We're desperately cramming in as much as we can this month - new stuff, our Twelve Days of Christmas feature, festive tunes, and shortly our Best Of The Year lists and guest posts. Consequently, all these tunes are deserving of more time and more space than we're giving them in this post, but rest assured there is a veritable feast of musical delights to get your ears around - dive in. Self-professed psychedelic cavemen, pounding out their primitive songs hastily in the garage, Thee American Revolution bathes in the fuzz of the proceedings and have filled their debut [...]
Not exactly a CD release party for a CD that's been available to purchase both physically and digitally for a few weeks, Lydia Loveless plays Columbus on Saturday night for the first time since her badass twang-rocker Indestructible Machine was released by Bloodshot Records on September 13. While Josh Krajcik put Columbus in the national spotlight due to his 7-minutes (so far) of fame on the X-Factor (one of Loveless's first shows was with Krajcik), glowing reviews have been piling up for Loveless, [...]
MP3: The Regionals - Run A couple of months ago we alerted you to a new band, The Regionals, and praised their debut show, saying it was "rough around the edges in a good, Pavement/GBV way" and that it reminded us of "early Death Cab, before they got all tender and started to suck." Well, now we have the first recorded material from the band. Check out first single "Run," recorded by Keith Hanlon (The Black Swans, Orchestraville, Scioto Records), one of 12 tunes on the band's coming debut. [...]
A few months ago I hit up a Happy Hour/CD release show (The Mooncussers) at Rumba Cafe . Honestly, I left work a bit late and was hoping that I wouldn't have to sit through the opening act ( Tom Evanchuck ) that I didn't know anything about. So glad that my timing was off and I arrived just as Evanchuck was getting started. What I saw really blew me away ... a two-piece dirty blues band (I hesitate using the word "blues", but there is elements of blues and folk in Evanchuck's music). [...]
The Mooncussers sound makes total sense when you take a look at the resumes of the guys who make up the band. While a few of them played in noisier rock outfits in the early '90s up and down High Street, as everyone grew a little older/a little grayer, the good ol' Americana sound so prevalent in the midwest (is Ohio REALLY in the midwest?) started to creep into the different projects that these guys were involved with. The end result, which I think was sort of a stroke of luck that originally was conceived as [...]
Click here to view the embedded video. This went out yesterday, a new video from Columbus band The Mooncussers, fronted by ex-Lilybandit Todd May. It's off the band's EP, Demo , available here for free. MOKB liked it . Reaction among Donewaiting staffers has been, well, mixed: "I kinda like the Mooncussers EP, but thinking this video is shoddy/corny" "that video is horrible also, so is the song" "not their best, but it's what they got so far" "The video's appeal is [...]
Somewhat fitting that we have Columbus newcomers The Mooncussers following Damn The Torpedoes today, as The Mooncussers might have used that record as a boilerplate. Nothing revolutionary or earth shattering here, just top notch American roots rock and a hook big enough to snag Jaws. Lead single Lowlight is a great single that reminds me a little of Jackson Browne back when he mattered, and should appeal to who fans who dwell anywhere on the strip that runs from Springsteen to Gaslight Anthem, with all the [...]
