That one should be out by the summer and is coming together really well. Raw and K have recorded over 20 tracks and are gonna select the best of the best for the final project. - RedDefinition [...]

Down Title s TBC Roadrunner Records ETA Summer 2012 What They're Saying Well, it's a bit of a cheat to call this an "album preview" - as what Down have got slated for release in 2012 isn't an album, but the first in a series of four EPs. The band have set [...]
Avan Lava is a project from NYC ft lead singer TC (Tom Hennes) and producers/musicians Le Chev (Narcisse, Fischerspooner) and Ian Pai (Blue Man Group, Fischerspooner) .

This EP is a collection of collaborations and remixes with people like Jordan Lee from Mutual Benefit , Lady Lazarus , and more. Supermoon Crashed surprisingly melds these two totally different forms of making music. Erik's thoughtful [...]

[NEW EP] Beacon - No Body Every week I get a beautiful email from Ghostly's listening service Drip.fm . It's currently in beta, but I would highly suggest requesting an invite. About a month ago they sent me over this gorgeous EP and I'm sad to say I haven't had the chance to write about it even though I've been listening non-stop. I think "Exhale" is my favorite track, but the whole EP is perfection from start to finish. Beacon is currently on tour with another Ghostly artist who I'm sure you've heard all [...]

Photo credits Neza S.G. Mark your calendars, folks. Friday the 13th and we have our first great song of 2012. Darla is a new Minneapolis four-piece, risen from the ashes of longtime MOKB-faves, The 757s, who surely burned out, because I think I would've remembered them fading away. The good-lookin' half of that aforementioned unit (Paul Pirner and Jimmy Peterson) have joined forces with local vets Mike Wisti and John Crist, and if the low wine of their four song debut EP, Drive Around The [...]
