A very Happy Halloween from all of us to you! Between our "Trick or Treats" video series and Halloween To Do List , we've tried our very best to provide you with a few early treats leading up to the spookiest day of the year. But now that Halloween is finally upon, we figured we'd do something extra, especially since Ryan Adams tickets purchases and such limited our candy fund for this year. Below you'll find one last tasty treat, virtual style, with a collection of this week's best singles and remixes along with a [...]

![The Bellfuries [Feature Band]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1312778_lg.jpg)
Written by Fense Not too long ago-more specifically, earlier this year-I wrote that The Explorers Club release Freedom Wind could have been the record The Beach Boys released after Pet Sounds . While that statement is a bit of a stretch, as few titles can live up to the Pet Sounds name, all the press on The Bellfuries seem to dub Palmyra with a similar, Beach Boys-y label. I disagree. Freedom Wind is quite a bit more... well... [...]
The Bellfuries can only be described as modern day 50's Rock n' Roll. The pop power blend that is the Bellfuries along with descriptive lyrics fused together with soft, easygoing musiccreates this blast from the past style of music that takes you to another time. The rhythm of this band is similar to what [...]
Austin, TX ,The Bellfuries started out as three piece roots rock trio, and like many of their predecessors before them, began to feel stylistically confined by the limitations of the genre music they were playing. Branching out to a more melodic pop sound was their obvious next step. Reworking their songwriting style and band lineup seems to have done the trick. The end result is Palmyra , a dozen songs that follow closely in the power pop tradition of bands like NRBQ , Rockpile with Nick Lowe [...]

We get a ton of e-mails every week from people wanting us to check out their music. Naturally we can't get to them all, but that doesn't stop us from feeling bad about it. So we've decided to try and bring as many of these potentially wonderful songs to you as we can. Every week (as lazy as we are it will probably be every couple of weeks )we are going to clean out our inbox and provide all the mp3's that were made available to us, to you. If you hear something from a band you absolutely [...]
