Hello, everyone. It's the shortest, and quite possibly worst, month of the year. But let's look on the bright side – the days are getting longer, we've got the Super Bowl to look forward to, college basketball is heating up, Kings of Leon's clothes are now available in the States (I kid), and this month is jam-packed with some great shows. And there's everyone's favorite made-up holiday – Valentine's Day. I'd like to take this opportunity to tell everyone that we love you. Give us a man-hug if you see us at the rock show. CHICAGO [...]

The extreme diversity of instruments, unique voices, and quality story lines help your mind escape your everyday situation. Below are a few top picks from two legit Folk Rock ensembles: Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros and Port O'Brien Home Janglin [...]

Port O'Brien - Love Me Through **An easy monday morning song for me on holdays. from this pic you'd say they're pretty fun guys.
Port O'Brien: Robin's Blue I just realised that every mix tape [cd] i was given last year included Wait For The Summer by Yaesayer & Port O'Brien's track I Woke Up Today. For a minute there, both songs were the much gifted anthems of 2008, the latter being well caught on film by One Take New [...]
"How can it be bullshit to state a personal preference?" – Rob Gordon, High Fidelity For many reasons – personal and otherwise – I'm glad 2009 is over. I realize this is probably an unpopular sentiment, but the year in music seemed like a dud. As my friend Royce claims, it was the year of the No. 8 album – as in, the best albums belong no higher than the eighth spot on year-end lists. That's his theory and I'm sticking to it. That said, I know I'm only getting back [...]

Esistono diversi modi per approcciarsi ad un concerto. E se col tempo ci si avvicina soprattutto per ascoltare le capacità live del cantante o della band in questione, le qualità tecniche e l'abilità di reinterpretazione del proprio repertorio, in una modalità che ovviamente non lascia possibilità di riscatto a disastri e incapacità, come possibile invece sfruttando i trucchi e le magie proprie di uno studio di registrazione, certo è che da giovane prevale sicuramente l'entusiasmo per andare a sentire il proprio beniamino dal vivo, vederlo in carne e ossa e cantare insieme a lui canzoni amate e ascoltate fino a [...]
Best of 2009 Once again our writers have delved back through the hazy mists of their befuddled minds and delivered their verdict on the year just gone to conjure up a list of the very best. The outcome proves to be a collective mark of appreciation to the scuzzy guitar hounds from NYC, The Pains of Being Pure At Heart , winners of the album and singles of the year awards and [...]
