L Magazine 's annual feature of 8 Bands You Need To Hear is always worthy of a look, especially since they do a pretty good job of identifying local up-and-comers that are just beginning to get on peoples' radars, which is a notable feat, since the scene is so routinely over-scoured. But, there's some interesting stuff in here, from the gauzy pop of Field Mouse and a new project from members of Wild Yaks, Harlem and the Siberians (called Daytona), so head to their site to read a little more about them. The eight who made [...]

There's a large possibility I've posted about this song before, but I've been cleaning up my itunes and was reminded how freaking fantastic this indie folk rock band is. This song in particular always makes me stop in my tracks and really listen. The vocals are so genuine it takes my breath away. I could continue with terrible cliches but only because they are true. So whether you've heard it or not, have a listen, that's all I'm trying to get across here. You can find them on facebook , listen on bandcamp , and their website [...]
I've never been a big fan of looking back, sure it's comforting to reminisce about the good old times... Hey you know everybody's talking about the "good old days" Everybody! The good old days Well, let's talk about the good old days..." - Gladys Knight But in my mind the past does more harm than good. If you think about the past so much you're going to constantly be ignoring what's happening to you right now. The past is good for one thing and one thing only - [...]

Ravens & Chimes Cover Echo & the Bunnymen Ravens & Chimes — an incredibly promising NYC band that graced our Waynestock stage earlier this year — have managed to make the title track off Echo & the Bunnymen’s moody 1984 masterpiece, Ocean Rain , their own with tender, tight-knit harmony vocals and delicate piano/synth flourishes while retaining a reverent nod to the original. Hear their take above thanks to Cokemachineglow , where you can also grab a free MP3 of the tune.
