 Leave a comment | The title says all you need to know. Everything else will be the same! From Walk-In Records: As you may or may not know by now, there’s a new show out there called Magic City. I’d love to tell you that the show details the adventures of an amazing band from Chicago but I’d be lying. [...] [...] April 16th, 2012 | Tags: chicago, Magic City, Sister Crystals, Walk-In Records | Category: News |
Leave a comment | Why is it so much harder these days to find legitimately bouncy pop rock that we don’t have to get all depressed / mellowed out by? I mean, don’t get me wrong, mellow is my THING, but it gets old. I’ve said it a few times here before, but we all need some pep in [...] [...] April 5th, 2012 | Tags: chicago, Jack Greenleaf, NYC, Pop, Rock, Sharpless | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3 |
Leave a comment | After much blog success with their first couple singles, Tiger Waves (the Chicago/Austin duo) are back with “I Hope You’ll Feel Alright,” a lulling, soft pop tune with easy, falsetto vocals. If this song doesn’t calm your nerves and make you at peace, then you may be in more trouble than you’re letting on. “I [...] [...] December 12th, 2011 | Tags: Austin, chicago, Indie Pop, Tiger Waves | Category: MP3 |
Leave a comment | Oh, to be young and melancholic. And so raw that it’s just right. Lyndsay Holm – “Weeping Willow” [MP3] Holm is a musician and photographer based outside of Chicago.

Leave a comment | It’s time to break the bad news to Best Coast. Ok, here goes. Best Coast, there is a band in Chicago that does your sound better than you. Don’t get me wrong, you guys are great. You’ve got an excellent vocalist, great songs, the whole package. The fact is, Chicago duo Magic City is better. [...] [...] October 3rd, 2011 | Tags: chicago, Dream pop, lo-fi, Magic City | Category: Artist Profiles, Stream |
One comment | Tiger Waves, technically based out of Austin, is a duo (James and Reid) that began their music by sharing sounds across the internet. James was in Austin and Reid was in Chicago. As we’ve seen before, more bands are attempting this technique of cross-country, or even international, music making, and why not? Yes, there’s something [...] [...] August 9th, 2011 | Tags: Austin, chicago, MP3, Pop, Surf Rock, Tiger Waves | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3 |
Leave a comment | So, I’ve had to listen to my fair share of lo-fi over the past few years or so as I’ve become a music “blogger” and the scene has changed to hype the bedroom rock stars. I used to really dislike the sound; why would I listen to such raspy music when I could hear higher [...] [...] April 5th, 2011 | Tags: chicago, folk, lo-fi, MP3, Pop, The Pear Traps | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
Leave a comment | Tape labels are abundant these days, as are new cassette releases, and Stars on C-30 includes reviews of some of these releases, the occasional band or label profile, and a look at the culture surrounding cassettes. In any musical genre there are quiet leaders, bands who help define a sound but never become the “it” [...] [...] March 15th, 2011 | Tags: Cassettes, chicago, Coins, MP3, Old Smile, Philadelphia, Plustapes, Science Fiction Fantasy, Treetop Sorbet | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, Stars on C-30 |
3 comments | Rue Royale is another band that comes my way via the inimitable Brendan Losch, who never fails to impress with his musical selection (check his blog, Count Me Out). The Royale husband and wife duo are friends with Losch from their Chicago days, but have since moved to the UK, which is noticeable in their [...] [...] February 7th, 2011 | Tags: Acoustic, chicago, Folk Pop, Guide To An Escape, MP3, Rue Royale, UK | Category: Artist Profiles, MP3, New Albums |
