We moved MM to WordPress in April 2010, after being one of the many blogs to get screwed by Google Blogspot. We noticed that this is our one thousandth post since that time and so we have marked the occasion (for such that it is for us) with an appropriately themed mix for your enjoyment. So, from the classic sound of Tenpole Tudor's new wave power-pop via The Men They Couldn't Hang's protest cow punk to the folk of Joe Pug and the Floydian prog-rock of The Silver Machines [...]
Ramshackle, eclectic, energetic, that about sums up B ury Me Not a nine track thirty minute joyride of American roots music released by Vermont based three piece Pariah Beat , Nick Charyk, Billy Sharff and Emily Eastridge. . The band took inspiration from three iconic albums explains Nick Charyk, "Before we started writing this record, Em, Billy and I talked a lot about the different music that excited us. At some point along the way, we boiled it down to three different records: Lucinda Williams' Car Wheels on a Gravel [...]
Take a boatload of eclectic instruments, big sing-a-long choruses and multi vocalists who can nail their harmonies, throw in songs that have more hooks than your grand daddy's tackle box, and you get Pariah Beat's sophomore effort, Bury Me Not . Like a dirt-encrusted buzzsaw from the past, moving forward with the weight of a freight train behind it, Bury Me Not injects youthful vigour into a familiar genre. Neither a gimmick nor reenactment, Pariah Beat's songs are intelligent, defiant, wry, and jubilant. Check out the slightly bonkers video [...]

They are served well by the addition of Pariah Beat , an up-and-coming punk folk noise band with Vermont roots now calling the [...]
We would like to introduce you to Pariah Beat . When we kicked back, threw on the headphones, and listened to this artist we thought "We journey through the Irish fjords speed grinding and pointing our pony's nose to the mean streets of Boston." What did you think? Use a tag or comment to share your thoughts with everyone. Enjoy. Genre: Rock-Pop-Folk Label: Unsigned Source: [...]
Pariah Beat is a natural follow-up to the The Devil Makes Three post from last week . The two bands are MySpace friends for goodness sake (Pariah Beat also lists Songs:Illinois faves - The Cankickers!). I could drop all the same adjectives on this band as I have for those two, but I'll just leave it at gypsy-folk-circus punk-rockers in fishnet and stiletto's (and that's just how the guys dress!).
