We have a great lineup of shows to share with you including Uh Bones ' record release party at Cole's, Videotape at Township, the Twilight Sad at the Rivieria and more. Buckle up... FRIDAY UH BONES It is generally pretty exciting [...]
Scott’s clear, airy vocals direct the velvety flow of Northern Automatic Music, riding atop bright arrangements of Rodriguez’s drum machine rhythms (more adventurous this time around than steady beat-filled She Dares All Things) and clouded, watercolor-toned guitar and keyboard. [...]
Whoa! I totally forgot it's still winter. But it is. And there's A LOT of snow on the ground. Still, don't let that keep you from some very rad shows going down this weekend. We're talking Panda Riot at the Hideout, High Art at the Bottle, Company Of Thieves at City Winery and more! Dig it... FRIDAY HIGH ART is that it's a collaboration between James [...]
This is a great record start to finish, like falling into a safety net, only to find the net is electrified. Oh, and you love the charge. Chicago-by-way-of-Philly rock band Panda Riot came about when members Brian Cook and Rebecca Scott were scoring short films. Those projects turned into songs turned into this band. And, considering the scope and breadth of sound on Northern Automatic Music, that origin is no surprise. These are bright, melodic pop songs with the long, menacing shadow of rock music. The gossamer layers of "In the Forest (Some Kind of Night Fills Your Head)" [...]
Following last summer's 73, " Serious Radical Girls ," yesterday marked the release of Panda Riot 's latest LP, Northern Automatic Music .

From the album's lead track, "Amanda in the Clouds," you are introduced to the vibe of Northern Automatic Music . The airy and almost haunting layered vocals of keyboardist Rebecca Scott lead you through [...]
There's no reason to wait another two decades for the next My Bloody Valentine opus to get a satisfying fix of shoegazing harmonies, not after you give up-and-comers Panda Riot a listen. There's no reason to wait another two decades for the next My Bloody Valentine opus to get a satisfying fix of shoegazing harmonies, not after you give up-and-comers Panda Riot a listen. PopMatters is premiering Panda Riot's "Amanda in the Clouds", a syrupy sweet, densely melodic soundscape that'll have you flashing back to forgotten Amerindie dream-pop favorites like Velocity Girl and the Swirlies. The opening track [...]
It's funny timing that My Bloody Valentine would drop their much anticipated follow-up to 19912s landmark record, Loveless , a few weeks before locals Panda Riot are set to release their latest, Northern Automatic Music . Funny because Panda Riot have not been ones to hide their fandom of My Blood Valentine's layered and lush shoegaze soundscapes in their own music. And now My Bloody Valentine, who have been such massive influencers over Panda Riot and many other current indie acts for more than two decades, are back in the mainstream instead [...]
It's been a while since we last heard from dream poppers Panda Riot . Their last official release was the sweet 2012 EP, Far & Near , but very recently the news emerged that the group will be dropping their brand new LP, Northern Automatic Music , drops on February 19 via Saint Marie Records . The first single, "Black Pyramids," has already gotten the video treatment. Like the song itself, full of melodic and lush shoegaze-isms that would make My Bloody Valentine do a double take, features some hazy and textured [...]
>> One marvel of the modern age is the speed at which technology continually reinvents ways for artists to conceive, collaborate and record music together. Case in point: Boston's new dream-pop concern, Winter . The band's terrific new EP Daydreaming is a collaboration between Infinity Girl fronter Nolan Eley and singer and songwriter Samira Winter . "She would write the songs, and send me demos she recorded on her iPhone. Then, I would arrange and produce them, record all the instruments and have her come [in and] sing," Mr. Eley told us late last [...]
As the week comes to a close, we gather up the pros and cons with a bit of hope and optimism despite the odds. Chief Keef's gun range Pitchfork interview cost him 2 months in juvie for violating probation while Meyhem Lauren struck back at the 'fork with the diss track, "The Laurenovich Angle (Fuck Pitchfork)". While word has it that Lil B will not be performing at the Grammys, the legions of Radiohead fans can hear unreleased material Thom Yorke dropped via Dazed Digital while...

New album Northern Automatic Music due out 2/19 on Saint Marie Records!
Projekt ”ryd op i mailboxen” er så småt gået i gang, men jeg farer dog frem med lempe, for det ville (trods alle spådomme om det modsatte) være åndssvagt at slette alt for mange interessante beskeder!

A four-piece dream-pop band fronted by the talented Rebecca Scott, Panda Riot first formed in Philly, but has been a staple of the local Chigcago clubs for several years now. 2012 saw the band release a 7" singled called "Serious Radical Girls" while they worked hard to complete their forthcoming full-length album Northern Automatic Music which is due out in February 2013. The band scored an impressive rating average of 8.16 out of 10.
Faldt lige over Panda Riot s (US band fra Philadelphia , hvis du ikke måtte kende dem) 2 år gamle cover af Paper Planes . Har det yderst svært med original versionen (måske lige bortset fra pistolskuddene, som lyder super fedt), men i deres udgave ifører Panda Riot sangen dream pop klæder ("drømmende pop" har altså ikke helt den samme klang) og pimper den med lidt cool shoegaze støj og pludselig lyder nummeret helt fantastisk! Døm selv...
