Opeens was daar vanuit het niets The Raw And The Cooked , een samenwerking tussen gitarist Bill Orcutt en drummer Chris Corsano . Deze gedroomde combinatie liet vorig jaar op het podium het noordoostkust van de Verenigde Staten al kennismaken met hun agressieve kruisbestuiving van twee elementaire instrumenten. Met deze plaat op Orcutt’s label Palilalia kunnen vijfhonderd anderen dat nu ook. Ten einde het furieuze slagwerk van freestyle drummer Corsano gewicht te kunnen bieden, wijkt Orcutt enigszins af van zijn solowerken die [...]

Introducing | Lost Tapes Words by Mark Robinson There seems to be an influx of Spanish sun-kissed indie-pop making its way over to these shores at the moment. There was the gorgeous shoegaze glizz of Big Summer a few weeks ago, and now Lost Tapes are here, treading along the same path, albeit starting off with the tonally brighter sound of ‘ War in the Netherlands ’. Pure sunshine in a bottle that somehow makes the grey skies and rain outside seem pleasant (almost). [...]
Since the first time I listened to Led Zeppelin's Dazed and Confused I have been a huge fan of tracks prominently featuring drums. In many cases a drummer provides a nice back beat that helps the track along, but in the cases I'm featuring today, its a full assault on the drum kit. The kind of music that makes the listener want to make a fool of themselves by banging pencils on their desk. I may be guilty of this on occasion. Get ready for some killer drummers! Enjoy! The Ramblers - Nothin' but a [...]

Scott Paterson, co-vocalist and guitarist of Sons And Daughters, reminisces about his time in the Scottish, spectacular, and, sadly, now-defunct band.

Two local bands who recently released their debut albums — Bleached [pictured] and Cayucas — along with rapper RiFF RAFF , have been added to the lineup for the Jubilee Music & Arts Festival. They join the Drums, Black Lips, Trash Talk, Free Energy and Kitten atop the lineup for the June 7-8 event in downtown L.A. Weekend passes are $50 and available here .

Gearing up to play Camp Bisco, Jubilee Music Festival and making many stops along the way, Free Energy is thrilled to share stages with The Darkness, The Drums & The Black Lips on a national in support of their sophomore album Love Sign out now! Known for their 70s flecked bangers, epic guitar riffs, and just the right amount of cowbell, fans can get a taste of the live show by checking out the deliriously catchy “Hangin” and slowburning ballad “Dance All Night” as well as videos for cowbell-smacking album tracks “Electric Fever” and “Girls Want Rock”.

Reviews of new music from Metal Mother, Rykarda Parasol, and The Ropes.

EDM duo The-Drum have released the first single from their highly anticipated debut album, Contact , set to be released on June 25th. The new track is called "Sirens". The new album has some what of a sci-fi theme. "Basically, the album exists in a universe in which there is a multinational conglomerate. That company is called Sense Net and it is part pharma- ceutical company and part hardware/software developer... their services are something along the lines of isolation tanks with audio, visual, and chemical elements to give the user [...]
THE-DRUM make Contact; the Chicago duo announce their highly anticipated, narcotic debut full-length set for release this June. Contact out on Audragrint June 25th. The-Drum create a potent aural intoxicant by accentuating the weirdness of R&B and rap influences. Fusing sensuous atmospheres with woozy dissonance, the rising Chicago duo’s dazzling 21st century quiet storm links disparate elements and genres in an earnest fashion giving the same credence to Three 6 Mafia as Art of Noise that could only be a product of these times. Their debut full-length [...]

Since their inception, Chicago duo The-Drum have been rather unfairly grouped under the "cloud" microgenre, which seems to be applied to any remotely internet savvy act. Since catching our eye with their contribution to Haleek Maul's Oxyconteen EP, Brandon and Jeremiah have helmed R&B mega-group JODY and honed their original and remix work into a viscous blend of codeine drenched homemade percussion and contemporary R&B inferred melodies. On June 25, the duo will release their debut LP, Contact , on Portland-based label Audraglint, which we can attest will not only allow them to transcend the limiting "cloud" label, [...]
On June 25, Audraglint will bring us The-Drum 's album, Contact . First track "Sirens" eschews the usual employment of, well, sirens in songs as a crowd-pleasing device and instead gets to the matter of what sirens really signify, and the hysteria that comes along with that. Sirens don't always mean party people or "all about the wetness here. AMAZON JUNGLE RAGER" . The track is like Missy Elliott's "Get Ur Freak On" or "Work It" , minus Missy with some nibbling morse coding and the infamous Harry Potter screaming mandrakes [...]
