After a four-year hiatus in which the members of Chicago indie rock band The Hush Sound parted ways in order to embark on other musical endeavors, 2013 proves to be the time in which the band members find themselves back together again and bringing fans what they've been waiting for-new music and the hope of a new full-length. We chatted with the radiant Greta Salpeter (vocals/piano) regarding the band's endeavors, influences, and why the hiatus was necessary. We recommend you catch them Saturday night (6/8) at the Grog Shop. [...]

Like a poor man's Weezer, who instead of making a wrong turn at Beverly Hills, found themselves down in skid row, JEFF the Brotherhood not only understand the irony of a couple of everymen cranking out rock anthems, they embrace it. It was evident when brothers Jake (guitar) and Jamin (drums) Orrall anonymously took the Grog Shop stage with sheepish grins, Jamin dressed all in white with a Grateful Dead t-shirt and a conservative hair cut, Jake in black, with a sleeveless metal shirt and long, stringy hair. And even more evident once the brothers cranked out "Heavy [...]

We get it. The snowy weather has you down, and you're just plain tired of clearing off your car and driving fifteen miles per hour under the speed limit on your way to work. Really, we understand. We're tired, too. What we need is something that's going to take us from frigid to cheerful as fast as the weather changes here in Northeast Ohio. Dripping with a washy and infectious sound layered with direct, exposed vocals, the Australian four-piece San Cisco is sure to warm up our cold Cleveland hearts tonight at the [...]

Rockers, The I Rock Cleveland Headquarters has been without power since Wednesday morning. Expect updates to be as scarce as a First Energy line truck in Cleveland until that time the juice comes back. They say, most of not all power should be restored to customers in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County by Monday. Really, I should have seen this coming. Tuesday, afternoon, I bragged about storm chasing, and how despite the danger, I actually, kinda liked playing the CNN newsman with the short straw, dumped in a storm for a day. Tuesday night, I chatted away, [...]

★★★★ “Time,” the new single by Cleveland indie band Above The Atlantic, represents both a reinforcement of the strengths they established with their eponymous 2010 debut album , and the addition of some new features to their sound. The boys of ATA play to their strong sense of blending, with the guitar, bass and drums fitting together to make a strong backdrop for the lead vocals, with the instrumentation's variation making the music as interesting to listen to as the words. The Beach Boys-inspired harmonies on the chorus nicely [...]

Notes from last night's Ohio Rock spectacular in no particular order (I feel like I drank 1,000 beers last night, so give me a little leeway, you guys): * I'm not what most would call a believer. More times than not, religion, and the things people do in the name of religion revolt me. Yet, late in Guided by Voices marathon set, lead singer Robert Pollard made a convincing argument regarding the existence of a higher power as he recounted an experience he had as a youth when Jesus said to him, "Bobby, play rock and [...]
