Waters do not seem have anything to do with Roger Waters, or even John Waters. But if they have, they hide it very well - with both prog noodling and movies with poop-eating transvestites being conspicuous by their absence in Waters' hittish, trash-garage pop song For The One . Of all the hyperbolic adjectives bandied around on ANBAD like confetti at an earthquake-stricken wedding, "crunchy" is surely my most lazily over-used. What music today, in the midst of a laptop compression free-for-all, isn't crunchy? But For The [...]
Many purveyors of American indie music will remember the name Port O'Brien . The band - the duo of Van Pierszalowski and Cambria Goodwin, plus a number of part-time musicians - were named after a bay in Alaska where front-man and songwriter, Van Pierszalowski's, parents met. They released their debut album All We Could Do Was Sing back in 2007 to a host of rave reviews and the record won many fans both in American and over here in the UK thanks to it's ramshackle, early-Arcade Fire style sing-a-longs. A number of the [...]

Shisd // "Bay Wash" So I'm back from vacation. It was a pretty rad week with my family, but now it's "back to the real world" or so they say. The thought of going from lazy days on the beach to getting up at 5:45 am again is a bit depressing to say the least. So I've found myself at the point where I no longer wish to cling to the last fraying bits of summer and I'm all gung-ho for the colder weather. It was at this point of mental transition where this [...]
You may or may not already know WATERS , the new project from former Port O'Brien front man Van Pierszalowski , but after listening to new track ' O Holy Break Of Day ', you'll surely not forget them in a hurry. Having already wooed the blogging masses with ' For The One ', this new track sets up the eagerly awaited LP ' Out In The Light ', which was recorded in a ten day period out in Dallas, Texas, and is released through City Slang next month.

We've long been fans of Port O'Brien, and despite its always fluid lineup, that band was unquestionably always centered around the songwriting of frontman Van Pierszalowski. Given that, when we discovered that Port O'Brien had called it a day, and Pierszalowski was starting fresh, we were more than a little curious what that might entail. The answer has now been revealed, in the form of a band called WATERS . While WATERS is still rooted firmly in the vocals and songwriting that made Port O'Brien [...]
Port 'o' Brien was brilliant and when they faded in to the surf a whole nugget of people cried a silent tear. Have no fear though, Port 'o' Brien singer Van Pierszalowski has travelled the world and from his experiences has culled together this little bit of rock 'n' roll heaven. Go check out WATERS with Mister [...]

This episode is sponsored by BottleRockIt . Mixtape: The Ones That Got Away (Podcast #255) Our recent Regional Bias fundraiser concert featured the final local performance by Royal Baths before the band relocates to the East Coast, a fact that got us thinking about the many active artists who have left the Bay Area for other pastures in recent years. As an organization founded to champion local music, we focus on bands while they live here, but there's always a lingering feeling that great bands that [...]

Van Pierszalowski's latest project is entitled WATERS . The former Port O'Brien frontman took some much deserved time off last year, spending parts of it in Norway, California, and New York, before recording Out in the Waters back in Norway. In June, we featured the first release, For the One ; an anthem that is marked by fuzzy guitars and bombastic percussion. The latest single from WATERS is O Holy Break of Day , which is reminiscent of Neil Young 's work with Crazy Horse . [...]

WATERS - "O Holy Break Of Day" Following the dissolution of beloved SF rock band Port O'Brien last year, Van Pierszalowski moved to Oslo, Norway, before spending time visiting Alaska, California, and New York. All of that traveling helped inspire him to write a batch of songs for a new project Pierszalowski is calling WATERS . WATERS - "For the One" As you can hear in the songs above, there's a more decidedly rock and roll vibe to WATERS than Port O'Brien had. [...]
Van Pierszalowski of Port O'Brien fame is now trading under the name WATERS , and we couldn't be any happier with the results. Starting off as a gritty Americana inspired track, it soon transforms itself into Chad VanGaalen romp fest, full of distorted chords. If 'O Holy Break Of Day' is any indication of what to expect on his debut record, then we could be onto something pretty special. WATERS' debut, Out In The Light , is out September 20th.
