Let's keep this simple. To me, this site has always been about supporting the local music scene. So I decided, that there is no better way to celebrate our first anniversary, than to make a mix of local music from the past year. I had so much fun, that I ended up making two discs. Some of these bands have come a long way in the last 12 months, some didn't even exist when we started and others are no more. That said, every song is from a band that claims (or claimed) the Baltimore/Washington metro area as [...]
This week's mix features many relatively unknown bands along with some new music from bands you should know already. I have also tried to keep with the tradition of including two songs from local artists. Architecture In Helsinki - Fumble Kinetic Stereokids - Explosions Were Heard Two If By Sea - Report From Damage Control Phoenix - Long Distance Call Broken Social Scene - Fire [...]

Washington, DC Soft Complex is like a modern day marriage between The Smiths and New Order. This is one of DC's finest bands and one of the most polished new wave groups you'll find today. Their debut EP is available now through Silverthree Recordings and they'll be playing tomorrow night at The Rock & Roll Hotel with stellastarr* and Monsters Are Waiting. [...]

In the last couple of years some great bands have sprouted up seemingly from a love for the jangly guitars, driving beats, and clever songwriting of classic English indie rock from the 80s. Canada spawned the Dears, England sired Bloc Party, and now the US has given juicy birth to Soft Complex. Soft Complex currently [...]
Going back to a normal work schedule kind of sucks, doesn't it? Well, we have a cure for you. On Saturday night, we are throwing a Holiday Hangover Party at Gullifty's in Harrisburg, PA. If you'll be around the area (Baltimore and Philly are both within 90 minutes), you should definitely check it out. The line-up features some fantastic bands and it's our first ever IA event. DC's Soft Complex will be playing their premiere show in south central PA. They are a fantastic live band and they [...]
Chris might write for this site, but he also plays guitar for a really good band. Soft Complex is a five-piece from Washington, DC. If you like 80's Brit pop, melodramatic vocals, chimy guitars, new wave synth, cello... this is the band for you. They recently released their debut and they have big things planned for 2007, so this is the time to become acquainted with them. Band: Soft Complex Location: Washington DC Formed: Current lineup solidified in February of 2005 [...]
(Art credit still goes to Jocko .) It's been a good week here at TSS . That said, I'll resume with the light posting starting today as I buckle down again on The Rex Monday fiction suit, clarifying its vision while avoiding the simplistic. I had planned on holding this LP until Monday, but I suppose I shouldn't leave all o' youze without something to amuse yourselves. Lord knows what manners of damage you might inflict. After the break, some songs for your consideration. Like what you [...]
