Dads is a pretty anarchic-sounding garage rock band from Florida that includes members of the band Merchandise. Although there is very little information about them available online (including which members of the latter group actually ... read more
With ‘The Great Glass Elephant’ Eidola presents an honest, rewarding and spiritual debut album with music divided in 12 versatile tracks, full of emotions. - By Ruud Peters
Following a historic hip-hop superjam on Friday night at Bonnaroo curated by RZA, the following evening's superjam was led by My Morning Jacket frontman Jim [...]
Brooklyn based folk quintet Whale Belly will release their second album I Was Once A Bird this autumn. The first focus track Bubbles In My Blood proudly bears the imprint of traditional folk music but steadfastly refuses to conform to expectations - the song boasts a big band sound, but it’s soft and gentle, and the violin adds a classical element that contrasts sweetly with the naggingly insistent high-pitched guitar riffs. The result is something with time-honoured undertones, but also with an original and imaginative contemporary feel. Recommended. Download it [...]
Scottish art-rockers Franz Ferdinand return with their new album, 'Right Thoughts, Right Words, Right Action,' on August 27th via Domino Record and noow have announced a string [...]
Centimeter , hailing from Stockholm, was formed in 2004 and released their first album "Mellanrum" in 2006. Then they sang in Swedish, but now, tomorrow to be more specific, they released their second album "703 with only English lyrics. A first taste of the album is available, the song "Motorhead", a piece of pop/rock with a comfortable atmosphere, a little in the direction of Coldplay. Centimeter's site - on Facebook - on Spotify - on Wimp - on Rara - on Soundcloud [...]
I featured Race The Flux on the blog back in April, when they released 'I Am Animation', an exhilarating six minutes of punchy rock. Things don't get much shorter on 'Siren', but the band keep them just as exciting. The Galway four piece take their time getting into the track, creating a System of a [...]
We heard from The Last Monroes a while back with the release of Live From The Barn, a great introduction to what they’re all about. The Wicklow duo (of Simon Quinn and Konrad Sheane) are back with a new video for 'Underneath the Streetlight', directed by Shane Doyle. 'Underneath the Streetlight' is a supercharged blast of heavy blues riffage, a serious [...]
Weekender 2010 was the first time I saw The Bicycle Days (TBD) live. It was the debut year of the festival and I was pleased with the student-friendly ticket price. With the opportunity to watch nearly 50 Indian bands (including Zero ) spread over three days, one couldn’t complain. TBD was slotted at the Hard Rock Cafe stage at the festival. Finally, it was time to hear stuff from 42 , the band's debut EP, live. The band played a great set; negligible banter and zero stage antics. I remember the guitarist (Rahul Ranganath) [...]
The rather brilliantly named Imps Of Perversion is the title of Pop. 12802s follow up long player to The Horror . The first taste is the depraved, bad-trip sonics of Lights Out - all jagged, needling punk guitars and brutal RATM style vocals. Needless to say we're enormously fond of it already. Consider it the musical equivalent of keeping one mighty pissed monster in the basement - who has just discovered the door has been left unlocked... Have a listen - scare the neighbours. Follow [...]
Originaire de Perth, Pond est un collectif mouvant de musiciens articulé autour des membres de Tame Impala auxquels viennent se greffer Joseph Ryan des Mink Mussel Creek et Jamie Terry de The Silents. Après avoir fait très forte impression avec leur quatrième album Beard, Wives, Denim sortie l'an dernier, où ils perpétuaient avec brio la grande tradition du rock australien, ils dévoilaient en février dernier, Giant Tortoise -que l'on peut écouter sur notre playlist #4, ici [...]
"Bring me three poison arrows/ Long, straight and narrow" enigmatic Californian desert denizen Life Leone snarls on his suitably intoxicating début number Is This Love, Go With The Flow keys wrestling with clunky guitars and a chorus a moustachioed Nevadan Mormon would surely kill for all the while. It's a stirring introduction to an as yet ambiguous someone with a quite inimitable story to tell: born in Laos to American volunteers, he's travelled the seven seas playing on boards crept by everyone from Black Sabbath to Bruno Mars in bands spanning stoner-rock to power-pop , though never previously [...]
We're extremely excited to announce the release of Tangled Star's fantastic new album Let's Adjourn To The Garden . The album is available in limited edition CD and digital formats (FLAC + MP3) with all CD orders through Hidden Shoal coming with an immediate download of the album (FLAC or MP3). You can stream and purchase the album now at the Hidden Shoal Store and also download the brilliant first single ‘Head In The Sand’. “They make me think of some of Flying Nun’s kiwi poppers, and [...]
Review: Lady Lamb The Beekeper / Torres I will open this by stating that prior to seeing Aly Spaltro perform live at Pub Rock on Friday, June 14, I wasn’t too exposed to her. So perhaps it’s a little unfair to say that I was absolutely swooned by this girl. While I’ll admit that her recorded persona is already commanding and cinematic, to experience Lady Lamb is to see her live. It almost seemed like you’re just hanging out with your friend, drinking a beer, and listening to her jam. [...]
Cool Ghouls klingen mit ihrer Musik, eine trashige Low-Fi-Variante, charmant und nie antiquiert. Das Material auf der selbstbetitelten LP verspricht allerdings ein kurzweiliges Vergngen. 10 knackige, kurzweilige und punktgenaue Gitarrensongs zwischen The Troggs, The Monks und Sir Douglas Quintet sind der Band aus San Francisco gelungen. Die Bezeichnung "The Rock´n´Roll Monkees", in Anlehnung an die Sixties-Heroen The Monkees, ist da schon treffender. Leiden muss darunter aber niemand - es ist eben einfacher Bubblegum-Pop. Cool Ghouls - Natural Life [...]
Byegone is the first single from Repave , the second album by Wisconsin band Volcano Choir , out on Jagjaguwar on September Previously known as much for being a collaboration between a certain Justin Vernon and the experimental rock leanings of Collections Of Colonies Of Bees , it has been four years since the release of their debut Unmap. However, to these ears, Byegone perhaps trumps anything on that record. It is a hypnotic and twisting anthem that rises and churns like the sea, and calls to mind [...]

It seems to us that The Blood Arm are one of those bands who simply never quite get the kudos and appreciation that they deserve. The most cursory listen to their back catalogue reveals some real gems of glam inspired indie, art-rock cool and new wave swagger. Heck they even followed Bowie's and Iggy's footsteps and decamped to Berlin for a while. Hopefully that may change with the release of their fourth long player Infinite Nights , which is out now via RIP Ben Lee Records. The album retains the influences of before, but if first [...]

Before the realms of The Twilight Zone, Twin Peaks and the Bermuda Triangle were contemplating the idea of creating a spawn from the DNA chromosomes of Kardashian and West, that fictional dream was only the thought of unreality and folklore. Now that those idealistic threads have been shattered into the grains of non-fiction, we can only shudder to pre-empt the fallout from what this newly born pressure will add to such an inexpressive, unmarried unity of categoric characterless fibre. Cralias’ rescues Mr West from further tales of self- delusion by incorporating a lengthy time-stretched vocal re-touch and some [...]
