CALM's initial intention and continuing campaign has been to help fight the high suicide rate of men under the age of 35 in the UK. While the campaign, Web site, magazine and online community targets men in this age group, the support [...]

The holidays are all about giving, right? Tellison (pictured above) and the Cubical have both recorded Christmas singles, with all the proceeds going towards funding CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), which was set up to reduce the high suicide rate amongst men under 35, currently the single biggest killer of young men in the UK. Started originally in Merseyside, they opened up a London helpline in November to accompany their already established presence in the North. The Cubical's 'The Golden Rule' costs a mere [...]

Kind of an awkward second night at the 2011 Austin City Limits Music last night. The worst part: It could've been great. Alas, in the end, not so much. But, sure enough, it started pretty well...

The artist-centric New York City may have been spared the brunt of Hurricane Irene's destruction, but the storm did seem to wreak havoc on weekend plans. A definite benefit: musicians cooped up in their digs, pondering the approaching apocalypse, hopefully making some music, right? That was certainly the case with Ryan Daniels AKA Double Entendre , who emailed me this morning about the existence of a new EP, born as Daniels sought shelter from the storm. "The Calm" and "Rain Shields," in particular, may well be Daniels' best work to date. The former is an [...]

I love it when I look back at something I wrote and I A: don't cringe. B: don't wonder the hell I'm prattling on about. C: realize I was spot on (triple fist-pump ).

After which I was sweating it a [...]

The guys took some time off but have actually been back together playing live for awhile now, and they recently joined forces with one of our favorite new independent labels, Modern Outsider . If you have kept up with ENS or my time with WOXY.com you know I'm a big Calm Blue Sea fan. I found out about them a few months before SXSW 2009 and made a point to book them [...]
