When we last heard from Derek Janzen , he was creating kick drum heavy anthems disguised as bedroom compositions. His billowy guitars and dime stores synths invited you in, but the programmed beats inspired marching and purpose. I favorably compared his output to Cyrus' monumental call to action (one of the few posts I'm proud to have penned after a second read), and he's still trying to inspire a movement. Unfortunately, Derek released his songs under the cryptic (and impossible to Google) moniker, First Nations. After realizing booking shows with [...]

Craig Wedren is a man that wears many hats. Along with fronting the massively influential DC band Shudder To Think, composing for shows like MTV's much loved 90s show The State, Reno 911!, Stella, The Whitest Kids You Know, and Wet Hot American Summer, the musician also currently scores the TV show Hung on HBO. Who would think he would even have time to eat or sleep? But apparently he does... and then some. Wedren has just released his newest solo album, Wand , out now. He has also accompanied the album with [...]
Wooden Wand (a.k.a. the prolific James Jackson Toth) will release his next album on November 22. Briarwood (Communicating Vessels) is the product of Toth's latest musical venture: working with the Briarwood Virgins, a group out of Birmingham, Ala. The band members are Toth's best friend Brian Lowery and musicians from Gum Creek Killers and Through [...]

Art by Lexington's Robert Beatty! Not long ago I shared a demo of Wooden Wand's "The DNR Waltz" when he was raising money via Kickstarter. Now the album's done and figured I'd give you a listen to what the song sounds like in its finished version. MP3: Wooden Wand - The DNR Waltz It might [...]
photo by leah hutchison toth james jackson toth is wooden wand, and vice versa, i suppose. his 2010 release, death seat, clocked in at number 17 on my top 20 from said year. at the time, or at least pertaining to that release, i believe i likened him to a southern preacher passing judgment on all of us. it seemed as if hell fire were right behind him, and if we didnt fall in line, all of us were going to be subjected to eternal damnation. things have changed... his latest release, briarwood - [...]

Acclaimed singer-songwriter and film music composer Craig Wedren is a true renaissance man of music, having achieved success in a wide variety of musical styles and avenues. From 1986 to 1998 he fronted the genre-straddling Washington D.C. indie rock/post-hardcore band Shudder to Think, whose 1994 album Pony Express Record received widespread critical acclaim despite being the band's first release after finally signing to a major record label. "Wand" is a clear synthesis of all of Wedren's varied musical journeys and experiences up to this point. Get a preview of his album in the player below, it was [...]
Most of you may know that Craig Wedren was the lead singer of Shudder to Think, one of the seminal punk bands of the '80s and '90s. What you might not know is that he has also composed the theme songs and incidental music to countless TV shows and movies, including Reno 911 , The State , Wet Hot American Summer , Role Models …basically everything David Wain has touched. So, it makes sense that his new solo album, WAND , is basically the soundtrack to an accompanying movie of the same name [...]

James Jackson Toth, aka Wooden Wand, hooked up with Duquette Johnston (ex-Verbena) and his band the Gum Creek Killers in Birmingham to record his new album, 'Briarwood'. He also added best friend Brian Lowery and Jody Nelson to the line-up and the Briarwood Virgins were born. Here's a track from the album, which is due in November on Fire Records.

As anyone with more than a passing acquaintance with this blog will know, we are huge fans of James Jackson Toth, aka Wooden Wand . That is why we were immediate contributors to his recent Kickstarter project to fund latest album Briarwood , recorded with the Briarwood Virgins . While the album is not getting its official release until 7th November (via the wonderful Fire Records ), but we have had a chance to get an advance copy digitally and are happy to report that this is up there with the very best of [...]
Its always a good day when there's a Wooden Wand update on the horizon and this one is a fairly fully plate. JJT's Kickstarter campaign to bring the Wooden Wand and the Briarwood Virgins LP to fruition was a rousing success and on first listens the new LP is everything that was promised and more. The most rock oriented Wand release since Second Attention graced our speakers, Briarwood delves even further into whiskey odes and road worn tales than Toth has in the past. The album feels rooted in the 70's crossover of country and rock [...]
