Still in Colorado and it's snowing like a muthafucker today. Today's post is about North Twin's new album and I just wanna say that had the Spotucky guys not sent me this I would have been writing a post about this album in the coming weeks. It's fantastic. Enjoy. North Twins' new album "Stronger at the Broken Places" was met with great anticipation from me and my co-host on Spotucky Radio. We even went [...]
![North Twin - Stronger At The Broken Places [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1442336_lg.jpg)
A couple of times a year we come across a release that, in addition to the music, has a back story that makes the HearYa staff pull a little bit more for the band. Three days into the recording of their prior album, North Twin bassist/vocalist Rebecca Young was diagnosed with breast cancer. She never missed a beat and met the disease straight on, barely missing any studio time. I am sure we've all known someone afflicted by this horrible disease and its always inspiring to read about someone with Rebecca's fight and resolve. Inspirational story aside, [...]

The is a shiver is passing through the very heart and soul of the Seattle music scene as the 2008 Seattle Weekly's REVERBFest peeks out from behind the Bumbershoot mamoth. Boasting over 60 Seattle area bands in the lineup, ReverbFest is picking up some serious momentum. As we close in on one month until the "big show", October 4th is already looking to go down as one of the greatest conglomeration of local talent I can ever remember having seen. Palms are getting sweaty... pupils dilating... this is like porn for the Northwest audiophile. They're going to be pouring [...]
Shane Berry of The Divorce, Crocodile Cafe 6/30/07 (final show!) photo by Allison Harger Sadly, after seven years, Seattle must say goodbye to The Divorce , who performed their final shows last Saturday at the Crocodile, one for the kids and one for the boozers. The band, who were voted best pop/rock band for the 2006 Seattle Weekly Music Awards and who played KEXP's 3rd Annual Yule Benefit , promise that you haven't heard the last of them yet, as their members all "have plans [...]
Some people are of the belief that a band's best song should be the third track on the cd, since that is the make or break track for most people. By some people, I mean one of my friends that I had this very conversation with recently. Personally, since I hear so damn much music you better catch me quick, and then you better hold me or I'll forget about you. An awesome first track will not hurt your efforts. North Twin opens with a scorching rock and roll track that grabbed me by the back of the head. [...]
