[Photos by Jill Harrison at For the Love of Brooklyn] The way that the brothers Jennings, Van and Lain Carney - aka Pontiak - are able to live their lives as musicians is about as far from the New York experience as you can get. Where our musicians live in cramped apartments, borrow or rent practice space, and live near the places where they play, the Carneys record and practice their music on their own farm/studio in rural Virginia, where they decamped to after a five year stint in the Baltimore scene, where they played with compatriots [...]

In these days of obsessive self-promotion, it can be a challenge to remember the artists who don’t feel the need to beg for your attention, those performers who are more enthused by their own art and less by their recognition. Pontiak , three Appalachian psych-leaning brothers content with their blues jams and reverb pedals, are one of those bands. Operating in a space that is entirely their own, Pontiak is a band that thrives upon their own independent nature and experimental urges. Existing on a on the stoner spectrum somewhere between My Morning Jacket and [...]

(Salvacion - from Wilmington) Last Thursday was one of those nights where I go out intending to see one band, and end up catching something else entirely. I was all prepared to spend the majority of my evening at Kings seeing Pontiak -- and I did spend a good bit of time there. But before heading over, I went to Slim's, and was totally blown away by Salvacion , a raucous dual-guitar classic metal band from Wilmington. I'd listened to their stuff before and liked it, but I was completely won [...]

Pontiak - Lions Of Least Pontiak - Left With Lights The über prolific Pontiak bros released the beautifully booming Echo One full length last month, adding to an already impressive back catalogue of an almost purist, no gimmicky bullshit approach to growling guitars, crunchy bass riffage, and thick-as-fuck percussion skills. Hell yes. Crank the volume up and be patient - this droning, slow-mo pummeling will melt your face off indeed, but it'll take its goddamn time doing so . [...]
