Flashback, 1987: I'm a freshman in high school, just finding my way into the dark underbelly of underground music thanks to the burgeoning alternative college radio scene in and around the Boston area and a younger brother whose musical tastes blossomed early. I hadn't really noticed UK band The Smiths during middle school, but when Girlfriend in a Coma hit the airwaves, it touched me deeply, and I purchased the album from which it came, hardly aware that it would be their last, that the band was already disintegrating from the stress between an exhausted and [...]
This is a bit dated compared to our usual music posts we share but just watched "Dear John' with its accompanying Dear John: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and really loved the story and the musical score which included 311, Joshua Radin, Fink, The Swell Season, and more...
Ashtar Command's debut album, American Sunshine , is an expansive and coherent album that defies being reduced to a single genre. Nick Drake could come to mind, as well as the Chemical Brothers . Spiritualized could be seen in there as well as The Beach Boys . There are songs of exquisite beauty and ones that unabashedly rock. The duo were joined by many of the great and the good in the indie world with guest vocalists including Joshua Radin , Alex Ebert of Edward Sharpe [...]
Ashtar Command is the result of the magnificent union between two veterans of music, producer Chris Holmes and Brian Liesegang, former member of Nine Inch Nails and Filter.

There is nothing on "Save Me" that doesn't scream majestic. The frontman of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes elevates the track from a whimsical entrance into a burst of vocal grandeur [...]

He's best friends with Scrubs' Zach Braff, he's been compared to American songwriting legend Paul Simon on more than one occasion, his songs have been on every TV show going and he has a new album out at the moment. Who are we talking about? Joshua Radin , of course. Radin's career has been an interesting one; it's been half a decade since he released his debut 'We Were Here' and regrettably, his stateside success hasn't really translated in the UK. When asked how he hoped his new offering will [...]
The Rock And The Tide is the title of Joshua Radin's most recent album and after thoroughly enjoying the record earlier this year we were all really excited to have him join us for a session. It was the exclusive Martini Library in Central London where we met with Mr Radin and his good friend Brandon who performed two acoustic tracks, one of which was Streetlight and the other was a track exclusive to the UK album version called I Missed You. You can buy the album via iTunes here and all tour [...]

Fortunately, the weather once again holds out on Sunday as thousands of music fans flood into the centre of Sheffield for the last day of Tramlines 2011. By early afternoon, venue capacities become how many people will fit and still be able to get to the bar and the main stage has a steady moving queue. For this reason, I return to the New Music Stage, which today is curated by local screamo/hardcore group Rolo Tomassi. The band have great taste, as the first band I see are [...]
