Sweet Tea Vodka is something that can be done well or poorly. It depends not only on the type of alcohol that is used (grain or actual vodka) but the tea base that is adopted. James River Plantation Sweet Tea Vodka is one of the few alcohol-infused sweet teas that are currently on the market [...]
Boho Fau & Elevated Soul - Sweet Tea Boho Fau & Elevated Soul - Espresso This... Yeah, this is nice. Real nice . Boho Fau and Elevated Soul return with a follow up to their incredible Coffee House Swinger . The beats are amazing, could stand along as instrumentals easily (thankfully they've released a few on this album) but then you'd miss out on the vocals provided by Boho Fau. It's just so smooth and chilled, I love it, jazz and hip [...]

How about that post yesterday, eh? Pretty epic! Yeah . Well, today's post serves as the perfect denouement to yesterday's climatic & dramatic filled musicfest as we got a pretty bad ass yet chill holiday-inspired mixtape from Society member Nobleybones to share with you. Now personally, I got to admit. I don't like xmas music, but I feel the need to qualify & explain. I'm not talking about the music on today's mixtape, I'm talking about the crap they play at [...]
I like surprise. Presents when I come home. Finding twenty dollars in the pocket of a unworn coat. You know, the little things. Thus, when word that Alex Maas, the drone-y yaller from The Black Angels, and Erika Wennerstrom, the throaty holler of Heartless Bastards, were putting together a few tracks, I was nicely surprised. The [...]
Should be a homecoming atmosphere tonight at Spaceland, where Division Day plays its first local show since the release last month of "Visitation," the L.A. quartet's superb sophomore album . Dangerbird Records labelmates Bad Veins , along with Lovelikefire , are also on the bill. ... Nine Inch Nails (supported by Mew and Queen Kwong ) play the Palladium in the first of four L.A. shows that will put an exclamation point on their career. ... Heartless Bastards [download below] have had a busy summer, supporting the likes [...]
The 73, or the EP for that matter, often excels in its brevity. In and out. Sweet Tea, the Austin, TX collaboration between the Black Angels Alex Maas and Heartless Bastards Erika Wennerstrom, know this. Culled from the limited edition, white vinyl 73, the following two tracks, both covers, sound like country & western if [...]

Frank Yang I definitely enjoyed the Decemberists' latest, The Hazards Of Love , more than I'd expected. It moves briskly, the more overindulgent sections don't overstay their welcome and nestled within the whole thing are a handful of standout songs that would have fit nicely on a (less proggy, less long-form) conventional album. And the vocal performances from Shara Worden and Rebecca Stark , both in backing and as soloists, remind how good Colin Meloy sounds when there's a female foil for his vocals. And perhaps most [...]
Frank Yang It was a bit embarrassing running not one but two contests around The Decemberists' latest opus The Hazards Of Love without actually having heard the record, so a couple of weeks ago I went out and actually got myself a copy of the dang thing. I count myself a long-time fan of the band but haven't been that taken with Colin Meloy's more proggish, long-form compositions and Hazards seemed to be the grand culmination of those inclinations and honestly, I was [...]
While Sweet Tea might be the name on the label, this band is really a side project from up-and-comers Heartless Bastards, with some help from the Black Angels' Alex Maas. Taking on classic country with a modern-rock pedigree, Sweet Tea is, like its namesake, perfect for the July heat. The delicate duet between Maas and [...]

by charles poladian I hope the July Fourth weekend treated you right. The weather was gorgeous and everyone was in the best of moods. There is nothing to complain about there. As the summer rolls on, so does the Reel. Plenty of good things up ahead but there is one thing that concerns me. That thing happens to be fall dates for shows and albums. To think the fall is starting to fill up with some great shows, it seems like summer [...]

They are also scheduled to appear at several festivals, including the Philadelphia Folk Festival on August 15 and San Francisco's Outside [...]

The Dayton, Ohio band are traveling all around the US, including a few festival dates. These guys are one of my favorite true "rock bands" making music today. If you don't know 'em, check out the track below, "The Mountain". If you're from LA and enjoy our friends Haim, you'll love these guys (and girl). I also have a cover of Tim Tim Hardin's "If I Were A Carpenter", made famous by June Carter and Johnny Cash. The cover is under the alias Sweet Tea, which is some sort of side project. Buy their latest album, The Mountain [...]
