South Texas blues artist Roy Trevino has just released his debut album.

Vi abbiamo già dato la notizia di " Blunderbuss ", il nuovo lavoro solista di Jack White , in uscita il prossimo 24 aprile per la sua Third Man Records . Nel frattempo è stata pubblicata "Love Interruption": la traccia è il singolo dell'album in formato 7", il cui lato B è "Machine Gun Silhouette" che non sarà però inclusa nella tracklist del disco. Sonorità molto simili alla precedente anticipazione, che si muovono su territori country e folk-blues, 'stavolta con un po' di bluegrass in chiave southern-rock (la Allman Brothers [...]

Man Legs // Cosmic Chief I've been a big fan of the young Calgary band Man Legs for a while now. I blogged about them a few times way back in the day. But given the nature of the blogging beast, sometimes it's hard to keep track of all the music that passes through my ears and I'm afraid to say that these dudes probably got lost in the shuffle somewhere along the way. Well I'm happy to announce that Man Legs has made a huge comeback from [...]

by nashawa It's really difficult to come into an album like Old Ideas without preconceived notions. We all know who Leonard Cohen is and the weight the name carries in this country. As a songwriter, it's very hard to not trace a trail of influence back to him regardless of the style of music you write. For me, there is no trail: Leo is the be-all-end-all of Canadian songwriting as far as overall package is concerned - in my not-so-humble opinion - so there wasn't much of a chance [...]

Dopo avervi segnalato la versione live al David Letterman Show e il brano in streaming (insieme a "Little Black Submarines" e "Sister", altre due tracce del nuovo " El Camino "), arriva ora il video del singolo prescelto dai Black Keys . Le immagini di "Gold on the ceiling" sono opera di Reid Long e ci mostrano una serie di momenti girati prima e dopo i concerti, con scene dai backstage , on the road e in studio di registrazione. Poco da aggiungere tranne sottolineare come - nonostante non si gridi certo al miracolo [...]

Jumping on stage with a blues band; jazz begins its comeback tour!

The big news of last week was that former frontman of The White Stripes , Jack White , would finally be releasing a solo album titled Blunderbuss. The web was buzzing and got tons of people pretty much freaking out. He also released the first single called "Love Interruption," which after the initial hype, I was kind like its just an okay track. Now a non-album B-side track called "Machine Gun Silhouette" made an appearance on the web yesterday. It has a bluesy-rock sound with some old-school country blended in. Listen below. Fresh? [...]

The Black Keys have come a long way since their early blues/rock days and are now one of the top rock acts in music. Their latest record, El Camino , went over quite well especially with the hit video for "Lonely Boy." Now the duo from Ohio follows up with a video for "Gold on the Ceiling." The approach is different from the previous video, with "Gold on the Ceiling" we get live footage of crowds at their concerts, on the road type moments, etc. Director credits go to Reid Long . Watch below. [...]

"Always Forever" is a two minute pop gem. Hunx plays SFO on March 21st @ Bottom of the Hill + Seattle on the 23rd at the Crocodile.

Disco dal sapore internazionale questo Playing With The Ghost degli italianissimi Circo Fantasma , che nel loro quinto album scoprono senza tanti indugi le loro carte, rendendo un sentito e riuscito omaggio ai loro eroi di gioventù e – si presume – a coloro che hanno ispirato il sound del trio lombardo. Il fantasma del titolo è nientepopodimenoche Nikki Sudden , autentico beatiful loser, ex leader degli Swell Maps con cui incise due album a cavallo tra '70 e '80, per poi dedicarsi ad una carriera solista ricca di collaborazioni prestigiose (Jeff Tweedy e Peter Buck, [...]

Submerged in snot and snow, I have emerged this chilly Sunday evening just to pop my head above the parapet and write a paltry Sunday offering (sorry MM, late again!) It did also mean that I was absent from the Mackerel bobsleigh this lunchtime and only put in a below par and croaky performance at Gooner Ian's birthday yesterday. (Don't we all love to be princess for our special day? I think he wore his tiara rather well). This evening's offering comes from the indefatigable and supremely talented Mark Lanegan . If this man was [...]

Darkly seductive, Lana Del Rey is the real thing.

Waveriders! First of all, thank you all so much for popping in with us and checking out reviews on the "best music you're not listening to." Our goal is for our writers to find music that truly excites them, then unleash themselves upon their keyboards to write missives and spread the word. We've been growing like crazy recently, as we've crossed over 3,000,000 hits and our staff keeps on expanding so here's a preview of what each week has in store for you. Of course, sometimes things change because of schedules, but basically, here's the [...]

Cold Blue Kid are a Chicago-based band who are set to release their new EP, Mimics, in just over a weeks time. The EP - which is streaming over on their Facebook page - is a heady blast of skuzzy indie-rock with shades of Broken Social Scene and Pavement, and is a sterling introduction to the band if you missed them first time around (their debut LP was released in 2010). We're giving away Maybe Town as a free download below and we highly recommend that you [...]

C'est dans le Texas des années 50 que la jeune Janis Lyn Joplin éduque son oreille au blues et forge la personnalité rebelle et déjantée de Pearl , son surnom qui servira de titre à son album posthume culte. Garçon manqué, elle est martyrisée par ses camarades de classes qui se moquent de son allure et de son style. Elle se réfugie rapidement dans la musique et se passionne pour des chanteuses blues telles Big Mama Thorton , Odetta ou encore Bessie Smith dont [...]

Tweet This one's a treat. Cheyenne Marie Mize was a folk singer-songwriter from Loiusville, Kentucky. I say "was" because although her first album, which you should check out if you haven't already, was a mature collection of stripped down folk tunes showcasing Mize's beautiful voice, her latest EP represents something of a transformation. On "We Don't Need" Mize explores a range of new styles in just six short tracks and nails almost all of them. No need to [...]

Liz Green's soulful vocals and lyrical stories will thrill any fan of blues and folk.

• Liz Green - Hey Joe

A year ago today (and, believe me, this is still terribly hard to type), monumental Detroit garage rock duo the White Stripes officially decided to break apart. The raw, bluesy two piece cut the chord on February 2, 2011, ending the more than 10 years of life their only child had so voraciously acquired. In all honesty, this was to be expected; it would have been selfish to force the electric pair to continue, especially once Meg White 's increasingly acute anxiety attacks were factored into the entropic equation. It was clear that (although not mentioned [...]
