Two thousand and eleven has been an odd year for me, and I think for music as well. Between acclimating to a completely different environment and being fully immersed in the music world, I foresaw a serious evolution and transformation of my music tastes prior to compiling my "Best of" lists. After the completion of said lists, it seems that not much has actually changed - not only in the last year, but the last five, when observing which names were included. To be honest, it was quite difficult to decide on 10 full albums I really [...]
Facebook / veronicafalls.com/ Today saw the release of the digital version of Veronica Falls debut self-titled LP, the Glasgow / London four-piece have an incredible knack of writing infectious, bittersweet guitar pop songs which on the surface are beautiful, harmony-laden songs but are often deceptively upbeat, laced with lyrics of a macabre, sinister nature. Unsettling undercurrents run throughout with tracks about one of the UK's 'favourite' suicide spots "Beachy Head", to romancing a ghost on "Found Love in a Graveyard" (the album version is given a gloss of paint and [...]
Inez van Lambsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin Relatively quiet since 20072s Volta , Bjork is finally back with a new album... I think. To be honest, the press releases around her new project Biophilia haven't exactly been designed for quick parsing, and that's because the album component of Biophilia is just that - a component. There will be a conventional album, presumably available in CD and LP formats, that is due out this Fall - September 27 is the presumed but unofficial release date. [...]
My old college roommate, Drew, is no stranger to accidents. In the short time that I lived with him there was the badly sprained wrist from roller skating around the kitchen while drinking hard liquor, the sword cut from trying to put Sam's blade into his pants leg and the music video where he walked into the street and got hit by a cab (probably the funniest video I've ever seen). But none of these compare to Drew's latest and greatest misadventure. It seems that Drew, after our apartment on Belmont Avenue was condemned, relocated to India so that he [...]
I Let's Wrestle sono un po' come il tipo nella vostra compagnia che continua a ripetere le battute delle scuole medie anche se siete ormai padri di famiglia, e tutti vi guardate un po' in imbarazzo. Ecco i Let's Wrestle sono i miei campioni dell'imbarazzo, per un attimo li vorrei abbracciare, e un attimo dopo mi sembrano dei piccoli sbandati punk che non vorrei mai incontrare la sera nella stazione della metro. I Let's Wrestle sono tutti i maglioni sbagliati che tua madre ti comprava da bambino e tu quando uscivi sentivi che c'era qualcosa che non andava. [...]
Okay so it's Saturday now, but, like, whatever. Here's the weekly round-up videos by London-based musicians: Get People - Away ( mp3 ) Some alt-pop - intense, interesting and a little tropical - from the London trio - heralding the imminent arrival of their sophomore EP release Rain Tears.

Our top 25 band names of 2011 (so far...) really made us smirk just reading them. As we mentinoed in our 25-50 best band names, band-name creativity is something that will be the band's trademark. Sure, the band could break up, dive off in a different direction and create a whole new pseudonym. But a band name lives on forever and depending on the band's stardom, becomes a household name. Just as we all have done in the past (and still do), creating a band name is almost as much fun as making the music itself. These bands [...]
Frank Yang Ask me my dream festival lineup (within the realm of possibility) and I might well submit the four-block that was Primavera Friday night – you had The National as possibly my favourite act currently going and at the top of their game, Belle & Sebastian from the hall of all-time favorites, Explosions In The Sky to represent for my ambient/post-rock proclivities and as the hook - the mandatory reunion act - let's say… Pulp . And this, in a nutshell, was why I was in Spain. [...]
Sean's Top 11 Albums of 2011
Here are my obtuse meanderings vis-a-vis the best records of the year. Please forgive my inanity. 11. Let's Wrestle – Nursing Home Nouveau '90s rock was to 2011 what dance punk revivalism was to 2001. And of all the bands channeling classic slackercore this year, Let's Wrestle did it the best. 10. Russian Circles – Empros I'll be honest, I'm not a huge fan of instrumental rock — particularly metal. After all, it usually involves more noodling than a Pauls [...]

Interview: Let's Wrestle
Click here to view the embedded video. MP3: Let's Wrestle - Dear John While the indie/DIY scene continues to over saturate itself day after day with "really cool bands", I can't help but feel that most of these bands are missing the point. These days you can be hard pressed to find artists putting more effort into the quality of their music than their general aesthetic. Thankfully, gems like London-based Let's Wrestle (vocalist/guitarist Wesley Patrick Gonzalez, bassist Sam Pillay and [...]
"Sausage Gnocchi" with Pesto and Fresh Vegetables
My old college roommate, Drew, is no stranger to accidents. In the short time that I lived with him there was the badly sprained wrist from roller skating around the kitchen while drinking hard liquor, the sword cut from trying to put Sam's blade into his pants leg and the music video where he walked into the street and got hit by a cab (probably the funniest video I've ever seen). But none of these compare to Drew's latest and greatest misadventure. It seems that Drew, after our apartment on Belmont Avenue was condemned, relocated to India so that he [...]

New Releases: David Bazan, Cave In, Boris
This week's biggest releases, of course, are the new David Bazan and Cave In (who I finally saw Saturday at Krazy Fest). What badass records! On top of that, there's stuff from Boris . We've also got some vinyl singles from Against Me! (who I saw Friday at Krazy Fest) and Battles . Other than that, I just see a handful of things that I'm sort of interested in, but not interested enough to mention. Also, I officially like Let's Wrestle now, since everyone told me [...]
Let's Wrestle – Nursing Home album review
If you're in the twenty-something to thirty-something age range and are in the mood for a bit of nostalgia, check out Nursing Home , the sophomoric release from London's Let's Wrestle. From the moment you hit play, visions of the nineties' second half will ring through your head—Weezer, Green Day, No Use For a Name, even some of the earlier Blink 182 is in there. Producer Steve Albini's characteristically minimalist recording style and pushed back vocal tracks works well with the bands unpretentious pop riffs, and we hear a sound that would have fit onto those [...]
best lyrics ever!
Let's Wrestle just released their second record, Nursing Home this past week and the opening song, "In Dreams Part II" has by far one of the best lines ever: "In my dreams there were Pokemon beating me up, I punched Pigeoto right in the face..." Be sure to check out the hilarious 11-page comic book by singer-songwriter Wesley Patrick Gonzalez!
Let's Wrestle Celebrate New Album By Releasing Twisted, Online Comic Book
Filed under: News , Book Club , New Releases Roger Kisby, Getty Images It used to be that when you released a new album, you'd throw an album release party. Or have a midnight sale. Or just, you know, play the first single on all the late-night talk shows. And it's not that Let's Wrestle wouldn't love to hit the talk show circuit, but frontman Wesley Patrick Gonzalez (pictured) celebrated the band's newest release, 'Nursing [...]
