Hey! Remember 90s alternative radio? Remember sweet alt-rocker Duncan Sheik? If so, you probably remember this: [youtube_sc=http://youtu.be/A-oh-tP6RvA] What I remember most about Duncan Sheik is his presence in a time in which there were truly great movie soundtracks that stood alone from (and often eclipsed) their films. It was a time when there was…

Ska bands have become something of a dying breed. Sure, many of the big tentpole third wave ska and ska punk bands of the ’90s are still trucking: Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, The Mighty Might Bosstones, Bid D and the Kids Table, and Goldfinger among them. What doesn’t bode so well is…

Nashville’s brass pop ensemble Kansas Bible Company has a new record, which officially released last Saturday night during their East Nashville Underground performance. I know, I know, this is over a week old. Blame it on the tryptophan, blame it on the incessant time with the family, blame it on beer, blame it on…

Today is the day that Bonnaroo rumors really kick into full swing with the release (and sell-out minutes later) of 2013 pre-sale tickets starting at 11pm CST. We had a lot of fun and feedback from our posts last year, and were thrilled to have pretty much nailed the headliners early on. So, given…

At only 25, Wiz Khalifa has already had more career accomplishments than many artists twice his age- 4 studio albums, 2 collaborative albums, a dozen mixtapes, a top 10 album, five top 10 singles, associations with legends like Snoop Dogg and members of Wu-Tang Clan, and his own successful record label/collective Taylor Gang. What’s…

Sorry we’re a little late with the New Release Spotlight this week. The holidays are kind of a music industry deadzone so I really wanted to dig deep and give a lot of bands I wasn’t as familiar with a chance. I hope you’ll do the same! Bust out those Thanksgiving leftovers and give…

David Bazan was the driving force and primary songwriter behind the band Pedro the Lion. Since the “break-up” in January of 2006, Bazan’s music under his own moniker has been resolutely great and probably liberating. However, in order to celebrate the vinyl re-issues of Pedro The Lion’s back-catalog and the 10th Anniversary of the band’s…

It’s Black Friday which means that we are exhausted after waiting in line elbowing old ladies outside of Wal Mart last night to get a sweet deal on some electronics. We still can’t believe we were all able to pool our money to get that USB Thumb Drive for only $5. It was totally…

Japandroids (or JPNDRDS as I used to always see it stylized- whatever happened to that?) are a bit of an accident. The Canadian garage/noise rock duo had effectively called it quits before their debut album, Post-Nothing, had even seen a proper release. When the record not only saw a wide release, but was critically revered,…
