I do love post-rock quite dearly, and I enjoy even it better when vocals are intermingled. Sadly, I have kind of left the genre at the nearest rest stop, and moved on. I needed a band to pump the energy back into me: Somebody to make me fall in love with it all over again. Kent's Magnets is that answer. Gorgeous, airy arrangements that settle deep in to your system, before any action is taken place. Nothing ever feels rushed on their recent self-titled EP, where the 4 tracks are a perfect soundtrack to your most [...]
Mamaroneck, N.Y., native Guy Capecelatro III has had his fair share of experience playing in a multitude of bands ever since picking up the guitar at age 10. Naturally, this built him an impressive circle of musician friends he often calls upon to help him with his solo efforts, including North For The Winter, which [...]
Ocorre nos próximos dias 28 e 29 de Fevereiro, no Porto, o MusiCULT II, um workshop sobre a cidade, a cultura e a música. " (...) O ponto de partida – e sustento - do evento é um projeto de investigação de cinco anos sobre os últimos 30 anos do rock em Portugal, que se materializa com o lançamento, em Abril próximo, do livro «Diacronias do rock em Portugal (1980-2010)» (primeiro volume), da autoria da socióloga Paula Guerra. «Diacronias do rock em Portugal (1980-2010)» será debatido por diversos investigadores do país e do estrangeiro, [...]
Big life changes including having a child and moving from New York City to the Catskills have proved to be more than enough inspiration for Two Dark Birds frontman Steve Koester. That's probably why the band's sophomore full-length is called Songs For The New—and why the album's sound is more hopeful and outdoorsy-sounding than the [...]
Kerretta is a band that decided to break the hard-rock mold and say, "Who needs a vocalist?"—and with good reason. The last thing this New Zealand trio needs is a human voice covering up what could easily serve as the soundtrack to an epic medieval battle or a harrowing viking journey. The band's sophomore album, [...]
Halloween is over, but we can still witness the solo careers of artists rise from the ashes of their old bands, and note that both have used the term "Ghosts" in the title or band name. Magnets & Ghosts "Mass" Collective Soul Founding Member Dean Roland & Singer/Songwriter Ryan Potesta strike out as Magnets & Ghosts. The duo have many diverse musical influences, the opener "Hearts of Everyone" has more in common with the alt band Love & Rockets than CS. But it doesn't take [...]

Guided by Voices gets the cover of the recently relaunched print version of MAGNET Magazine (a rock mag I subcribed to and enjoyed immensely in the late 90s and early 00s - see me for back issues.) You can read the digital version here . Former GBV bassist ('95-'96) and well-known writer Jim Greer wrote the piece, which interviewed GBV honcho Robert Pollard and guitarist Mitch Mitchell at friendly confines in Dayton, Ohio. GBV recently announced that they had secretly recorded two LPs in the past few [...]
