The Good Natured covers Sufjan Stevens

Why not listen to a lovely Friday cover of the real Sufjan Stevens (“For The Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti”)? I kid, I kid. Sorta.

[MP3] Hands: “Brave Motion”

“Brave Motion”, coming to you live, hot off the press!

It’s only fitting that the day after our second birthday comes a new MP3 from an artist that has been a staple of our existence. Like Balmorhea, I’ve exhausted many a word on our LA buds Hands, and they’re not really the type of band […]

Hey! It’s Knox Road’s second birthday!

Ohhhhh the memories! I remember when I wrote the very first KR post exactly two years ago about Tokyo Police Club’s appearance on Desperate Housewives. Wasn’t that a gas! Well I stopped watching that shitty show because I realized that no number of indie band cameos can save a sinking plot and ridiculous […]

Mixed emotions: The Golden Filter remix The Morning Benders’ “Excuses”

I love The Golden Filter, I really do. Their new album wasn’t the best or anything but I enjoyed it very much! The Morning Benders, on the other hand, are a band I love who happened to make one of the best albums I’ve heard in a very long time. The gem of […]

Wavves and Best Coast make Christmas song for Target compilation

Yes, by Target I mean that store that sells lots of everyday items for low (LOW!) prices (full disclosure: I buy all my kitchen things there). The megastore is releasing a free Christmas album that features a surprising mix of artists including Blackalicious, Bishop Allen, Crystal Antlers, Best Coast/Wavves and, UGHHH, Guster. The […]

Billy Corgan reignites feud with Pavement if anybody still cares

Hey remember back in 1994 when Pavement released the song “Range Life” on their superb album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain? And remember how the lyrics “Out on tour with the Smashing Pumpkins / Nature kids, (I)they don’t have a function / I don’t understand what they mean / And I could really give a […]

Zach Hurd

Zach Hurd is a Brooklyn based singer/songwriter who makes acoustic pop that straddles the line between mainstream and atypical. He has sugary vocals and simple guitar tones to work the mass appeal but adds unusual harmonies and a variety of backing noises.

Hurd released a full-length album, Changing Landscapes, earlier this year. Unfortunately, […]

Oak Island

A mere 339 plays on Last.fm…and the music is actually really good! Oak Island, aka Jeff Zito, is the kind of artist I’m more than willing to post about.

A musician, writer (check out his blog, “Eating A Hobo”, here), and apparent cat-lover (check out his Bandcamp pics…) based out of Queens, New York, […]
