With the new music coming in from all directions non-stop all year long, we miss great new releases when they come out for one reason or another. That's what this playlist mix series is for - to save face. Haha. No, really, it's just a focused way to say, "hey, there's great, new music we [...] Related posts:Recent Releases We Almost Missed, Vol. V: The Library Is On Fire, Son Lux, The Ambience Affair, Japanther, Yawn, Kikipau Five Anticipated Summer Releases, Vol. III: Washed Out, Sparklehorse & Danger Mouse, Chief, Jaill, and Menomena Recent Releases We Almost Missed, [...]

Washington DC's No Second Troy supply a nice bridge between indie and more adult temporary pop with engaging song and other fixtures.

Its seems like more and more emails pile up in the ol' CoS mailbox everyday. Of course, while this is bad news for us (the work day just keeps getting longer and lonnnnggeer), it's good news for you. Said emails often include links and streams to the week's best new singles, remixes, and covers, and, because more emails means more links and stream, the length of our weekly Friday Mixtape also seems to growing beyond our wildest imagination. See, I told you it was good news... for you! Enjoy! (I'm going to now go and answer more emails). [...]

Well, I'm pleased. D.C.'s No Second Troy have offered up two new mp3s in anticipation of their new album, Colors , which drops April 27, 2010. We last covered them when they made available a first song off Colors , "This is the End of Me", so, if you can't do math, we now have THREE new songs from No Second Troy a month before the album release. Thanks, guys! The two songs are titled "Black & White Movie", and "Leap of Faith". The tunes are less arena-like than those on their previous album [...]

No Second Troy Washington DC, United States As you might expect the Devil receives a virtual skipload of emails a day from PR companies around the world promoting their clients. They serve a really useful purpose and a number of the better PR companies have alerted me to brilliant bands I might otherwise have missed. However you really do need to take the hyperbole of press releases with an industrial strength pinch of salt. The press release for Washington [...]
![[MP3] No Second Troy: "This is the End of Me"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2343389_lg.jpg)
D.C. ghosts (nice ones!) of a long (but not forgotten!) past , No Second Troy, have finally returned with a new single, "This is the End of Me" off their new, yet-to-be named album due out this Spring. They're releasing it in conjunction with their upcoming show at the 9:30 Club next Friday, February 18 , so I expect some of you D.C. folk who read KR to be in attendance. No Second Troy, as expected, are back to their typical pop/rock form on "This is the End of Me". Spacey guitars and echoing [...]

After some great weather and a holiday you either love or hate (damn you, St. Valentine!), winter is somehow still here. And since I got a new cable line wired into the apartment, so am I. Spring is just around the corner and bands are gearing up for the festival of festival in Austin. Yes, SXSW is only a month away. So prepare yourself for a veritable onslaught of bands fine tuning their shows before heading down Texas way. Papertrigger A few bands are [...]

No Second Troy is a DC act (I know, I'm not in that area anymore, but I don't forget my Knox Road roots) that has recently been picking up a ton of momentum, and for good reason. Their sprawling atmospheric rock is highly listenable to fans of many genres. Their mix of diverse sound (keys, thumping guitar/bass lines, synthesizers) adds to the impressive raspy full-ranging voice of lead singer, Jeff Wharen. Wharen's vocals have the ability to sometimes make the songs themselves, so it's that much more impressive that Wharen has an excellent group of musicians surrounding him - [...]

TGH favorites No Second Troy are releasing a new single, "Masquerade," in conjunction with their 9:30 Club show on August 22nd (buy tickets , or tickets + the single ). As usual, Jeff Wharen's ethereal vocals and the band's delicate instrumentation carry the song to the heights of radio-friendly alt rock. No Second Troy - Masquerade It's $15 for No Second Troy + three openers (one of them is Exit Clov?), so you have no excuse not to go. Please excuse my likely absence, I'll probably be stuck [...]
