When faced with eloquently acknowledging a tragedy on a live show, The Voice knows the right man for the job: Carson Daly . Alright, so he’s a little awkward when he tries to broach any hard-hitting news, but at least he's better than bubbly pipsqueak Christina Milian . The yikes of the delivery vehicles aside, The Voice appropriately acknowledges Monday’s tragic tornado in Oklahoma before starting up the performances. Oklahoman Blake Shelton , notably affected by the natural disaster in his home state, says, “It makes it hard to sit here [...]

The bulletin here is not that Cotillon went off to Mexico, had an adventure and lived to tell about it; it's that the L.A. trio survived all the "beer, waves, tequila, Federales, mariachis, dancers, donkeys, drinkable water (or lack thereof), dogs, donkeys that looked like zebras, pot, prescription meds, mariachis, and street kids" to make a sharp new EP. The band — Jordan Corso, Zach Miller and Michael Medeiros — dish out six loose-fitting slabs of surf-garage rock on their new "White Roses" EP. They were abetted by Ryan Hailey, Samuel Jacob Lopez Jr., David Joseph and producer [...]

• Cotillon - Convenience

Swim Deep are taking Britain by storm with their brand of upbeat indie pop that sounds somewhere in between The Mystery Jets, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Stone Roses. Lead singer of the band Austin Williams and drummer Zach Robinson caught up with Critical Wave just moments before their gig at The Green Door Store in Brighton at an old pub, just around the corner called The Battle of Trafalgar. The band had spent the night before playing to a full house at XOYO in Shoreditch so Zach and Austin sat with meat [...]

Interstellar Transmissions, ready to blast off from SXSW 2012 but first they had to get out of traffic. The TV is telling us to “spring forward” our clocks this weekend, meaning we lose an hour of sleep. That’s scarcely enough preparation for some of us who next week will enter the swirl of madness and music known as South by Southwest. That South by Southwest thing (let’s call it SXSW from now on) is a week-long event in Austin, Texas. It’s a conference, kinda, and a festival, sorta – it has conferences on interactive [...]

For a film titled, "The Wizard of Oz," the 1939 classic film gives very little screen time to its title character and its magical realm. It only explores a small chapter of the magical land described in L. Frank Baum's book series. With "Oz: The Great and Powerful," audiences finally get a greater look at not only Oz the man, but at Oz the land. With this deeper dive into the fantasy, it becomes clearer what makes both so great. "Oz: The Great and Powerful" is a loose prequel to the [...]

Director: Sam Raimi Cast: James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Zach Braff Certificate: PG Running Time: 130 minutes Release Date: March 8 3D: Worth it Oz the Great and Powerful is a strange anomaly, serving as both a prequel and reboot of the known franchise—The Man Behind The Curtain Begins if you will. Oscar Diggs (James Franco) is an illusionist and grifter living in Dust Bowl era Kansas, traveling from town to town with a circus. His serial womanising catches up with him and when fleeing [...]

I have been following a musician named Zach Williams almost as long as I've been writing this blog.  I first stumbled upon his music when his moniker was Zach Williams and The Ramparts.  Those were the heady days of Myspace and random music links that led you farther and farther down the rabbit hole.  I followed his career as he made the move to NYC and at one point we started to email back and forth occasionally.  I recall vividly a time when he was playing a lot of local shows in the New York area and I [...]

It's Friday, which means that we're awaiting the arrival of the latest snowpocalypse, and also that it's time for our regular roundup of new music to get your hands on this week. This week there's a free EP from Stars and their touring buddies, along with a bunch of interesting remixes (featuring Tame Impala, Diana and Doldrums, and others), a free Dilla-inspired beat compilation from Shigeto, new tracks from Four Tet and Leech, a pretty ace mixtape from Kilo Kish, and plenty more where that all came from. None of this will cost you a dime, so we suggest you [...]

C’è chi li ritiene la “Next Big Thing” del 2013, un’etichetta pesante da portare per un gruppo alle prese con il primo album. Hype a parte, quello dei The Lone Bellow ( Zach Williams che canta e compone, sua moglie Kanene Pipkin al mandolino e ai backing vocals, Brian Elmquist alla chitarra) ha tutte le caratteristiche per essere un esordio col botto tipo quello degli Alabama Shakes, passati in tempo record da illustri e talentuosi sconosciuti a band osannata dalla critica e in corsa per un Grammy. Vengono da Georgia [...]

You Never Need Nobody G eorgia native Zach Williams began songwriting in 2005 during a time of family crisis and learned to play guitar to help put his emotional outpouring to song. Unknown to Williams at the time he was creating the music that would eventually become the groundwork for his solo effort Zach Williams & The Bellow. With friends and family by his side Williams was Brooklyn bound, with a newly profound outlook on life and eager for a fresh start. In 2010 Brian Elmquist and Kanene Pipkin joined the songwriter as he [...]

While some would like to call it the Mumford-ization of rock, there is no denying that over the last handful of years folk, roots and Americana music has crossed over into the mainstream with bands like The Avett Brothers, The Civil Wars, The Swell Season and most recently The Lumineers all achieving cross-over success. The latest band that is likely to benefit from this trend is  The Lone Bellow , who will release their  self-titled debut next Tuesday via Sony's Descendant Records imprint. The Brooklyn-based band, who has already [...]

The Lone Bellow is een trio uit Brooklyn, New York. Geen hippe indierock, maar emotionele folk/country. 22 januari verschijnt het debuutalbum. Voorman Zach Williams en gitarist Brian Elmquist groeiden op in Georgia, waar ze samen naar college gingen. Mandolinespeelster Kanene Pipkin komt oorspronkelijk uit Fredericksburg, Virginia en verbleef na haar afstuderen in Peking. Williams begon een jaar of zeven geleden muziek te maken, nadat zijn vrouw in het ziekenhuis belandde na een val van haar paard. Ze brak naar nek. Wonderwel is ze geheel hersteld. [...]
