Austin's Wiretree is releasing their 4th album , Get Up , on July 9. In the meantime, you can download the title track when you pre-order the LP. The folk meets power pop sound of the song contains an upbeat, optimistic message about love, forgiveness, and perseverance. The release of the single is accompanied by a vibrant and colorful animated/live action video made by Eric Power (who also made a video for a song for Wiretree's The Shore ). Don't forget to wish the band "Bon Voyage" later this week as [...]

Here is my list of the songs I liked best in 2011, which will be the last one we offer here. I only adhered to three rules with this list, really: 1. The song had to be officially released in 2011, 2. I could only select one song for any artist, and 3. The list [...]

Still, there are definitely releases we recommend, including new albums from Peter Wolf Crier, Gold Beach, Wiretree, Balmorehea, and many others. What can we say about Peter Wolf Crier that hasn't already [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe

Being an indie fan means loving indie music too its core. Being an indie fan means name-dropping musicians in conversations and being met with the dreaded awkward stare. Being an indie fan means exposing yourself to the melting pot of up-and coming artists just waiting to be discovered. I, Chris , the new Indie Sabbath , pledge to provide all of you indie fans with fresh, milky, brand spanking new indie music, as well as old favorites from behind the fridge, every week. I will be scouring the deepest corners of the Interwebs to bring you [...]
Wiretree is ready to release its third LP, Make Up , on September 6th. The Austin, Texas band was originally a solo recording project of singer-songwriter Kevin Peroni. Peroni added Joshua Kaplan, Rachel Peroni and Daniel Blanchard to record the second album, Luck , in 2009. A departure from their previous efforts, Make Up was recorded in the studio with very few overdubs with the goal of capturing natural raw performances. The music is powerful and vibrant, but still intact are the strong songwriting and melodies the band is known for. Listen to their new [...]
Austin’s Wiretree began as the solo recording project of singer-songwriter Kevin Peroni. After releasing the LP Bouldin in 2007, Peroni recruited Joshua Kaplan on guitar, Rachel Peroni on bass and Daniel Blanchard on drums to solidify the project. The group released their sophomore effort Luck in 2009, finding it’s way on various year-end best of lists (Blurt, Absolute Powerpop) while being labeled Blurt Magazine’s “Best Kept Secret.” KLRU featured the band on Austin City Limit’s “Satellite Sets” in January 2011. The band is currently supporting their 3rd full length album [...]
For most Americans, Fourth of July is an important day - it's the American holiday, and many people look to it as the official kick-off to the summer season (even though summer began on June 22). So, we set out to first pick keywords that exemplify the Fourth, including barbeques, picnics, parties, surfing, baseball, food, [...] Read more, get songs or stream the entire mix on Indie Rock Cafe
Yet another band from the musical mecca that Austin, Texas has become. Wiretree is a foursome led by frontman Kevin Peroni, and they make solid indie guitar rock reminiscent of The La's, The Sins or The Thermals. If that's not enough "The's" for ya, here's another: the first single from Wiretree's forthcoming nine-track LP Makeup, [...]
Over two albums and the past five years, Wiretree has grown from the solo project of Kevin Peroni into one of the emerging acolytes of power-pop in Austin. Behind Peroni's ranging and easy tenor, the quartet brings touches of the Pernice Brothers and New Pornographers, with a twinge of pedal steel twang and shades of both classic Eighties and contemporary indie pop. It's a melding of influences and sounds that seems to finally come together in Wiretree's latest effort, the band's third LP tentatively titled Make Up , and currently being recorded at Hot Tracks! for a release later [...]

So what happened in 2009? The economy went south, MdM posting was slacking, and the world turns gospel and hymn. I guess we have our Simon & Garfunkel moment. Animal Collective - My Girls Merriweather Post Pavilion ( Domino ) If you want to know why Animal collective is popular, then look no further than early american hymn. This is why so many people like them despite the strange blurry recording, while to others the sound simply doesn't compute. The danceable rhythm section is just added side attraction. If [...]
Wiretree - Back In Town Wiretree är ett amerikanskt band från Texas bestående av fyra. Deras första EP släpptes 2005, ett album kom 2007 och det andra albumet Luck släpptes i år och det är därifrån denna medryckande folkiga rocklåt är ifrån.
With sophomore album Luck, Wiretree has fused inventive indie-pop instrumentals with soulful, retro-rock vocals. "Satellite Song" is a composite of electro-'80s pop, Jeff Buckley folk and the poetic spirit of Simon & Garfunkel. The Austin, Texas, band's draw of contrasting influences has veered far away from the clutter of disjointed sounds that could so easily have [...]
On “Heart of Hearts” vocalist Kevin Peroni tells us that we “know how it’s gonna go.” Each track holds true to this promise, synthesizing decades of pop music into a predictable bricolage. Beautiful, catchy, and well executed but ultimately an appropriate pairing to the empty pop clichés Peroni offers lyrically. Reminds us of : long walks on the beach | the pedagogy of Mary Poppins | fortune cookies Wiretree : ( Official / Myspace ) [...]
