pünktlich zum record store day hat awkwardcore records eine vorzügliche compilation herausgehauen. nun ist das dingens zwar keine schallplatte, die man aus dem laden seines vertrauens mitnehmen kann, aber dennoch teil einer möglichen unterstützungswelle für all jene, die sich bemühen, der menschheit musik zur verfügung zu stellen, die nicht nur zum zukleistern des eigenen, miefigen alltags dienen soll. das 21track starke gerät hat einiges in petto, mit an bord sind the music tapes, apollo ghosts, the capstan shafts, deerhof, simon waldram, fewn und viele andere mehr. also, fünf bucks, die ihren zweck nicht verfehlen!

Photo by Kristie Lee Krause With a sound that's a little bit Cocteau Twins, a little bit Throwing Muses, it wouldn't be surprising if askew Philly popsters Arc In Round eventually get snatched up by revered UK boutique label 4AD Records . But, for the present, the foursome is concentrating on its long-in-the-making debut. This Thursday, Dec. 2, the band is putting out the Diagonal Fields EP; the record-release show at Johnny Brenda's also features Golden Ages, Post Post, and Pink Skull on the bill. [...]

Seeing The Coral on Saturday night was a revelatory experience for me. Not the band so much - they were as warm and fulfilling as expected, a bit like getting into a bathtub filled with your favourite winter soup. No, the revelation was that it was my first - and possibly my last - all-seater gig. I'll say this for The Lowry in Salford Quays: the acoustics are outrageously good. The room is full of strangely-suspended baffles and oddly-angled appendages, and has clearly been designed by computer to make every spot in there the perfect listening [...]

In 2008, four junior's from Bryn Mawr college in PA came together to form a dreamy indie pop quartet called Post Post . These ladies recorded their debut EP called Meta Meta with two mics, apple's garageband application and passion for creating the music that they love. Meta Meta is out now and is available for a one cent minimum on Awkwardcore . I suggest being a little generous and donating more. $5 gets you a physical copy...just saying MP3 :: Post Post - Wolf [...]

Having taken the time to rummage through 1,000 previous posts as I did last week, one thing has become apparent: I've COMPLETELY lost the plot to this whole endeavor. But found a different one I didn't anticipate. At the outset, the pipe dream was pretty standard—your one stop for vinyl news and reviews coupled with some personal anecdotes. Y' know, the obvious bullshit. And I guess it could have been great if say, there weren't a zillion of those sites out there doing just fine, thank you. So it veered off somehow—less emphasis on [...]
I swear I missed my calling in life—I should have been a band or talent scout or a label rep. I can practically tell you at note two or three if I'm going to be into something and better yet—if YOU are going to be into something. It's a gift. You're welcome. You might be asking yourself then why so many more or less 'established' acts have graced our Wednesday 'First Date' feature which was initiated under the pretense of introducing brand new talent–fresh from the 15th rehearsal or the warm demo. Well, honestly, that [...]

Women have had a rough go of it in the world of rock and roll. If indie rock were a party, let's be honest, it would be a sausage fest, and the only ladies there would have shown up with at least three other dudes in tow. Seldom would you see more than two ladies together, and even then who knows where they would end up by the end of the night. So what about those all-female (or mostly female) groups that have made some headway over the years? There have been a few to hit the scene over the [...]

Post Post is an all girl indie rock band from Philly. "The Auction (Part II)" is a danceable rock track that doesn't look towards cheap tricks like hand claps and big synths to create energy and movement. These girls are still new to the game and trying to make some noise. I think they've got some serious potential. Post Post - The Auction (Part II) | Zshare Pigeons and Planes
Post Post is a new band out of Philadelphia, presenting us with their first EP Meta Meta. Recorded with only two mics and Apple's Garageband, Meta Meta resonates through your speakers with a slightly distorted sound that seems to match its melodic & moody pop tunes. Post Post is throwing a release party for the [...]
I've finally slashed my email inbox to 200 emails. I've literally been sitting here for a good portion of today, just getting through the emails. Sadly I've had nothing else to do today. I think this is one of the strongest portions of the "music from the inbox" series. Every one of these songs is pretty strong! Anyway, click the song, digg it, visit them on myspace to find out more!
