[The New Classics is a reoccurring segment in which we examine our favorite indie releases that are bound to replace our parent's "classic rock" stash hidden in the attic or the basement.

Ben Kitterman Ben Kitterman was enjoying a much needed break from the tour in Indiana when I had a chance to catch up with him. Just a few nights before he was 1,500 miles away playing in Biloxi, MS.; a place that holds fond memories for him. Biloxi is the city where he first coupled with the front man of Staind, Aaron Lewis by joining his current tour. Ben is certainly no stranger to music; some of his first memories were of his mother conducting a full musical orchestra. During this time his [...]

In case you've been living under a rock for the past year, Chicago's Netherfriends has been on a year-long 50 songs/50 states project , in which the psych-pop outfit, headed by Shawn Rosenblatt, aimed to play a song in all 50 states in one year. Now, the first recording from the ambitious project is about to be unleashed. On April 12, Netherfriends will release a 73 EP titled Angry East Coast on Celler Hits , which will feature three [...]
Artist: Nick Nemesis Album: Sidetracked 2 From: West Chester, PA Age: 19 I know some of your itunes libraries are getting a little overpopulated after the amount of music we have been slapping you in the digital face with, but suck it up. Trade in your ipad 16Gz (because it can't hold the volume) for the ipad2 this Friday. Also, do yourself a favor; buy the 64Gz because the beats are not going to stop coming. Today we are introducing Nick Nemesis who came [...]
Have you ever gone to a show and only later found out that three of your friends decided to go last minute and you had no idea they were even there? Maybe you're a huge fan and their still getting acquainted with the inner-workings of Band X. You were in the pit and they were sipping beers at the bar. That always makes for an interesting conversation later on, as different people can interpret the same even differently. Hey Einstein, Isn't that relativity? Whatever. Ricky and Brendan hit up the same Deerhoof show a few weeks [...]
At the end of September 2010 I introduced you to Headless Horseman , a duo from New York who had just released a five-song EP called...."5songs" that was packed with experimental Lo-Fi oddities and layered with unusual vocal hooks and misplaced harmonies. It was this combination of differe nces that brought everything together so well and had me listening to the EP for days and days on end, and now they've released another couple of songs that were supposed to be part of a 73 release in January on TwoSyllable but that never happened, and now they're supposed to be [...]
Words by Brendan Sullivan You've been a band for 26 years, with the current trio incarnation for the last 18 of those. You've put out 12 studio albums, multiple compilations of B-sides and a collection of live covers, countless EPs and singles, two film scores, and an LP of garage rock covers under a pseudonym, for good measure. You have over 200 original songs under your belt and almost 100 covers in recorded form, alone. You've been associated with Matador Records, one of the longest-standing premier indie labels, since 1993. You've toured all [...]
Honestly, I have no idea why I'm posting Live's Lightning Crashes besides I heard it yesterday and remembered I loved it. Although that's a pretty good reason in my book. It's funny as a blogger you tend to be the worst of the worst when it comes to the novelty of a song. Once it's a couple months (weeks, sometimes days) old, there's something new to take its place in the listening cycle. That's why I make a conscious effort to listen to the radio. On the radio, you're not really choosing what you're listening to and that [...]

Words by Brendan Sullivan This was the third I've seen Jenny Owen Youngs , and I have a hard time picking a favorite show out of those. The first time, she played with a bassist and drummer, and the second time was mostly solo. This time, with just a drummer in tow, she herself stuck to electric guitar and played a sweet but rockin' set of her signature, heartfelt pop-rock tunes. She even brought up the singer and violinist from Wakey! Wakey! for a couple songs, yielding a really cool take [...]

This man and his band just played one of the best shows I've heard in a long time. If you are on the east coast I highly suggest you check out The Jimmy Herring Band tour dates. http://jimmyherring.net/?page_ id=9 More to come, including shots, sounds and footage of opening band UZO who was also technically awesome.
Words by Brendan Sullivan Kudos to Opus One and the Brillobox for getting these two awesome bands to come to Pittsburgh twice in the last year. I caught both Lower Dens and Bear In Heaven when they were here back in March and January, respectively, and when I saw them on the same bill for this one, I knew I couldn't miss it. The beautiful, guitar-heavy drone rock of Lower Dens and the upbeat, synth/percussion/bass-driven pop of Bear In Heaven made a surprisingly perfect match for [...]
