Church Of The Very Bright Lights

Ever wonder what the band Women would sound like…as a different band? Me neither, but now we don’t have to! Church Of The Very Bright Lights, out of Calgary, is James Cullen, backed by Chris Reimer on drums and Matt Flegel (of Women) on bass.

Church Of The Very Bright Lights recently finished […]

[MP3] The Good Natured: “Prisoner”

The phenomenon of young artists getting more air time is nothing new. But rarely do we stumble upon a teenager who evokes such raw emotion as Sarah McIntosh (aka The Good Natured), a 19-year-old Brit. She’ll be releasing her second single, “My Animal”, November 1 via KIDS, and is teasing/pleasing us with the […]

eskimeaux

Welcome eskimeaux, aka Gabby Smith, to our lineup of new, mystery acts. Her email contained a link to her album, I Am A Spiral, and basically nothing else. Seriously. I could have explored more in depth and provided you with some background, but oftentimes intrigue catches our ears the most.

The music has a […]

[MP3] Kurran And The Wolfnotes: “Here To Fill You In”

Feel like Déjà vu? Well don’t worry…it kind of is. I posted a track by the catchy Brit studs (and lady) Kurran And The Wolfnotes less than a month ago, and now they’re back with more in “Here To Fill You In”. It doesn’t get quite as loud or uproarious as “Your Four […]

[Abby’s Road] Micol Cazzell

I’d be lying if I told you I never wanted to be in a band. I rarely talk about it as my talents are pretty basic. That…and I’d run the risk of the actual musicians I know snorting at me with disdain upon admitting such information. I can read music and play the […]

[MP3] Arran Arctic: “Interrupt Me”

Mr. Arran Arctic‘s new free single, the second off of his forthcoming full length, In My Hands, is titled “Interrupt Me”. It sees the cool, calm and collected Southall add some extra spice with slowly building electronica, creating a cathartic effect. You liking the new Arctic or do you miss his old, instrumental and […]
