Back in 2008, when we first began to officially provide artists and bands a formal way to submit their music to us for review, we would get a few dozen submissions a month. However, in the past two years, as the traffic to IRC has steadily grown (most especially in the past year), the number [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
This album from Chapel Hill, NC band Nathan Oliver came out earlier this year and it is quite a good album. The band is fronted and primarily consists of Nathan White, a local musician. His touring band also has members of The Rosebuds, Schooner and several others and was recorded in Chapel Hill at Pox World Studios. The album is incredibly well developed, combining a lot of different disparate elements together to achieve a very interesting and unique sound. It is intimate at times and hectic and chaotic at times as well. He shows a [...]

North Carolina indie band Nathan Oliver have been pushing hard behind their solid sophomore album Cloud Animals. I recently had the opportunity to speak with lead singer/songwriter Nathan White about the album and music in general. Here's our conversation:T.O. Snob: Your new album Cloud Animals came out earlier this year. For people who aren't familiar with you how would you describe the album
Offset Festival Absolutely no excuses for a quiet forthcoming weekend. Granted, August Bank Holiday is probably still etched in the hazy realms of your mind, but trust me, September`s shaping up very nicely for those investing in cultural gatherings. Offset Festival`s scenic forest surroundings with the fantastic advantage of being a stones throw from the capital. Multi stages over two days promise to produce a weekend equally relevant to new artists as the more established line-up. Early September British weather, fingers crossed! [...]
Cloud Animals Cover I participate in discussions at Arstechnica, which fields discussions about many technical things as well as legal issues surrounding music. Over-and-over again, I hear folks there spout about how there is little to no creativity on the radio these days and that's the reason why they pirate music: it's not worth paying for. Meanwhile, I nod to the radio part of it. Quite frankly, radio stinks. Even the musicians I like on the oldies stations get the same playlist overplayed and make me sick of the classic iconic oldies. But, those folks haven't [...]
Nathan Oliver Cloud Animals Pox World Empire , 2009 Nathan Oliver: "French Press" Cloud Animals is a mix of folk, modern rock, and synth goodness to make a diverse palette of selections. There are some uneven parts here, many of the songs don't really resemble the one that came before it. But they make a whole. A great whole. The opener carnivalesque "Icicles for Fingers" has [...]
Nathan Oliver: "Icicles For Fingers" Nathan Oliver: "State Lines Pt. 3" I've been sitting on Nathan Oliver's new release Cloud Animals for almost two months now. I've thought about it, I've wanted to listen to it, and I just really haven't. Sometimes these things take some time to percolate. But the Raleigh-based band draws on some of the most positive influences from the Triangle, including members of North Elementary and The Rosebuds. A/nd plus it's out on local label Pox World Empire . [...]

Hope this will do just a slight bit of justice to his good job! First up is US singer/songwriter Charlie [...]
