Colorado noizniks School Knights have a new track for your delectation, titled Powerslut . You can obtain the mp3 of the track for free here . In the summer of 2010, School Knights began as a noise-pop duo in the desolate hippie mountain town of Boulder, Colorado. Pulled from opposite coasts, Michael Stein and Zack Roif mixed their backgrounds of west-‐coast slacker surf and garage rock with east-‐coast punk and noise. Over the course of the next year, the duo recruited two more [...]

Género: Noise pop, rock. School Knights , formados en Colorado por Michael Stein y Roif Zack, ahora cuarteto, debutaron de largo el año pasado con All Dawgz Go to Heaven y planean novedades que nos traen para tomar el tono. Present Tense es un juego de pop ruidoso, guitarras traviesas, algo gamberro, que pondrá las pilas a aquellos que gusten de bandas como Surfer Blood o unos Cloud Nothings algo más desbocados. School Knights - [...]
Quando ho aperto la mail li stavo confondendo con i Knight School, band indiepop di New York (a proposito, che fine avrà fatto?), poi ho spinto play ed è venuta fuori una chitarrona che sembrava Cloud Nothings e allora ho controllato meglio il comunicato stampa. Tutt'altra roba. Si chiamano School Knights , provengono da Boulder, Colorado, e in effetti qualche connessione con la band di Dylan Baldi ce l'hanno, avendo condiviso con lui sia svariati concerti che qualche uscita sull'etichetta indipendente Bridgetown Records. Ora sono in una nuova formazione a quattro, il suono si è fatto più pop e [...]

Of all the Area Codes we've done so far, Denver is the biggest city, so it's probably not a surprise that it has one of the richer histories of anything in the series. Before the jam band craze of the early-to-mid '90s, Denver was long established as a friendly, scenic city conducive to folk acts (Judy Collins and John Denver) as well as jazz (Bill Frisell grew up there and Ron Miles is a mainstay). Now, the scene is kaleidoscopic and prolific, its components ranging from forward-thinking house music to exploratory psych-rock to jam to extremely left-field [...]

I always find it really hard to do song of the year posts, so I just put all the music I got in 2011 and picked 25 of my most played and most favorite tracks, some from my favorite albums, some demos and some singles, in no particular order. Enjoy: Nu Rave Brain Wave Top 25 Songs of 2k11 : The Babies - Sunset (from The Babies LP) The Babies - Sunset by nuravebrainwave [...]

The bros at Mind Fortress are planning what will surely be an amazing split record with our friends School Knights and Night Manager. If you are unfamiliar with School Knights wealth of absolutely astounding material, check out their debut LP All Dawgz Go 2 Heaven , and if that doesn't get you excited about the prospect of more material, you're fucking crazy. If you have design skills that are even marginally better than mine (hi, have you seen this [...]

I almost completely forgot about this sick as fuck School Knights cover of Del Shannon's Runaway . I've been giving the original a lot of love recently, and it made me remember how much I love this cover. I doubt that School Knights have ever done anything wrong in their whole, like, year of playing together. Enjoy this. If you haven't picked up their debut LP All Dawgz Go 2 Heaven , what the hell are you waiting for [...]

Hey guys, still trying to get settled in my new city, but here's something from the can-do-no-wrong bros over at DRACULA HORSE . The band is School Knights, and for this new record they brought out the heavy - bulked up their sound with more overdubs and brought some riffs to the table that'll get the head banging. I mean really. If I remember, School Knights is just one drummer, one guitar, and if that's still the lineup, their sound is crazy full and surprisingly technical - on par almost with guys like Fang Island and the Fucking Champs. [...]

Besides being one of my most talked about bands of 2010/2011, and one of my favorite bands, I'm pretty much obsessed with Denver's School Knights . Yesterday, or the day before, they released their debut album All Dawgz Go 2 Heaven which is already a contender for my favorite album of the year. Combining remastered efforts from their first EP and brand new songs that already had a place in my heart from their live set, it's one of the most cohesive sets of 11 songs of full tilt [...]

School Knights // All Dawgz Go To Heaven Here is something special to scorch your ear canals and leave them with a burning sensation for the better part of the day. Scuzz rockers School Knights just dropped their eagerly-anticipated debut album called All Dawgz Go To Heaven on the consistently impressive Dracula Horse label (run by those jolly old chaps in COOLRUNNINGS ). The album is eleven tracks of blistering noise pop with surprisingly high replay value. The album features reworks of several tracks [...]

The music of School Knights comes at you like a cascade of testosterone and sweat. 4 bros making music because they can; with little thought towards the result of the music. I mean this in the most sincere and respectful way possible. The music School Knight's make is fun, and gloriously so. Their new record, All Dawgz Go To Heaven , catches the summer right at its close, and perhaps coincidently, it mirrors the feeling of the time. The sound feels like a crash of temperatures and [...]

The Denver AFTERDARK Music Festival is almost here and C=T has some juicy details y'all are gonna need so that you can plan your evenings accordingly.

Robbie, Lindsay, and Chris of Radical Dads sent us these answers to our questions in this next installment of the q and also a series. q: What is the last song you (really) heard? r: Turn Around (mp3) by Lunch . l: Birds of Paradise Lost (mp3) by Conversion Party . Not only did I hear them play it live the other weekend at Cake Shop 's 6th birthday party, my manfriend insists on scatting the bass line, so [...]

It's with extreme pleasure that in collaboration with Analog Space , Bocumast , Meadowlark , Flobots.Org, Larimer Lounge and Twist & Shout that we announce the Denver AfterDark Music Festival. The late summer music festival will be a block party on 2700 Larimer where four stages will converge to bring to light music that we're vibing that represents the spectacular local music aesthetic. Most importantly, save the date (August 26th) and come with an empty stomach because there will food trucks in the vicinity to feed the hungry bellies [...]
