Looking over the list of albums slated for release in the new few months, it’s hard not to get overly giddy - 2012 is going to be a great year for music. Several bands that made names for themselves with wildly inventive and successful debuts are putting forth their sophomore efforts this year. The all-important follow-up album can be tricky, though, especially when an artist has made such a unique statement with their debut - I'm definitely eager to hear how these musicians have adapted their sound.

Rose Chaffee-Cohen via Smooth Atonal Sound If I count the dozens of times I have listened to the numerous NPR recordings of Fleet Foxes' shows - in Austin , at the Newport Folk Festival and in Washington D.C. - I might have thought that I had an idea of what their performance at the Williamsburg Waterfront on Saturday would be like. My expectations of and optimism for their performance were such that it would have been easy to have been disappointed, but after their final song, I was left [...]
Graphics credit: Dylan Clancy Austin City Limits is a beast of a festival. Everything from the park to the amount of food to, of course, the headliners are larger than life. For three days we baked in the sun (except that one day of light rain, which was awesome), waited in giant crowds to see show after show and had a spectacular time. ACL is a huge festival that runs like clockwork - there are no infinitely long sound checks and no bands that [...]
As we get ourselves ready for the end of summer and the bone-crushing cold that comes with the change of season, it’s time to focus important things like family, friends, and getting heavily intoxicated while listening to one spectacular band after another - you know, the important things. So it is with great joy in our hearts that we pack up our things and ship out to Austin for one of our last festivals of the year, the illustrious Austin City Limits . In order to properly prepare our psyches (and yours) for the [...]
I may not be at Glastonbury this year, and will in fact be playing that wonderfully English game of cricket over the weekend instead, but that doesn't mean you should miss out on the BBC's live coverage of pretty much everything that is going on in the fields of mud. If you're near a digital radio or anything with an internet connection then here are some highlights of what 6Music has on offer to get yours ears around: Saturday 1pm - 2pm - Steve Lamacq has Warpaint and Two [...]

20. Coliseum - House With a Curse I've always admired the tenacity and purity of Coliseum's thunderous breakneck hardcore, but I've never been sold on its lasting impact. The effects were always brutally immediate; once the band's blistering locomotive rage barreled through your speakers, there was never much left to remember it by. House With a Curse doesn't stray too far from the group's core aesthetic—it's still loud, raw and fierce as fuck—but it embraces the once subtle sludgy stoner rock qualities of the band's music and pushes them further to the forefront.

So. It's that time where we decide to rank our children and tell which ones are our favorites. It can't be good for their selfestime but damnit, it makes us feel good. 10.

Avi Buffalo - [...]
As I prepare to broach the subject of 20102s best cover songs, please keep in mind that I am quite picky about cover songs. I generally hate cover songs, as a matter of fact. I've even had arguments with commenters about the fact that I hate to be introduced to a new band via cover song. Look through the blog archives and you will discover that there are very, very few covers that we, uhhh, covered. That being said, I never stated that I didn't appreciate when a cover was done right. Quite the contrary! The fact [...]

Swells
Swells are a quartet residing in San Francisco. Their self-titled debut EP is a collection of laid-back indie-rock with relaxing West Coast vibes akin to The Morning Benders and Surfer Blood. The EP is packed with four varied and exciting songs that should appeal to most rock fans, especially if they’re fans of The Walkmen

If you weren’t in Hoboken this past Sunday, you missed a great live performance. The Walkmen played for free as part of the hMag Music Fest 2011.

Harvest Festival 2011 Lineup
Take the line-up of your typical European multi day event, cut out the filler and the acts that everyone has seen once too many times and pack all the greatness into one incredible day for discerning music lovers. TV on The Radio, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Mogwai are just a few bands added to an already impressive lineup of local and international acts. The Lineup: The Flaming Lips Portishead TV on the Radio Clap Your Hands Say Yeah The National Mogwai [...]
Friday Top 5: Mix Tape Closers
That’s right, I said mix TAPE. The days of sitting in front of a boombox waiting for a song to come on the radio may be over, but I refuse to say “Mix CD” or to refer to a “digital playlist.” Too many syllables. Just doesn’t roll off the tongue like “mix tape.” Yeah, I know a while back ATH ran a “Top 5 Album Closers” list, but this is different. Because I added the whole “mix tape” angle. So it’s totally not the same thing. You’re buying this right? What’s that? You don’t give a [...]

The Elliots
The Elliots evade traditional Swedish pop stereotyping, exchanging key-led twinkles and exuberant string-soaked choruses for moody ambience. The strings and keys remain, as seem the Swedish custom, but are presented with bleaker and darker tones that rely more on evolving moods than receptive hooks. On their new album Love|Decay, producer Charles Storm helped the Gothenburg-based [...]

Art Imperial
Like perhaps the most famous of surf-rock innovators (Brian Wilson), Arthur C. Imperial does not surf. Rather, the sights and sounds of witnessing the act provide ample room for his musical talents to emerge. The Toronto-based Art Imperial depicts his swirling mixture of surf-rock and alternative aptly on the new Surf Suburban EP; a sky-blue [...]

FEATURE: New York Rock in The Years to Be Hated
Squabbles and footnotes aside, in the pages of history books and The FADER, New York rock in the 21st century began with the Strokes. Of course the Strokes always evoked New York rock of the 20th Century, but that was kind of the point. The band captured the city’s borrowed nostalgia for a time when [...]
