Photo by David Greer Atlanta-based Adair Park Recordings , an offshoot of Stickfigure Recordings , has announced that they will be releasing the next full-length from psychedelic folk rockers Damon Moon and the Whispering Drifters , due out in 2012. The announcement, delivered earlier this afternoon, hints at what could become a promising year for the fledgling label with psych-pop trio Wowser Bowser scheduled to drop their debut LP in January. No additional details were provided on the release, but we can only hope that Moon's sophomore effort will contain more [...]
Growing out of metal and into punk, Heartsounds has improved a lot since their debut, figuring out the basics and progressing naturally into the genre. Rock music is the source of so many offshoots that it's often easy to forget how closely linked certain genres and subgenres are at the core. Only after sampling an extremely vast set of different rock-inspired styles does it become easier to recognize the similarities that exist among punk, alternative, metal, indie, and hardcore. These similarities are the reason why bands like Heartsounds exist. The punk-rock quartet was born out of the ashes of [...]
If Screamadelica-era Primal Scream had happened upon Cults' Madeline Follin two decades ago (may seem somewhat implausible, although she did reportedly sign her first recording contract only slightly later at the tender age of nine), kept Andrew Weatherall onboard, and roped in another contemporary prodigy on production duties in the form of our fave Finn, Drifter , there's a whiff of a possibility that the result would come out sounding something like Illuminations, the first track to be lifted from a forthcoming EP entitled Making Waves, by London-based trio Sunless '97 .

Just because the Flaming Lips have about two dozen projects going on right now, that hasn't stopped Lips multi-instrumentalist Stephen Drozd from teaming up with Al Novey (I've never heard of him either) to record this Neil Diamond-influenced track. I think the Youtube description says it best: "When an illustrious rock star and a golden-throated [...]
Dear Heartsounds , My name is Bobby but my Ripple Effect readers call me "Cicatriz". I am writing this letter to let you know how super fucking stoked I am on your new album Drifter . It is an amazing sophomore album. Who new that members of my former favorite melodic death-metallers Light This City could pull off pop punk so well. I remember those days of seeing Laura Nihol just straight ripping it up on stage as one of the best female singers in the metal scene. Normally this is where [...]

Yep that Steven Drozd. Yep the one from the Flaming Lips. And that's Al Novey (The Tallest Man in Oklahoma City) doing a dynamite Neil Diamond. What's the deal with this? Well, this just about says it all: When an illustrious rock star and a golden-throated karaoke phenom are brought together by an insatiable love for Neil Diamond, the result is "You in Me." It's a collaboration so heartfelt, an homage so genuine, and a tribute to love in all it's forms. The video was shot by Delo Creative [...]
