Night Surgeon , a duo from Portland, OR composed of Patrick Replogle and John Boyd are into melodic synth pop with a twist. Their new self-titled EP, produced and mixed by Gabriel Espinosa (Blondie, Fischerspooner, Mobile), is built around early Eighties New Wave pop interacting with a pulsating back beat. Both Berklee graduates, they have found a middle ground between complexity and accessibility. Progressive pop that could cross over to the mainstream. Touches of Depeche Mode ( Let Love In , Changes ) and The Pet Shop Boys ( Magnets ). [...]
Now this is a protest song featuring all sorts of riot mayhem, police and anonymous action by the band Atari Teenage Riot . ATR wants you to lip sync to this tune and film yourself doing it with a black flag in the background. No not Rollin's and Ginn's Black Flag logo. A solid black one like the illustration above. A sure fire way of getting on a watch list so be sure to wear a mask with the mouth cut-out at least. Make sure to look angry and sinister! Atari Teenage [...]

January 2011 was a strange month. No need to get personal with you guys, but it was. I've been in a different state of mind of late, and maybe this playlist reflects my mood better than I can put into words. This is the stuff that got me through the last month. You could say that these are my favorite songs of January 2011, but that's not really what this is about. This is a unique collection of songs that strangely works in my mind. I hope it works for you too. I put it together in a [...]
Tweet There's a pretty active indie scene over yonder in PDX. That's Portland, for those of you not-so-worldly types. There's a whole universe of hipsters over there that can seriously rival those from Silverlake and Williamsburg and those dudes know their tunes. I was contacted recently by a talented duo called Night Surgeon just recently released their debut record entitled Day For Night. This long-player is chock full of melodic goodness and quality songwriting. Electronic pop with a strong emphasis on purpose and intent. Injecting a bit of [...]
I have an amazing new act to share with you guys. If you like the emotional electronic pop of acts like Passion Pit, then you will absolutely love Night Surgeon .

The album was recorded in Portland, and was produced and mixed by Gabriel Espinosa who has worked with acts like Blondie and Fischerspooner. It's an album that delights with ease, consisting of 9 songs just shy of [...]
