Artist: ramona falls

Ramona Falls and SF locals Social Studies dazzled the crowd at Brick & Mortar Wednesday night.

Photos by Charlie Homo I've had the distinct pleasure of catching Social Studies two years in a row at Noise Pop : I saw them open for Wye Oak last year , and I caught them again Wednesday night with Ramona Falls . While this review isn't quite a "What a difference a year makes!" piece, because the band was excellent on both nights, the evolution of the band has been pretty exciting to watch. But before [...]

On February 26, Noise Pop returns for its 21 st year to bring us independent music, film, and art. There'll be some incredible emerging—and not so emerging—musicians playing this year, but there's only room for one preview per blog entry. Here's the first: Ramona Falls , Social Studies , Mahgeetah , and LA's Harriet rock the festival on February 27 at Brick & Mortar . The lineup is a smart gradient from Mahgeetah and Harriet's rootsy, Wilco-esqe airs, through Social Studies' pared-down dark pop, to Ramona Falls' heavily-layered [...]

Favorite Music Videos of 2012 (Alex) There was no way I was going to be able to watch all the music videos released this year. I liked so many different videos for so many different reasons it seemed silly to try and rank them. That's why I have presented my first year-end list (several more to come) alphabetically. The reasons I liked music videos this year was for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from the ones that might not have made the list [...]

Portland alt-rock duo The Helio Sequence have released the second single off their fifth studio album Negotiations . "Hall of Mirrors" is something of a spiritual sequel to lead single "October" , but it takes the crashing cymbals, effervescent harmonies, and low, grumbling guitar and builds something far more life-affirming. The Helio Sequence - "Hall of Mirrors" Negotiations hits stores on September 11th via Sub Pop. In support of the record, the band have announced their fall tour schedule, [...]
