The Weeknd , aka Abel Tesfaye, might be the most important artist to emerge in 2011. When I first heard "High for This" and "Morning" off his debut mixtape House of Balloons back in March, I was hooked on the blown out beats, late-night falsetto and over-the-top lyrics. He followed that up with a second installation, Thursday , which, as a whole, didn't quite reach the bar set by House of Balloons, but tracks like "The Birds Part 13 and "The Zone" still became favorites. Two months later, he popped up again as a major influence on [...]
An early Christmas present today from everyones' favourite Canuck, The Weeknd, who returns with another dose of his modern twist of R&B with latest release Echoes Of Silence. Ready-made details that will help me pad out this post seem to be thin on the ground, but I'm guessing if you've been a fan of previous Weeknd releases House Of Balloons and Thursday , you're probably just looking for the download link. So here it is... you can download [...]
DOWNLOAD: The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence Completing the trilogy, The Weeknd finally delivers the final chapter in Echoes of Silence . An adventurous listen from top to bottom, the sound of the mixtape aligns more with House Of Balloons in my opinion, while still maintaining an independent sound. All nine tracks sound incredible with early nods to 'D.D', 'XO / The Host' and 'The Fall'. Full stream and download below. - @SpcPck [...]

Photo by Eric Ashleigh For this month's Key Studio Video Session, we profiled mewithoutYou , the Upper Darby-bred experimental five-piece that bridges the divide between raw, introspective punk rock and lush, Neutral Milk Hotel-esque indie symphonies. This year, they celebrated ten years as a band, and in the spring they plan to release their as-yet untitled fifth album, recorded over the summer with Daniel Smith of Danielson - it's their first since 20092s It's All Crazy! It's All False! It's All A Dream! It's Allright . In our session, the bandmates reflect [...]

But don't think that the night is over there - you can catch Geoff Rickly spinning records with Make Out Club's main DJ, John D @ The M Room in Fishtown. Want more info? hit up the after party's Facebook event to be in the know.

As we approach the end of yet another year, we find ourselves looking back -- not just at the good (of which next week we'll be discussing plenty of, with the publication of the Thrash Hits Albums Of The Year lists), but the bad. Over the past twelve months, some of our favourite bands decided [...]
This year I delved through nearly every album I listened to in 2011 to pick out my personal cream of the crop. This is probably my most comprehensive list of "best of" songs I've done for BWC thus far...Hope you guys enjoy. The top albums of the year should follow shortly! If there are any mislabeled, mis-tagged links, let me know and I'll get it fixed. I wouldn't be surprised if I muddled through a few misclicks or something trying to copy and paste everything over Tim Kasher // [...]

Definitely starts off strange, but I know I'm not alone when I say I'm glad there's finally some visuals to his great music. Filed under: Music , New Independent Artists , R&B Tagged: house of balloons , ovoxo , the knowing , the weeknd , thursday , xo
Quest'estate nel paesino dove abitano i miei genitori sono passati a suonare un tot di gruppi, alcuni addirittura piacevano pure a me, rinomato cagacazzo musicale. Sono venuti gli Strung Out, i Bane, gli Unearth e agli Evergreen Terrace. Proprio con il chitarrista di questi mi sono fermato a parlare mentre davo una mano al baracchino del catering - all'aperto e alla mercé delle zanzare vallive, razza più cattiva e testarda delle più comuni spaccamaroni estive – per un paio di ore del più e del meno ma soprattutto di gruppi dei bei tempi che furono, per me che li ho [...]
Recommended Show: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2011 THURSDAY @ IRVING PLAZA 17 Irving Plaza New York, NY 10003 $19.50, 6:30PM It's been about ten years since I first saw Thursday at a small club upstate in Syracuse, NY. Though the show was fantastic, I never expected the band to be playing stages as large as Irving Plaza. Mary J. Blige @ Terminal 5 Jason Mraz @ Carnegie Hall The Knux @ Knitting Factory Allen Toussaint @ Joe's Pub Lushes [...]
I wasn't going to make comment on the news initially, but since Thursday followed Thrice's announcement of indefinite hiatus with their own today, I thought this was too big of news to go silent. In this age where "indefinite hiatus" has become the standard P.C. term for break-up it's hard to tell if we'll ever really see either of these bands back in action, but their footprint on today's modern movement of alternative/rock/emo/ whatever you want to call it is unquestionably immeasurable. I've watched the public gratitude pour out over the [...]
Always sad to see a good band go. Especially ones that I got into whilst in college. Thursday was a New Jersey band and from New Brunswick, NJ no less. It almost seemed like they were one of those bands that Rutgers University unofficially adopted as their own. But their time has come to an end and the band posted this message on their website. We've been a band for thirteen years. We've played an uncountable number of shows, ranging from living rooms to stadiums. We've talked to every Zine, blog, [...]
Veteran New Brunswick rock group, Thursday have called it a day.
Geoff Rickly & Co. hit NYC this week. Win a pair of tickets!
![[Listen] Thursday: "No Answers" (Big Black Delta Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3871817_lg.jpg)
Este año Thursday lanzo su mas reciente album de estudio " No Devolución " y a mi parecer, esto es lo mejor que han hecho en años y me atreveria a decir que este es su mejor album peeero, esto podria generar una cierta polemica entre sus fans y, bueno, muchas veces los fans de las bandas tambien tienden a exagerar un poco...un chingo. Como sea, uno de los mejores tracks de este material es " No Answers " desde su melodia inicial hasta el crecimiento que va teniendo conforme va avanzando y es justamente este track del [...]
