Fresh off releasing an excellent album with Dead Confederate (review forthcoming), lead singer T. Hardy Morris is set to release his debut solo album - The Audition Tapes. The album will be out on July 30th on Dangerbird Records. Here's some background info: His world-weary vocals rich with nostalgia and sympathy, songs like "Disaster Proof" and the stark album closer, "Own Worst Enemy," find Morris chronicling a rich cast of characters devastated by drink, drugs, and depression, both personal and economic. "It's largely about the hometown me and the other guys in Dead Confederate grew up in," he [...]

Broadheds throws a saxophone into its aggressive punk music, resulting in a ska-tinged debut album.

Apparently taking control of the label he co-founded, Dangerbird Records , was not the most punk-rock thing Peter Walker will have done this year. Walker — who has released albums with his band Eulogies and under his own name — today unveiled the new project Broadheds , a ska-punk-leaning quartet with an all-star cast. And we do not use "all-star" indiscriminately: Justin Meldal-Johnsen (Beck, NIN, producer extraordinaire) mans the bass, with Fitz & the Tantrums sax man James King and in-demand drummer Denny Weston Jr. (the Kooks, Earlimart) on board. Walker says the quartet is not just [...]

Tijuana Panthers , the Long Beach trio whose exhilarating blend of surf-garage-punk has inspired mosh pits all over SoCal, will be joining the growing roster of artists on the L.A.-based imprint Innovative Leisure Records . No word on the band's release plans yet, but they have an album completed and since releasing their album "Max Baker" in 2010 have grown into a formidable live act. They join an eclectic Innovative Leisure crew that includes Hanni El Khatib, Nosaj Thing, Allah-Las, Nick Waterhouse and Feeding People, among others. ► [...]

Sunday night at North Star Bar was fashioned to be the same as the previous two trips to see Sea Wolf - they had a new album out, Alex Brown Church had flannel on and the crowd was pressed forward waiting for the house music to stop and the group to take the stage. What in turn happened was Sea Wolf crushed it like they had never before, rounding up the best tidbits from all three albums (and an EP) to make me want to see them again when album No. 4 comes out, or just when they are back [...]

Sea Wolf + Hey Marseilles / Stage AE Club / 10.15.2012 / Doors 7:30 / $12 Words by Brendan Led by Alex Brown Church, Sea Wolf is an indie pop band that's been around since 2007, releasing great albums that have flown just under the mainstream radar. Their songs are folksy and catchy and cinematically gorgeous; indeed, they contributed a song to the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack, as well as one to the audiobook recording of Augusten Burroughs' A Wolf [...]

Jeff Castelaz, the co-founder of Dangerbird Records who departed last month in an upheaval at the Silver Lake-based indie label , has been named president of Elektra Records . Castelaz's impending move to a major was reported here in September when co-founder Peter Walker (pictured at left, with Castelaz) resumed control of Dangerbird and elevated Jenni Sperandeo to president. Elektra is home to artists such as Cee Lo Green, Bruno Mars, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Ed Sheeran, Justice and Marina & the Diamonds. The imprint, a division of Warner and originally founded by the legendary Jac [...]

Jeff Castelaz, the co-founder of Dangerbird Records and a major presence on L.A. music scene since the label began in 2004, is leaving the imprint. A major shakeup at the Silver Lake-based label will see co-founder Peter Walker [pictured performing with his band Eulogies] assume control of Dangerbird. Jenni Sperandeo — who as head of promotion guided campaigns for Silversun Pickups and Fitz & the Tantrums — has been elevated to president of the label and publishing company. Multiple sources outside the company, who wish to remain anonymous, say that [...]

It's a mind-blowing list of new releases on perhaps the biggest release date of the year, so let's get started. You're going to need all the time you can get to pick these up. First up, the long-awaited second album by The xx is potentially KEXP listeners' album of the year. While it's but one of a number of hotly anticipated this year - others come from Dirty Projectors, Animal Collective, and Grizzly Bear - The xx strip down their sound to a sultry murmur, like a whisper in your ear. Oliver Sims and Romy Madley-Croft never sounded [...]

We ATH kids realize that we aren't perfect when it comes to music discovery, so it's nice when we have faithful readers that will tip us off on things we missed from time to time. This beautiful new song "Old Friend" from Sea Wolf is one of those times when we owe a debt of gratitude to one of our fans for showing us the light. It's an incredibly catchy pop number that's already seen several spins in my itunes after first downloading yesterday morning. If you like what you hear, you're in luck, because a new album [...]

"Neck of the Woods sees Silversun Pickups lighting out for the territories, stretching the boundaries of their exhilarating psychedelia with confidence, invention, and undeniable ambition. Having long made their bones as masters of widescreen power, the Los Angeles-based band’s third Dangerbird Records album takes their filmic vision to another level entirely – this is full-on IMAX rock ‘n’ roll, in stereoscopic 3D and Sensurround. From the low-frequency thrust and motorik pulsebeat that drives “Mean Spirits” to the mesmerizing first single, `Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings),` the album fairly detonates with high definition creativity". Los Angeles based Silversun [...]

The video of "Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)" starts out simple enough with the band playing in a vast desert but then it starts getting random with magical cubes and a Florence Welch look-a-like running around aimlessly. Strange. Neck Of The Woods is out now on Dangerbird Records
