Date Tuesday, July 6th Location Parish Doors 800p Tickets $10 HERE When haven't we been fans of Islands ? Since the split of his old band, we've loved everything Nic Diamonds has done, and Islands is no exception. They'll be making their way through town, and as things have been slow as of late, you won't want to [...]

We're very excited to announce our involvement in the second annual Northside Festival , a four-day celebration of all the sweet sights and sounds brewing around the Williamsburg and Greenpoint neighborhoods. Headed by the always excellent L Magazine , this year's festival promises to build on 2009's success, and as savvy veterans of last year's inaugural installment , we here at EAR FARM also pledge to keep the good times going this year. As such, we're once again taking over Spike Hill , perhaps the most centrally located venue in the whole darn neighborhood, [...]
One of life's charming little paradoxes, change is about the only constant any of us can expect. It's really up to us what we make of it. Or, to put it another way (and to borrow a phrase from the esteemed life-coaching of Ted Nugent), "You're born at Point A, you die at Point B…........kick maximum ass." When beloved "Montoronto" trio Sister Suvi announced they would be parting ways last year, guitarist/bassist/vocalist Patrick Gregoire did just that. Distilling the startling array of sounds, moods, and influences that defined Suvi and Islands (another of his former [...]
Nick Diamond (aka Nick Thornburn) has been relatively silent the last several months, but who can blame the guy. Between 2008 and 2009, Diamond fronted three distinctive outfits ( Islands , Reefer, Human Highway), subsequently releasing four albums. After conquering a wide-array of musical expression, the Canadian native decided to create his own genre with Man Man's Ryan Kattner earlier this year. Officially ending his hibernation, Diamond will be hitting the road this summer as Islands. Sponsored by Filter Magazine, the band will be combining forces with Brooklyn new wavers Steel Phantoms and Los [...]

With much of the evening's "star power" focused just down the road at the Bell House's Haiti benefit show, Wednesday's wonderful bill at Union Hall nearly went under the radar... nearly . But courtesy of an inspiredly cohesive lineup and an exclamation point of a headlining set by Wild Yaks , all our focus was front and center. Ball of Flame Shoot Fire kicked things off, blending and swapping time changes, genres, instruments, and vocalists to maximize the same sense of crazed disorientation that accompanies hearty doses of Frog Eyes [...]

Band: Steel Phantoms From: Brooklyn, NY Sound: Dual vocals bring spirited pop, stripped down new wave, and galloping rock into the two-thousand-and-tens Similar Artists: The Modern Lovers, Wolf Parade, Apollo Ghosts, Leonard Bernstein Listen: "The Bleeds" New Year's resolution: let's get back into what started us spending too much time wrapped up in music in the first place.

Like we said last time , in a world gone Twitter sometimes it's best to just streamline the message. Our message is this: we get lots of submissions from various artists, labels, and PR folk, and it's honestly impossible to stay on top of it all. There's a ton of good music out there, and the following five bands are just some of the latest to jump out from our inbox; now, we pass them on to you in the simplest format we know: 5 + 5 = 10. TL;DR ? Not today, friends... [...]
