As four guys dressed in various levels of rocker attire, from the most basic jeans and T's to the full-on lead guitarist rockstar wardrobe, walk into the studio they exchange the same familiar barbs and ribbing that they have for the last 5 years. The jokes about each other's style, equipment preferences, and state of facial hair upkeep are old. What is new is the status of signed band they acquired last year when signing with independent label Filament Records; their first professional music video for Second Time Around; and the songs they are currently to laying down with [...]

Get ready for Pitchfork Music Festival with the story behind what inspires the festival's creators and who's set to rock the stage this year.

If Keith Richards can be dad so can I. I had no clue I'd be a dad one day. Now with two lovely daughters who are sure to give me some challenges one day you gotta wonder how I'm going to make it through. I know I'll persevere or just move-out. One of my tips for listening to the music you want on the on road-trip. So you can listen to what you want in the car when you want to listen to these tracks is make the wife drive and you wear the headphones so you don't have [...]

When you were growing up, was there ever that kid in your class that was good at everything? Good at school, good at sports, good with the other kids, and good looking? Well, if that kid grew up to be a musician, he'd probably be like Julian Shah-Tayler who switches from songwriter to producer to performer to DJ with the greatest of ease, talent unwavering. Already Julian has worked directly with Joaquin Phoenix, JC Chasez, and Violet Flames to name a few. As a sonwriter, he co-wrote the smash hit "Wrap It Up" which has been [...]

words: Jamie Milton For the last year, if not longer, escapism has been the beefy subject matter taking up space in the majority of alternative music's releases. Most notably for the euphoric bedroom-dance-pioneer Memory Tapes , it worked wonders on ' Stay Magic '; word of mouth helped spread thousands towards the charming sense of triumph bursting from all sides. Amongst Girls, Pomegranates and Washed Out , in a similar spreading of popularity, it certainly did favours. Make no mistake: Dustin Payseur is just as infectious and my word, will summer erupt to [...]

What does it mean to be finished, yet unpolished? Does that mean that the work is incomplete or lacking? Or perhaps, could it be that the piece of work is actually more complete. More true to life due to it's gritty rawness. Consider that when listening to The Will who craft high energy rock with all the edge and grit that rock deserves. Your music has a very authentic punk-rock sound, unlike so many of these new "punk" bands today, who are some of [...]
Blowing In Cartridges When something is this pretty one need not try and make it prettier with words. Blowing In Cartridges - The Good Old Days Part 2 ( mp3 )
Fine compilation of one of the great unheard bands of the nineties, Finger.

I really enjoy it when an artist creates their own buzz in the blogosphere. Derek Jordan did just that with his last release Identity and is getting ready to release his newest psychological rock beast entitled Humanist . By taking one look at him, you'd never guess what intellectual and existential discussions were taking place beneath the surface. Luckily, Humanist is that one porthole into the soul that is Derek Jordan . What was the moment when you [...]

Guest post: Treadmarkz is my brother-in-law, a Human Beatles Encyclopedia and the author of the weblog Treadmarkz.wordpress.com . Some Country music purists would probably say that anything that warrants the name "Alternative Country" is not really Country. But ultimately it is the domain of the fan to judge what an artist is or is not, to them. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Jennifer Dixon . A little country sensibility with a style that hovers along the cusp of blues, pop, jazz owing to a [...]
