Serious bad day yesterday, so no post. Was and still am very upset about something that happened and was said to me. I guess I deserved what I got. All I was trying to do was express my opinion. Sometimes wonder if this is all worth it or if anything is worth it. Sometimes wonder how I make it through each day. The post below took me a whole day (today) to do, I needed to keep my mind off things. Don't know what else to say. Here are new releases from Zero 7, Maps, Drummer, The Ettes [...]

Meth Teeth are based out of Portland and there sure doesn't seem to be a hell of a lot written about them. From what I've gathered they began as the one-man folk project of Mattey Hubele and Kyle Raquipiso later joined the band. So, a two man band I guess and they sure as hell can make quite a bit of noise. 2009 sees the band release their first full length Everything Went Wrong . There are only a few traces of folk here but what is evident throughout is some well executed lo-fi garage pop/rock. Touches of pop [...]

The title above is definitely appropriate for this post. As you may well know by now, from reading this blog, that I am a true Indie rock/pop guy. I love noise-pop, power-pop, psych-pop, garage rock, punk, lo-fi, the 80's, 90's indie rock/pop, 00's indie rock/pop etc. etc.. And, as always, I have been featuring/reviewing a lot of new Indie music in those sub-genres. However, last night, I had some spare time and decided to use it by exploring the vast world of Dance and Electronic music. I love all kinds of music (not a big fan of [...]

Following up on their 2007's S/T release (recorded by famed Steve Albini), The Love Story return for 2009 with Mink . TLS, in my opinion, are somewhat hard to nail down. Mainly classified as slow-core/mood-core, the NYC band throws in touches of Shoegaze to further complement their music. While Albini is no longer at the helm for Mink , the band has not lost his influence to their song-craft. The whole LP plays in thirty minutes and is full of mesmerizing guitar parts, sparse but effective drumming, all complemented by singer Molly Donahue's lush vocals. The [...]

Another decent week for new music releases. Here is part II for the week of 09-22-09. Two years after releasing their debut Fourteen Autumns And Fifteen Winters , Glasgow's The Twilight Sad release their new LP Forget The Night Ahead on the Fat Cat Label. Forget further expands the sound that the band developed on their debut release. The sound is large, expansive and loud. James Graham's Scottish accent is stronger yet on this new LP. The guitar noise, pounding drums underscoring hidden melodies is in full force here. Influences can be felt [...]

Sorry, once again about the brief delay in posting. As usual, the Black Dog bit me real bad and I was down for the count. I would have blogged some about it but want to just stick to the music. So, back to the music and let's hope that Black Dog stays away for a long while... San Diego's Castanets are appropriately labeled in a sub-genre called "freak folk". Their music has roots in folk, country, and experimental rock. The center-piece of the band is singer/songwriter Raymond Raposa. On their latest and sixth release Texas Rose, The [...]

This one has a lot of background behind it. From what I've gathered, frontman and founder Chris Larsen started the band as a way to reach out to his girlfriend (now band mate co-vocalist Melanie Glover) while she was abroad. Larsen created Buildings Breeding as a "fake" band which included its very own MySpace page. Essentially, a way for Larsen to keep in touch with Glover. Make believe or not, the "bands" music drew attention from Glover and many others. To take it even further on the absurd side, as a joke, Larsen sent his songs out to Mushpot Records [...]

Shit, when it comes to really writing about Robert Pollard, I won't bullshit you - I wouldn't/don't know where to start or even end. Pollard is literally a music making machine, producing/releasing albums at more than a startling pace. He has been responsible for some of the best indie rock of the past three decades, namely through Guided By Voices (which disbanded in 2004) and his other numerous projects (Acid Ranch, Airport 5, Circus Devils, and the Takeovers) plus his own solo work. He also created his own record label, where he has released his most recent work on. I [...]

Well, here is part II as promised. I pared it down from six to five. I am somewhat going "out on a limb" on this one because, quite frankly, I am not very up on these bands. But, when I weeded through the new releases list for this week, these intrigued me. As I said before, I don't have the funds to buy all these albums. So, don't expect to read below a long write-up review on them. And, in some cases, I had to rely on written reviews by others to get a better understanding of the music. This [...]

Wow, I was blown away when I started compiling a list of new music releases for this week (September 15th). Weeding through a master list, I found twelve that I thought were worthy of mentioning. Unfortunately, for me, I already blew my music expenses for this month and probably next month too. So, I can't afford to buy copies of these new LP's at this time. Sure, a lot of this stuff has probably "leaked" a long time ago and people have already been listening to it. But, I don't and never will subscribe to "leaked" music. It probably puts [...]

Well here we are, digging back hard at it. Finding new music everywhere. Great fun and great stuff! The first three featured here hail from my old "stomping" grounds - Dallas, Tx. They are all on the wonderful Dallas based Idol Records Label. These guys churn out some excellent local bands and are a respected indie music label. Here Holy Spain is a trio that hails from Dallas and on their debut Manic they deliver what the indie kids call "slacker punk". On Manic , the band cranks full on blasts of banging [...]

Image From Here Shite David, its been a whole week where the hell have you been? Sorry, I haven't been around here in a week. Suffice it to say, things got bad for me the past week. My illness is bad and it effects my functionality at all levels. There are days or weeks that I will be able to be "semi-functional" and then there are times that I will be laid up in bed 24/7. This past week the depression kicked hard and then I encountered some serious physical problems. To make [...]

Wow, there is a wealth of new indie music out there and a bunch that have not been covered by any blogs. I have listened to so many new albums over the last few weeks and it has been awesome. Amazon.com always has some good specials and you can get mp3 digital downloads from them for a pretty cheap price. Check it out. Indie rock Irish trio Bell X1 were formed in 1999 out of the ashes of the fairly popular band Juniper which included critically-acclaimed folk artist Damien Rice. 2006's successful Flock saw the band [...]

Franklin was born in Essex, England and is most well known as the frontman/guitarist for one of the best 90's Shoegaze bands - Swervedriver. Along with his more recent solo work, he has also been a part of Toshack Highway and Magnetic Morning. Regarding his solo career, his debut release was Bolts Of Melody released in 2007. Bolts had Franklin returning to his Swervedriver roots and was full of the trademark sprawling, guitar heavy sound. A great album and [...]

Image From Here The Moog are a Budapest, Hungary quintet. Their follow up to the excellent '07 debut Sold For Tomorrow was recorded in Seattle and is titled Razzmatazz Orfeum . They are a hard playing band and put out a sound that is part Ramones, part Dinosaur Jr., with the fuzziness of Jesus & Mary Chain. A nice mix for sure. Think "new wave-garage with hints of post-punk psych" and you will have it nailed. These guys could be big if only they had more exposure! mp3 [...]
