Myspace I don't really participate in Twitter memes, but if I were to ride the one currently trending for #why90srocked , one of my contributions might be Boston's Buffalo Tom . One of my favourite bands of that decade, their Let Me Come Over and Big Red Letter Day were two of the gateways that led me to the world of college rock (what the kids now mostly call indie) - jangly guitars, raspy vocals, big hooks all around, what's not to like?

It seems like the Dears are one of the most under appreciated bands in Canada, and we're always hoping that they'll make a huge breakthrough Stateside. Their latest effort, Degeneration Street will be hitting the streets on February 15th via Dangerbird Records , and everything we've heard so far has us once again delighted about the possibilities from their forthcoming album. It's not even fair to compare these guys to anyone, as they never cease to reinvent themselves, for better, time and time [...]
Image taken from The Riot Act . Soon it will be summer, which means music gig, music gig, festivals galore and side gigs. And for some reason both The National and Sufjan Stevens are performing in the same season in the same year... again. Last time I missed The National. Now that I've seen The National in New York (AND CRIED, THEY WERE SO GOOD) I could probably miss them. But this time Owen Pallett is also playing. And Menomena (which of course, I already have tickets for). And Blonde Redhead. Where were half these people [...]
The Dears announced today their next release will be called Degeneration Street . Word has it that DS is along the same form as previous records like No Cities Left and Gang of Losers , full of yummy Brit-pop. One of the first singles to be released is "Omega Dog." The video below is from a recent show in Mexico City. Degeneration Street is out 2/15 on Dangerbird Records. Subscribe in a reader
Los chavos de The Dears sacarán un nuevo album Degeneration Street el próximo Febrero y la primer probada de este se llama "Omega Dog" una rola con mucha alma. El video de esta rola fue grabado en el Pasagüero durante una residencia de la banda en la ciudad. Acá la pueden checar: ♩ The Dears - Omega Dog
Sometimes I really do believe the world does not deserve a band that is so grossly talented. The melodic genius that is Murray Lightburn and his cohorts that make up the fine musical ensemble called The Dears are at times light years ahead of their contemporaries while at others simply running laps around them as if to show mercy on those unfortunate also-rans. Ever since the first time my ears perked up at their wonderful tones, it's been a mystery to me as to why they could not find greater success here in the States. For a band that's got [...]
La 4AD una delle etichette a cui siamo più affezzionati torna con due dischi che sono pronti a riscaldare il nostro novembre. E' già uscito il disco dei B roken Records "Let Me Come Over" che offre paesaggi di rock malinconico pronti a specchiari nei migliori The Dears e Arcade Fire. Annunciato per il 16 novembre invece "Forget" dei Twin Shadow . Si tratta di un progetto musicale di George Lewis Jr. che rimanda ad un immaginario new wave (si la prima 4AD!). Per noi gli undici pezzi di questo lavorano entrano [...]

Mia Kirby I somehow managed to see Los Angeles' Warpaint no less than four times this year before hearing their debut album The Fool , so you could say that their live shows have coloured my impressions of their music just a touch. And that's a good thing because as a cursory scan of past write-ups will attest, I find their performances to be swirling, mesmerising affairs anchored by the pulsing, organic rhythm section and lifted by the airy vocals and shimmering [...]
The Dears From: Montreal, Quebec, CA The Dears are back to claim their rightful place as the kings of indie rock with their new album, Degeneration Street .

Acclaimed Montreal rock band The Dears are proud to announce the release of their new album, DEGENERATION STREET. A welcome return to form and for fans of the operatic hysteria of past albums, NO CITIES LEFT and GANG OF LOSERS, DEGENERATION STREET finds Murray Lightburn, Natalia Yanchak, Patrick Krief, Robert Benvie, Roberto Arquilla and Jeff Luciani creating a sweeping collection of orchestral pop / rock that is at once enlightening, angst-ridden and mesmerizing. Set for a February 15th release on Dangerbird Records, the praised grandiosity and cathartic signature sound of The Dears was captured and produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, [...]

[Listen/Download] – Two New Songs By The Dears – "Blood" & "Omega Dog"
A long ways away from the sound that initially drew me into them (their second album "No Cities Left" , both of these new songs by The Dears step away from the Damon Albarn and The National comparisons, and both manage to sound nothing like the either. "Omega Dog" is brimful of electronic-indie-soul with a 16002s harpsichord feel at the end, whilst "Blood" takes the harpsichord and switches the sound up to a grunge/modern rock combo, making me feel like I should be rocking along to it on Guitar Hero. Both songs have been around [...]

The Dears detail new album, Degeneration Street
A quick update on some news we first brought you back in July: The Dears' upcoming album, the newly-titled Degeneration Street , will hits stores February 15th, 2011, but not before they play the album in full on a two-night residency in Brooklyn, NY this November. The album, produced by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, Belle and Sebastian), will feature the music the band is primarily known for, from the soulful sounds of some baroque pop to even some straight up primal screaming. The New York shows are the end of an entire residency [...]
Degeneration Street
On Missiles , The Dears found themselves stripped down to the bare essential. That included leaving behind all but core bandmates/bedmates Murray Lightburn and Natalia Yanchak to pen the entire record themselves. It resulted in a lot of lonely sounding anthems, a sound that came through even with the band touring. Loneliness can get a little...well, lonely, after a while, which might explain the much larger group-dynamic they took when creating their upcoming Degeneration Street LP. In the press release, the album "finds Murray Lightburn, Natalia Yanchak, [guitarist] Patrick Krief, [guitarist] Robert Benvie, [bassist] [...]

Montreal indie stalwarts The Dears have revealed the details of their new studio album. Degeneration Street (sounds like a Cure record doesn't it?), will be available February 15th. In the meantime, the group has already released the first single from the album "Omega Dog". Let's hope this album is a little more gripping than the last.
