Special treat for you waveriders. We love Heavy Psych, Stoner, and Riff Rock around the Ripple. How could we not with bands like Stone Axe, Poobah, JPT Scare Band, Mos Generator, and the rest of the crew on our roster. And we also love the whole scene. People making music and folks supporting the music with love, enthusiasm and abandon. While there are lots of music sites to go to when you want to read about your favorite music, there's something cooler about a glossy printed magazine. Particularly when it comes with a [...]
Capping off a year that found Scotland's Iron Claw being hailed as the Rock n' Roll comeback story of the Decade, Iron Claw has roared back to build upon the momentum and notoriety gained in 2011. Rightly hailed as one of the silent legends, the pioneers of British Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, with their Ripple Music debut, A Different Game, Iron Claw proved that their role in Rock history shall never go unspoken again. A hard biting, bluesy album found the band re-energized and vibrant on their first ever official releases. After separating with vocalist [...]
Shelflife Records down in Portland has been quietly and consistently releasing quality records for the past 15 years. There's no let up in sight, and the recent handful of releases sees them continuing to do it. Here's a rundown of those recent releases, all of them worth checking out. White Wishes are from St. Petersburg, Russia and have an obvious thing for records that came out on 53rd & 3rd. They write slightly noisy yet tuneful pop songs. Come Say [...]
Who says you can't get something for nothing? Or nothing in life is free? Not me. Not when it comes to my collection of new stoner rock. I can thank The Soda Shop for that. The Soda Shop is notorious for feeding free tunes to the masses. I eagerly snatched up their first digital compilation earlier this year and less than 6 months later, Soda Shop Records release The Soda Shop Comp. Volume 2 . Jake Ball and Bill Goodman feature 12 promising new rock bands together in another awesome [...]
Facebook / http://sodashop.bandcamp.com/ I'm continuing my recent trend of nostalgic, luscious indie-pop with the new band of Maria Usbeck, known to me as the lead singer in previously blogged Selebrities Maria's side-project Soda Shop moves away from the synth based disco-noir and into instantly listenable, classic pop territory. Alongside Drew Driver (of Horse Shoes a group I'm not yet familiar with) Soda Shop have a few tracks to listen to on their bandcamp / soundcloud page and following up a vinyl release in [...]
You may recognise the voice here, thats because the lead singer is Maria Usbeck of Cascine darlings Selebrities no less. Along side her is Drew Diver, one half of the Horse Shoes duo (with Jacob Graham of The Drums). continue reading >>
Soda Shop : Longing - Stream Soda Shop , vous vous souvenez ? Le duo new-yorkais, side-project de Maria Usbek ( Selebrities ) est sur le point de sortir un EP. Premier extrait le très sympathique et very poppy Longing . Remember Soda Shop ? Maria Usbek's ( Selebrities ) project is about to release a new EP. First cut, this poppy & dreamy Longing [...]
Soda Shop - Longing I'm kinda wondering which of Maria Usbeck 's projects is going to 'break' first. Will it be the catchy dance of Selebrities or the lush retro pop of this project. All I know is that she's very talented, and with duo partner Drew Driver write some fantastic and dynamic songs. Keep an eye out for their forthcoming EP on Shelflife Records .

Mp3: Soda Shop - Farewell
![Soda Shop: Farewell [7" Single Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3204424_lg.jpg)
Pop music comes in many forms, and Soda Shop 's duo - Drew Diver and Maria Usbeck - create a playful indie pop with a cleverly picked hollow-body electric guitar, plenty of tambourine, and a fair share of melodic, dark vocals courtesy Maria. Farewell hints, like many great modern indie pop bands, of a time long gone. "Farewell" is filled with pop hooks, borderline upbeat. "When You're Lonely", on the other hand, is a dreamy nighttime ballad, soft and slow. Yes, these songs hint of that old [...]
Last month we introduced you guys to Soda Shop out of Brooklyn, NY. We've been fascinated with the 50s diner jukebox duo ever since so the obvious next step was to concoct a little blog interview. I've been listening to their track "Farewell" in the morning and it always seems to start my day out right (I also can't get the line "...and we can have so much fun" outta my head). If you want the band's background info click here and for a more in-depth look check out the interview below: [...]

Soda Shop is the merging of Drew Diver (Horse Shoes) and Maria Usbeck (Selebrities), a boy and a girl who met by fate at an Embassy concert in Brooklyn, NY. The Embassy, whom heavily influenced both Drew and Maria's other acts, brought together a new duo. Though this time, leaving the drum machines and synthesizers behind for a hollow-body guitar and tambourine. If you're a fan of classic girl-groups (Shangri-Las, The Ronettes) or current pop (Acid House Kings, The Cardigans, Tennis, The Raveonettes or Summer Camp) you won't want to miss out on the debut single from [...]

Whilst I'm sorting out the bangers for tonight's DJ sets it's nice to have a break and listen to something completely different. So here for your pleasure and my sanity is the debut release from Soda Shop, the Brooklyn based duo comprised of Drew Driver from Horse Shoes and Maria Usback from Selebrities . A faithful and lovingly recreated slice of perfect pop, Driver and Usback have made the kind of heartbreaking teenage symphony that Phil Spector produced for 60s girl groups like The Crystals and The Ronnettes. Lovely, lovely stuff. It's out on white [...]
Soda Shop is the Brooklyn, New York collaboration of musicians Drew Diver, from Horse Shoes [featured here in September 2009], and Maria Usbeck of Selebrities who have recently completed a pair of songs which are set for release as a single through international label Shelflife Records in January of 2011. Just in time for blustery winter days, Soda Shop provides a warm interpretation of sparse
