SASKATCHEWAN - Dreamboat We'll I've just found my new summer jam. Orlando natives Saskatchewan released, via their bandcamp , an incredibly catchy upbeat summer tune called Dreamboat. No word yet on whether we'll see a full length album out anytime soon, or if the guys will head out beyond Florida for some shows. But for now, enjoy this retro tune. It's gonna be difficult to NOT have it on repeat.

Review | The Elected at Brighton Music Hall

Music Savage
The Elected - Go For The Throat On the first or second listen of The Elected's third album Bury Me In My Rings , you don't really think about where this music fits in best. But live, it's clear that all of the songs off their new record are tailor made for a west-coast beach party. Preferably around a bonfire. At sunset. And so in the dark Brighton Music Hall, on a Tuesday night the setting wasn't exactly perfect but the sound was. There were ukeleles, bongo drums and lap steel. Playing mostly [...]

The Elected - Go For The Throat You'd recognize his face from Boy Meets World and Salute Your Shorts, but you'd also recognize Blake Sennett's voice and song writing as one half of the loved-by-everyone Rilo Kiley. Sennett's new(er) project is The Elected, and they're playing at Brighton Music Hall tonight. The Elected's third studio album, Bury Me In My Rings is full of super catchy tunes you'd only expect from the second half of Rilo Kiley and Sennett should be especially great live as every song is one that is great from the [...]

Small Town Talk by Kevin Long I've got a favorite new hobby. It's hanging out on Bandcamp and searching for new music under tags such as 'Folk' and 'Seattle'. And in doing so I stumbled across Kevin Long's page for his new LP Small Town Talk . I was immediately blown away by the first track Home Town Remedy . Long's voice is so crisp and clear, that it was instantly likeable. And as I read on about the album, I recognized another name, Seattle's own master mixer/sound engineer Kory Kruckenberg, who [...]

Mean Creek - The Land Of Hopes & Dreams Boston-based rock quartet Mean Creekis releasing a new single titled "The Land of Hopes & Dreams." The track was recorded here in Boston at 1867 Recording Studio. The sound is reminding me a lot Arcade Fire's Funeral, the vocals are quite similar and the raw emotion and power of the sound is really reminiscent. It's a great pounding track that is sure to dazzle fans. The single was released on Mean Creek's Bandcamp page and you can download it for free. [...]

The Californian - A Billion Grains of Sand A modern day surf act is what these guys are after, and listening to their first cut off of their debut album the spirit of Dick Dale is all over the guitars on A Billion Grains of Sand . The formative years saw the Californian with a litany of line-up changes with members of Phantom Planet, Warpaint, The Bird and the Bee, and The Henry Clay People, coming and going. However, with four years under their belts, the Californian's lineup has solidified with guitarists Jonathan Price [...]

But over the past few years, Green has made a name for himself in his strong song-writing skills and quiet acoustic folk songs . City and Colour's third studio album, Little Hell , was released on June 7, and will both please City and Colour's old fans and garner new ones. While City and Colour is known for melodic folk, [...]

The Antlers new album Burst Apart which dropped in May is significantly different and less weary than their 2009 debut Hospice , which was a ten-song album centered around a terminally ill hospice patient. Most were unsure what a follow up to Hospice would sound like, but Burst Apart carries on with vocalist and guitarist Peter Silberman's signature falsetto, Darby Cicci's unifying keyboards and Michael Lerner's backing drums.
