If, like TGTF, one finds oneself at a loose end in London on the evening of the first Sunday of the month, then there's only one place to be. Communion is a monthly new music showcase held at the subterranean sweatbox of the Notting Hill Arts Club, which has hosted many a band early in their meteoric rise to fame. All but one performer tonight were new to TGTF, which begs the question: which of them will continue to grace these pages, and which will vanish into the musical ether with nary a footnote in the history [...]

Newcastle Italo-popppers MAUSI's new single "Move" is synth pop realised at its highest level. The summer-in-the-bleak-midwinter feel of "Move" is boosted up by a veritable sundrenched blitz ("sundrenched blitz" yeah, we just took it there.) of hooks and melody. The "Move" single is due 4th March on the Loose Lips label (Azari and III & Chad Valley). MAUSI - Move Mausi ( Official ) Rating 8.4

Continuing my trend of writing about sibling acts , here I declare you ought to spend Sunday night with Jessica Lea Mayfield and her brother, David Mayfield , courtesy of Lightning 100. The Mayfields are a fine example of the great interconnectedness of all music happenings in and around this town of ours. In addition to having lived in Music City there are numerous local ties with these two. After performing in her family’s bluegrass band with brother, David, Jessica Lea Mayfield was “discovered” via home recordings by now Nashville resident, Dan Auerbach of The [...]

6am Repeat is a recurring feature here at Folk Hive in which we stream the latest track that plays incessantly in the earbuds when we awake at that hour and imbibe massive amounts of coffee and cigarettes in preparation for the advancing day. Consider it your jam of the day — a sweet, sweet gift from me to you. I love you, dude. You intake what you're able before its past, An experience here as well as there will [...]
I was delighted when the offer to check out He's My Brother She's My Sister was tossed my way, and, truth be told, a little embarrassed. How had I not heard them before? I gotta’ step up my game. I'm a sucker for sibling acts (Secret Sisters, Tegan and Sara, The Breeders) even when they're fiction (The White Stripes). Plus I do love me some snapping and a good old-fashioned sing-along, so you can bet that I was shaking it to this little ditty all morning... He's My Brother She's My Sister is one of those bands like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Nashville's Kopecky Family Band, [...]

Da lese ich, das Lorena B eine Post-Dubstep aus London, England sei. Bei Dubsteb und ganz gewiss bei Post-Dubstep muss ich passen. Kenne ich nicht, haben wir nicht, kriegen wir auch nicht rein. Ich hre mir Lorena B und die Songs "Swallow my Gum" und "I am Something". Gefllt. In ihrem Heimatland sollen sie recht beliebt sein. Ich mag die Stimme, die von Electronica domminierten Songs, die schnen, rauschenden Melodien. Man knnte auch sagen, hier handelt es sich um eine Menge elektronischer Beats, eine tanzbarer, poppiger Post-Rock Variante mit schnen, schmachtend / wispernden Gesang. Lorena B, das sind zwei Knpfendreher [...]

I am still trying to wrap my head around the entire EDM scene. Why is dubstep even more popular than the traditional indie rock that I listen to? It confuses me, but I guess I understand that young people don't want to listen to the same stuff that cool dads listen to. As much as I'd like to convince myself that indie rock is the best music on the planet, I have to be more tolerant when it comes to emerging generational gaps. I am not young any more. Why do I feel this fraternal instinct for [...]

and your amazing mother then raised you all - 9 kids. How did she do it?" "She had a very strong faith. Umm - She taught us to still love life and not be bitter - and to realize that everyone suffers - and if you can accept your suffering, then you'll just understand other people better and - and - strangely enough you have to be - grateful for pain." youth lagoon - the hunt

Big Nils is a Massachusetts punk band that, at least for the time being, will be best known because its singer is one Coco Gordon Moore - the teenage daughter of Sonic Youth co-leaders Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon. Read more »
If you pay attention to White Mystery 's music and responses during interviews, one would get the impression that brother and sister rock duo Alex and Francis White have a very good sense of humor. The sibling's latest video for the song "Birthday" debuted on MTV Hive's website yesterday afternoon. In the video for the Blood & Venom track, the pair plan a fairly unconventional birthday party. Alex and Francis start by eating cake in the park playground and proceed to rock the fuck out in a [...]

It has been a minute since we last spoke. School started up for Kevin and me, which has thrown a monkeywrench in our blogosphere involvement. I'm still pursuing an advanced degree and am still someone's parent. All those things are huge time suckers. To be perfectly honest, I've listened to this more in the last month than anything else. (Aside: parents in the readership understand my pain on that one. If you throw in the Tilly and the Wall ABC song and the wide array of Elmo related bullshit, it's a miracle [...]

Rest In Peace Ralfy (A Siblings Lament) Ft Aaron Olivas Bhonstro - A True Artist July 14, 2011. Our beloved brother Ralfy Ollivas was gunned down by Las Vegas Metro Police. He was in no way suicidal, and wouldn't have hurt anyone. This EP is a tribute to my fallen comrade, brother, best friend, and influence in life. It is a collection of songs that he recorded in 07-09, and a few extras that I added in (instrumentals, etc.). We love you Ralfy Olivas! You were [...]
