By Ace Ubas With Valentine’s Day looming, what better way for romantic couples to spend a cold Saturday night than at a Los Campesinos! concert. Gareth Campesinos , vocalist and songwriter for the Welsh outfit, advised to the crowd Saturday night that their headlining show is “not a place for couples. It’s a pit of despair.” Why? Well, if you’re familiar with them at all, then you’ll know that their lyrics hit on themes of lovelorn and heartbreak. Apparently Los ...

On Saturday night I hit the Los Campesinos! show at Lee's Palace - or, I hit the door, where I was told I had to ditch my camera, a rule that's becoming more and more enforced at Toronto venues.

I chose the less expensive option. Sunday night I returned, sans camera, and found Parenthetical Girls sound-checking. Wait - they were starting their set, a half [...]
2011 was an exciting year for Andy Plank. He began his career in writing, the Packers won the Super Bowl , he rediscovered Comedy Bang Bang and he got big red glasses. He spent most of the 365 days between January 1 and December 31 listening to albums that came out early in the discographies of Weezer, Modest Mouse, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World. Every once in a while, however, he stopped being so bitter about all of his favorite bands that crumpled and faltered under the pressure of becoming popular and he listened to a few new [...]
Portland experimental pop act AU will release its third full-length album, Both Lights , on April 3rd via Hometapes. According to a press release, the album's 11 tracks are a reaction to the time between their last album, 20082s Verbs , and their subsequent lives and careers. It further adds: "More than a mere accompaniment, it's a gleaming mirror. It's an exaltation, an exhalation, a monument of extreme composition, the child of collaboration and isolation, a preamble to a wild live show, a statue intact in the violent wind of art and commerce, and, simply, a [...]
As major labels continue to exist behind the times, artists and labels with little capital and lesser reputations are producing some of the most innovative, interesting, and inspiring music. Whether it’s creating a new niche in digital technology or looking to once obsolete formats, Agitated Atmosphere hopes to pull back the curtain on a wealth of sights and sound from luminaries such as Matt Carlson . The resume of Matt Carlson is one to make lesser creatives jealous, but rehashing its high and lows is rendered moot by this [...]
