Portland by way of Boise trio System and Station returned a little while back with their newest full length, A Series of Screws . It all opens with "Pain Pills," a shadowy acoustic number with a seesawing rhythm and tinted vocals that sometimes remind of Perry Farrell. Electric guitar sparks start to fly by the time second track, "Pardon Me", rolls around with crunchy fire brimmed notes that swirl and cultivate a powder keg atmosphere. Throughout there is a sense of immediacy with the music owing much to the abundant attention holding melodies. It rocks [...]

Yeah I know, it was released about a month and a half ago but I'm just now finding some time to get caught up on much of what's been sent our way. System and Station's new release, I'm Here To Kill, is the band's latest body of work in their now 10-year tradition of crafting melodic and edgy indie-pop and not sacrificing what has worked for them in the past. The good of the album: the guitar hooks are as no-frills as ever, the lyrics are emotionally adventurous and the band sounds more refined than ever. The bad: it's only [...]
Portland, Ore.'s System And Station has been touring relentlessly for a decade and has shared bills with Sunny Day Real Estate, Built To Spill, Alex Chilton and the Meat Puppets. The band's latest release, I'm Here To Kill (Latest Flame), produced by Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, Sleater-Kinney, Stephen Malkmus), is a concept EP based around the [...]

I think pretty much everyone's heard of the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Rainbow-Wizard of Oz connection. One of my all-time favorite movies is the 1967 original version of Casino Royale . I guess if I ever get the urge to try music-movie synchronization, that movie and this music might just do the trick. Or maybe not. Slap On The Face • [...]
Thursday, October 8, 2009 Today's Quick Mention: So, what did you guys think of Pitchfork crowning Radiohead's Kid A as the #1 album of the last decade? Honestly, I've never been a big fan of that band (or juggernaut, if you will), but I'm willing to accept the pick since the Arcade Fire's Funeral was at least in the runner-up spot. Believe it or not, it's been a week since I've shared any new music. Did you miss me? Hope so. Enjoy. [...]

It`s the time of the week where sifting through the promotional emails is equivalent to putting the cat out. You never want that box to be on the verge of overflowing, it`s almost an environmental issue. I`d much rather post publicity supplied material than miss the opportunity to share some fantastic music. "I'm Here To Kill is System and Station's third EP (to go along with four full-lengths with a fifth is due in April 2010) and first to appear in the vinyl format (180gram). "System [...]
Since we capped off September with a bang , it's only appropriate we do the same to kick off the month of October. Boy, the year has flown by, eh? It's already time to start putting together new our year-end and decade-end lists , talk festival rumors, and maybe launch something pretty incredibly new and awesome. This and more will be coming in the month of October from your friends here at CoS. In the meantime, let's do that kick off with a band thingy with this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape... NEW Singles: [...]

For about three months System and Station has been haunting me. Every time I opened a copy of Under the Radar magazine I would see the ad (from their Latest Flame label) proclaiming their newest album A Nation of Actors as something worth listening to, specifically a critic's proclamation that "(the album) gets better each time through its 11-song track set, providing that the hooks are a mere introduction." Now I'm not one to automatically jump aboard any bandwagon and I'm more likely to approach the Next Big Thing very cautiously but [...]

System and Station , an indie progressive rock band from Portland, Oregon, have been knocking on the door marked "world wide fame" for ten years now. Main songwriter RFK Heise is the resident genius of the band. His lyricism is dark and peppered with sci-fi elements, an open invitation to endless discussions about what his songs are about. Their fourth full-length album A Nation of Actors will gain them wider recognition among the geeks, music nerds and other assorted "in-the-know" dudes. Their music with jangling guitars and Teutonic bass and drums is just [...]

I read an article last year about how Portland is an "Indie-Rock Mecca," where folks like Stephen Malkmus and Sleater Kinney members are like, next door neighbors! I remember wondering at the time just what it was about the Oregon trail that lends itself to rocking out. Listening to Portland-based System and Station [pictured] has renewed my interest in this phenomenon. Maybe there's something in
