The Hush Sound is, in my opinion, one of the best indie pop groups to ever come out of Illinois. So it was pretty upsetting when in 2008, shortly after the release of their third studio album, Goodbye Blues , they announced a hiatus. Luckily for me, and the rest of Chicago, The Hush Sound will be taking the stage together for the second time in the last 4 years, to play two back-to-back shows at the Bottom Lounge. The first night is a [...]

When did they start? : 2005 Who are They? : Made up of Made up of Jon Merkin (vocals), Mike Serman (guitar), Jeremy Stein (bass) and, Dan Kirschen (drums), The Shake is a NYC band , The Shake is a rock n' roll band from New York City.

This paired with their high energy, amazing live show makes The Shake a band [...]
With the early Two Thousand and Twelve emphasis on nurturing new talent in the world of music, we at MUZU.TV talked to the up and coming Dead Wolf Club, who are releasing their debut album on February 1st, through Scene Not Heard records. MUZU: Hi guys! You're releasing your debut album on DIY collective Scene Not Herd who claim to "put on the absolute best up and coming bands.". How's it feel to be part of something that chooses to be synonymous with launching great bands? [...]

The guilty pleasure of exploring secondhand charity shops will always tempt me away from the more important things I really should be doing. Unnaturally dark, smelling of moth balls and always manned by efficient volunteers giving their valuable time to a chosen worthy cause. Records, CD's or retro clobber are my choice of purchase but I have been seen walking out of these back street establishments with a lava lamp under one arm and a string-less banjo under the other. Every so often I'm going to dedicate a few paragraphs to celebrate an album picked up for the measly cost [...]

The Vines - Clint Eastwood [Gorillaz] | zs watch the original

Una de las gratas sorpresas de 2010, el grupo de folk/pop orquestal Lost in the Trees , ha anunciado el lanzamiento de A Church That Fits Our Needs , sucesor de All Alone In An Empty House . Además comparte un tema para que vayamos degustando su nuevo material. El álbum es en gran parte en respuesta a la muerte de la madre de Ari Picker , líder del conjunto, quien se quitó la vida en el verano de 2009. "Picker se concentró [...]

I listen to Lyrics Last by The Mallard That The Mallard 's Yes On Blood coming out on Castle Face Records is reason enough to take notice - given John Dwyer and company's track record - but the SF trio's raucous mix of psych and garage-punk is an exciting, unique entrant into SF's rock scene. Both "I Listen to Lyrics Last" and "Vines" come from the forthcoming record. Vines by The Mallard [...]
The Mallard (confessed friend and confidante) is steadily moving towards a Castle Face release of their first album YES ON BLOOD, and the tracks are slowly sliding on to the internet. "Vines", a long time staple of The Mallard's downright stellar live show is the latest and it lives up to the sonic squalor Greer McGettrick and [...]

Rap duo Gangrene , comprised of producers/rappers Oh No and The Alchemist , first struck out on their own with 2010's Gutter Water . That album was a gritty, funk-sampling collection of songs themed around pollution and infectious disease. It also took over three years to come together. Looks like the pair have found their groove, possibly with the aid of psychotropics, as their follow-up is already set for release. This new joint is entitled Vodka & Ayahuaska , and don't worry if you don't know what that [...]

I will be one of the first ones to admit that there was a time when I liked the Vines. I always believed that they were the most maligned of the so-called "Big 33 (along with the Hives and the Strokes) that were supposed to save rock & roll a decade ago. Certainly if nothing else they were the most dynamic of the three, due in small part to their obvious adoration of the Beatles and Beatles-esque song structures. And between 2002 and 2006 they put out a bunch of decent records that, at least in the case of their [...]

Voyageurs - The Distance Loving the sleepy swing of this new single from these Arkansas-based kraut worshipers. Let its vines wrap around your porch and burst morning glories to trumpet the glorious day. Digital 7" b/w "Big Ritual" from White Moon Recordings 'Singles Club'.

Welder er bedst kendt under navnet Eskmo, hvor han producerer kluborienteret breakbeatpræget, dubsteppet og glictchet elektronisk musik. Under navnet Welder, laver han stadig elektronisk musik, men af en helt anden art med, i min optik, mere spændende virkemidler. Det er langt mere organisk lydende — ofte lyder det som et helt orkester, selvom det jo ikke kan passe i og med, Welder er et soloprojekt, så vidt jeg ved. Men Welder har mange andre tricks oppe i ærmet som er perfekt arrangeret og doseret. I flæng kan nævnes operaklingende vokaler, forvrængede vokaler, noget der lyder som et [...]
Wow. I'm not quite sure how this track passed me by. Made available earlier in the year via the Nomadic Firs soundcloud , Vines is the most gloriously addictive three and a half minutes of psychedelic pop you'll hear this year. Alongside the release of a video to accompany Vines, Nomadic Firs have also announced that their debut LP will be available via our long-time bros at Crash Symbols , which I'm sure you'll agree is a match made in heaven. Be sure to check out the clip, [...]
There must be something in the warm Pacific Ocean water that surrounds Australia. Every few years, a new band seems to emerge from the musical bush there, ready to assume the title of the next Great Rock Hope. By the fuzzy sounds enclosed on their self-titled, Inertia -released third full-length album, The Vasco Era appear to be willing to take their shot at rock glory. Or at least go out with a loud, breakup sex-worthy bang. The Vasco Era starts off innocently enough with a quiet guitar solo that leads into opening song [...]

Nel nome del Padre, del Figlio e dello Spirito Santo. E parte la cerimonia, il rito pagano di Christopher Owens , agghindato e dannatamente serio come un ministro di Santería che ha assorbito la forza, la pulsione, e tutta la frenesia di una San Francisco vibrante e mai doma, per poi rinchiudersi in un sotterraneo del Tenderloin, quattro mura di cemento con cui dialogare e nulla più. Era quello che cercava, assieme al fraterno Chet JR White , un ambiente essenziale, senza fronzoli e distrazioni, dove esprimere la propria musica e tutto il proprio sentimento in assoluta [...]

Trudging out early this past weekend, I dressed for the morning chill, throwing on comfortable, worn jeans, a heavy, dark blue sweater (which I'm told is actually grey), well broken-in combat boots, and my Belgian army coat. I didn't wear a tie, mainly because I don't own one and the concept puzzles me. Paloma, who once worked in a fairly posh department store, was pointing out ties on a television program the other day. She wanted me to guess their costs and, each time, my reply was reminiscent of Dustin Hoffman as Rain Man. [...]

Vines is the first single from the forthcoming release by The Nomadic Firs . You would be hard pressed to find a better blend of chilled out, good time rhythms and fuzzy, happy-go-lucky bedroom psychedelia anywhere. Simply irresistible. Download The Nomadic Firs - Vines mp3 Follow @madmackerel
