So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band, a show preview, or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we'll just round 'em all up for you. Most of these videos are of artists we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won't be telling you much about the bands themselves, just some musings that really aren't worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a trillion. Do it! Words by [...]

Since being laid off from my day job last year, my life has been almost strictly new chapters. Unemployment. Food Stamps. Booking shows at Columbia City Theater. Doing PR for Columbia City Theater. Trying to find a way to make money off Sound on the Sound while remaining true to our ideals and intentions (still [...]
The seventh year of Pygmalion Festival opened up with a bang, or more appropriately, an explosion, as Austin, TX-based four-piece Explosions in the Sky played their mind-blowing instrumental post-rock for the sold-out Canopy Club crowd. I became an instant fan of Explosions when their 2005 breakthrough album, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place reached my eardrums and have been listening ever since. I was able to catch the band at Lollapalooza in 2008, where they put on one of the best shows I've had the pleasure of watching. [...]

Last week we covered a new track from Portland folk outfit Death Songs called "Wounds" off the new PDX Pop Now! compilation. We talked a little bit about the band and the song, and had a few words to say about the organization as well. That wasn't enough; it's high time I let slip a little something - we here at FensePost have been quiet supporters of the Portland festival. Visit the music room in my house and you'll see several from the compilation [...]
As far as charity records go, there may be none more sonically giving than Live From Nowhere Near You: Vol. 2 . Organized to benefit Outside In , a Portland, OR-based non-profit that offers aid and counseling to homeless youth, the compilation features rare and unreleased tracks from Elliot Smith, Eddie Vedder, Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock, The Strokes, Ryan Adams, Bright Eyes, and a slew of other artists (check out the gargantuan tracklist below). Now, before everyone lays down their $15 for the three-disc collection, which you can do so here , the [...]

Click image to download full album Sounds like: The Kills, Best Coast, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Smashing Pumpkins "Viva Voce - The Future Will Destroy You" What's so good? The Future Will Destroy You is the sixth full-length from Portland-via-Alabama couple Kevin and Anita Robinson. According to Vanguard, the duo wrote, performed, produced, and mixed the entire thing. Tough to describe, this is a continued departure from their early sound; to say they're psych-rock or psych-folk is [...]
With their sixth album, The Future Will Destroy You, Viva Voce has created a haunting, mellow record that is sure to please their fans. From the lush, Smashing Pumpkin-esque rhythm guitar on "Analog Woodland Song," to the jangly strings and gentle "clack" of the rim shots on the road song "Cool Morning Sun," the album is consistently well put together. The years of experience primary band members Anita and Kevin Robinson have with both their gear and each other has obviously paid off. Founded in 1998 in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Viva Voce have been residents of Portland, Oregon [...]
