This week ushers in the beginning of a parade of albums we've been waiting all year to hear, albums that will likely be our favorites of 2007. This is not to say there aren't other excellent records in the pipeline that we think will be stupendous ( Kevin Drew , Les Savy Fav , etc.). But here's the rundown of the stuff at the very tip top of our list: >> Sept. 18: The A-Sides -- Silver Storms -- Vagrant [ buy! ] The A-Sides have had [...]
I'm settled in Austin, sorry for the delays. No more three weeks between posts. Probably more like a week, week and a half, haha... after this spurt of making it up to y'all. After this I'm going to hit some major albums of the summer that you shouldn't have missed, but for the next few posts I'm going to highlight some great bands coming out of Austin, TX. First up is Ringo Deathstarr . The comparisons to Jesus & Mary Chain are unavoidable, and [...]
After our initial, breathless assessment of Beaumont, Texas-spawned shoegaze behemoth Ringo Deathstarr here in February, we sort of took our eyes off the ball. It turns out the ball hasn't moved too far in the interim. But a MySpace bulletin from the band today sucked us right back into the trio's world, one that alternately pummels and drifts in beautiful aural shag. The act, led by a fellow named Elliot Frazier, is streaming a new, palindromically titled cut at its MySpace for a limited time. So hit this link and have a listen to [...]
Please forgive if I just post these. I like them all very much, and you can find more information and songs by clicking the artists' names. Rightly doth Jesus neither know nor love me. I mean, look at this. (He might like the tunes, though.) Great Northern - The Middle mp3 (pic) Coffinberry - Cruise Control Psycho mp3 The Sinister Turns - The Last Time mp3 Ringo Deathstarr - Some Kind of Sad mp3
Ringo Deathstarr - "Some Kind of Sad" from an album they're currently recording for SVC. Do you like Jesus and Mary Chain? Because these kids sure do. Good stuff. More songs on MySpace. Via the Fork....
Ringo Deathstarr are the latest signing to SVC Records . The band come from Texas and according to the label they make .....a glorious racket it is... Swathed in feedback and attitude . No prizes for guessing who they sound like then. If you need any further clues then download the taster track from the forthcoming album, pretend it's 1984/85, scribble the word candy down as often as you like and then press play.

Day 14 in an Austin Texas hotel room. We're all up late and wired, so I'm posting some tunes. I put an offer on a house today, I'm starting a new job, my wife is carrying our first child, and I've already fallen for this city. Life is good. Enjoy some new music. 01 - Fionn Regan - "Abacus" . I may as well lead off with this one as it's my favorite tune from this set. A recent signing by the increasingly impressive [...]
