Steve Marino started writing songs in his bedroom back in Florida in 2008. Since then, he's moved to Indiana, and his songs have become a little less cheesy and juvenile, and more abstract, and self-pitiful in nature. Cryptic whining - I guess you could call it - mostly about girls (who would have guessed?) and maybe a reference to a dog here and there. Either way, he just likes writing songs that make him feel good, and hopes that feeling spreads to some of the people who hear them. ( Musical Family Tree ) [...]
Bloomington, Indiana isn't a name that rolls off the tongue as a purveying city of pop greatness. Yet here we have a band, Sleeping Bag , creating some very catchy, sometimes jangle-influenced, other times rock-related pop songs. The band's debut self-titled LP dropped in 2011 and it was pop, but it was also mopey. Favorites like "Sunroom" had a downtrodden nature to them despite having more upbeat instrumentation. Women Of Your Life is Sleeping Bag's follow up and hit last month via Joyful Noise [...]

Netherfriends: Middle America – Netherfriends, the one man band also known as Shawn Rosenblatt, recently achieved his goal of writing and recording a song and performing in all 50 states. Middle America is the first release from his travels. Each song is named for a city and state, and each of the twelve songs on this album contains a sense of adventure and discovery in and of itself. This undertaking was so monumental and just plain cool; the record will make you want to take a road trip [...]
In June this Bloomington Indiana based band signed up for their first album with Bloodshot Records, their sixth full length in the quickly growing and maturing catalog. The album was apparently funded on Kickstarter and quickly doubled past their goal to a couple hundred thousand dollars by the end of its run, setting a record for third most funded album on the grassroots site. The new album apparently shipped this past week to all the Kickstarter participants and should make quite a huge splash in the coming month. Check them out at your favorite link [...]
Today marks the arrival of one of my most anticipated local releases of the year: She Does Is Magic’s debut LP My Height in Heels . The project is led by Bloomington’s Chad Serhal. The album is Serhal’s second release of 2012, following his solo effort Golden . Listening to My Height in Heels , you get the sense that what Serhal enjoys most about She Does Is Magic are those moments when it really feels like a band. Those opportunities to get lost within and expound upon a solitary guitar riff that [...]
It's Bloomington day on Thought on Tracks, and with good reason. Today marks the release of She Does Is Magic's My Height in Heels . God willing, I'll have a review out the door by early this afternoon. Before we get there though, I would like to introduce fellow B-town residents Wet Blankets . This band has jumped out of the gates with a home-run debut single in the form of " Patio " - a yearning, rollicking teen dream of a tune. The track is the first taste of the forthcoming [...]
The Wailin' Smithers is a new band from Bloomington, IN. Yesterday, the band released a demo of their latest track "Ocean Song." The track is immediately reminiscent of Albert Hammond Jr.'s solo work on his underrated 2006 LP Yours to Keep . The Wailin' Smithers have just a handful of shows under the belt, mostly house parties and a few opening spots at The Bishop. The band has written an album's worth of material, and hope to enter the studio soon. For now, listen and download "Ocean Song" below. Don't miss out on a free download of their [...]
Our favorite landlocked surf rockers are back! Bloomington, IN's Triptides debuted a new song today entitled "Graveyard." The track is the debut single from the band's new LP Sun Pavilion . Triptides are quickly developing a reputation as one of Indiana's busiest garage rock outfits, releasing a torrent of singles, EP's and live albums since their debut LP Psychic Summer dropped last July. "Graveyard" falls in line seamlessly with the rest of the band's ever-growing discography . Clanging guitars, cascading oohs and aahs and snare-heavy rhythms serve as [...]

Sharon Van Etten and The War On Drugs pulled into Bloomington, IN on a cool April Sunday for their show at Rhino's. This being the last night of their tour together, both bands were in nostalgically high spirits throughout their sets. They loving teased each other from the stage and muttered inside jokes into the mic like old friends, with Ms. Van Etten even joining The War On Drugs for a killer version of Brothers . The crowd packed around the stage throughout each set, alternating between looks of pure [...]
Bloomington, Indiana is an amazing town only a short 2 hour jump north from Louisville. We try to make it up there at least once a month for a show and record hunting at Landlocked , Tracks and TDs records. With a strong music base and IU, local promoter, Spirit of '68 has been a powerhouse in the area in attracting great shows. Here are just a few coming up to give you an idea: April 19- Hanni El Khatib @ The Bishop [...]

Joel – Interview #1 Pretty Boy Freud – Stefan Scherer-Emunds
I sat down with Pretty Boy Freud 's frontman Stefan for a short interview. PBF kind of exploded onto the Bloomington, IN music scene in the tail end of 2012 and beginning of 2013. Check out my vid as Stefan talks the band's origins, the B-town music scene and the who the prettiest boy in Pretty Boy Freud is.
Painted Palms – All Of Us (Live on KEXP)
I don't think they have a visual for this song, but a live version will do justice. Painted Palms is originally from San Francisco, and are a part of Secretly Canadian, an independent record label stationed here at my home base in Bloomington, IN. They give off an awesome poppy, electronic vibe that you can get down to, like Neon Indian or Starfucker. Enjoy this live version of "All Of Us" from the KEXP studio. Painted Palms - Canopy EP

Fresh Track: Apache Dropout “Candy Bar”
On Friday, Bloomington garage rock trio Apache Dropout offered listeners their first taste of the band's forthcoming LP Bubblegum Graveyard . "Candy Bar" picks up where the band left off on their well-received, self-titled debut ( free download ). The six-track release was built upon playful writing, heavy distortion and a confidence well-beyond a band that should still be reaching for an identity. Listen and download "Candy Bar" from Soundcloud . Bubblegum Graveyard is due to drop on August 8 via Chicago label Trouble in Mind . Connect with Apache Dropout [...]
