I wasn't familiar with The Big Sleep . But I was curious to listen to their third album "Nature Experiments" ( French Kiss Records ) which drops on January 31, 2012. From what I read, they are a band from Brooklyn, New York. The band consist of: Sonya Balchandani (bass/vocals) Danny Barria (guitar/vocals) Gabe Rhodes (drums) If you are into the indie progressive rock, then you should check them out. I was blown away listening to [...]
The story behind RACES, the band who brought us Big Broom EP [Frenchkiss Records], is a poignant one, and the kind that always makes music better. RACES exists as a result of artistic rebirth and personal rediscovery, but it all started at a point in Wade Ryff's life where motivation was at its ...

[photo courtesy of JeremyEye ] About midway through the Antlers show at Webster Hall last night, I took a stroll around the venue just to try to take it all in. The 1200+ capacity venue was literally packed to the walls - it wasn't an easy stroll. But the take-away is that this band can fill a venue of this size on a busy Friday night when concert-goers had many other choices. In the Antlers biggest ever show in NYC, the band delivered the goods. It was a ninety-minute set limited only in [...]

Fresh off the excellent release of New Heaven , Pittsburgh's 1 2 3 are back with a brand new single, and with that single, they'll be offering you two brand new tracks. As of right now, I'm pretty sure you can grab these tracks from the band's site for free, so you'll need to get your hands on these new jams. However, the single itself is for "Scared but Not That Scared," which is one of the standout tracks you'll find on the record. It's got this cutting [...]

If you have been reading my site for the last 6 years (WOW. 6 YEARS!) You know how thoroughly obsessed I am with both The Dodos and Neko Case . Finally FINALLY I got to see the pairing in action as The Dodos performed "Dont Try And Hide It" last night on Jimmy Fallon with assistance from the firey songstress. My only gripe is Neko Case sat down for the entire performance! Watch the performance at STEREOGUM and enjoy a free download of "So Cold." MP3: The [...]

(together) acts as a B-side remix of tracks off Burst Apart rerecorded with some of their very talented friends.

New York rock'n'roller Devin Therriault has been locked up in the studio for almost a year, but it sounds like it was worth it. He just signed with Frenchkiss Records and released his first official EP, "You're Mine". The record is a mixed bag of guitar-driven vintage rock and vocally-drenched classic punk with a little rockabilly thrown in. So what did we get when we seal the bag, shake it up, and reach inside for a taste? At first bite something familiar, then a crescendo of surprising flavors, which left us at the peak of an unexpected aftertaste, [...]
