I don't think I need to tell you in excruciating detail how The Joy Formidable 's career has jumped by leaps and bounds in the months following Dave Grohl's emphatic pronouncement in summer 2011 that the Welsh group was his favourite new band, saying to MTV's Matt Pinfield, "they're a killer live band with great songs". It would be far too easy to say that their success could be attributed to Grohl's taking of the band out of the road with Foo Fighters, which of course exposed them to new audiences far [...]

There are some songs by Boston's You Won't that should be too big for two people to pull off. Yet they pull them off anyway. And then there are songs like their cover of Tall Dwarfs' track "All My Hollowness To You" that show how precise and expressive the duo can be using the barest of tools. To the tune of just a marching guitar riff and sparse drums for accent, singer Josh Arnoudse's fuzzy vocal belts those romantic lines, "I want to screw you/ I wish I could get through to you/ There's nothing more that I want [...]
![LUCIUS PLAYED THE KNITTING FACTORY [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4887234_lg.jpg)
Photos by Ashley Maas Lucius hit the stage at Knitting Factory last Friday night for what had to be one of the best shows we've covered this year. Though I've seen the band countless times, they never cease to amaze with perfect harmonies, cheerful banter, and top notch musicianship. While each song was a highlight, their final encore was what really sticks in my memory - the band stepped out into the crowd and played a full-acoustic number from the middle of the sold out venue.

There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town, It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns. Everybody dancin'. C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands. Sun went down in honey and the moon came up in wine, You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord The band kept us so busy we forgot about the time. - The Music Never Stopped (Barlow/Weir) For four days the 27th annual SXSW Music Festival was the equivalent of my own living jukebox. A cacophony of sounds emanated from [...]

Escucha: You Won't - "All My Hollowness to You" (Tall Dwarfs Cover) Cuando se trata de un cover, algunas veces creemos que es mejor que la original. Percepciones y gustos diferentes. Por ejemplo, del más reciente cover que hace la banda indie-folk de Boston You Won't de " All My Hollowness " -originalmente incluida en el disco Hello Cruel World de 1988- del grupo indie rock neozelandés Tall Dwarfs , podemos decir que es maravilloso. No creo que la original sea mejor que [...]

Boston indie-folk outfit You Won't have a way of harnessing a very intense and raw kind of energy, giving many of their songs, such as those on their debut album Skeptic Goodbye , a real sense of urgency and purpose. So, when the two-piece cover "All My Hollowness To You" — a track originally released by New Zealand rockers Tall Dwarfs via their 1998 record Hello Cruel World , and whose lyrics are very cutting and direct — naturally all hell breaks loose. Lines such as "I want to [...]

You've been asking us if we'll be down in Austin, Texas for SXSW this year. Well, the answer is "hell yes we'll be in Austin!"

Having worked on putting together this party for the last months, we are extremely proud to share the lineup and invite you to this year's The Beehive down at SXSW, a party made possible by KOHLER and their new [...]

Folk pop duo You Won't apply old school folk vocally driven melodies and harmonies with new diverse instrumental tactics. Bass heavy rhythmic drums, various percussion, and mixing clear acoustics and noisy electricity make for a unique blend of sounds for this genre. You Won't topped our New England open submission with two other bands. -Lucy Sherman Normal 0 [...]

The results are in from the Open Submissions stage for our New England Year End Poll for Emerging Artists. All of the submissions were ranked by Deli Editors from other scenes and the list of acts that have advanced to our Readers'/Fans' Poll phase are below. We will also be releasing the list of nominees chosen by our local "scene expert" jurors very soon. We would like to thank all of the talented artists who submitted. It was our largest Open Submissions pool yet, and certainly a testament to how many rad acts we have [...]
Like yesterdays ‘ 5 Favourite EPs Of 2012 ’ list, my favourite albums list can be viewed in full over on HI54LOFI.COM (where you can read some thoughts and listen to some tracks).

GRAPHIC BY TERRA SCHNEIDER Happy New Year, folks! For January's mixtape theme, I chose motion. Even though the new year is an arbitrary date and resolutions are hard to stick to and America is a hungover mess today and yadda yadda yadda, I still get really amped about the fresh start, and I'm sure I'm not alone. This playlist is meant to get your blood pumping and infuse your brain with happy vibes. Think of it as waking up on the right side of the bed, like, 31 times in a row. Of special note, "Rooftop", [...]

There is something very exciting about watching a band grow and seeing others discover them. While a very small part of me wishes that Pearl and the Beard could remain my little secret, the sold-out, joyful show at The Bell House proved to me that they are on the verge of something huge. Brian mentioned a few weeks ago, after we had just seen them open for Ani DiFranco at Town Hall, how much has changed since the first time we saw them . My heart swelled with pride for these guys at the Ani show, when [...]
• Facebook • Twitter • Delicious • Email • RSS What a terribly harrowing task it is to make a best of the year list, and really who the hell am I to deem what gets included and what stays on the spreadsheet? Well, I'm a guy with a blog so I guess that's who I am. I thought at first I would have a difficult time gathering 50 albums, quickly I realized that was not the case - there were [...]
