New Decemberists track: “Hazards of Love 1”
From the Decemberists’ upcoming release “The Hazards of Love” is “Hazards of Love 1 (The Prettiest Whistles Won’t Wrestle the Thistles Undone).” The album is set to drop March 24, and will probably be all politically charged and full of cute and sad romance and despair. Check out the track list and the song, along… Continue reading New Decemberists track: “Hazards of Love 1”
Princess Chelsea
Princess Chelsea hails from the best place ever Auckland, New Zealand and writes about her “mundane experiences” between the ages of 18 and 21. It’s cool definitely. She’s cute and talented and stuff, like everything from that country. Influenced by classical and popular music, she writes songs that show true composition and pop sensibilities. She finished… Continue reading Princess Chelsea
New Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Zero”
Well, the first single from Yeah Yeah Yeahs new album, It’s Blitz!, was supposed to have a grand unveiling later this month, but it looks like “Zero” has leaked about two weeks early. As much as I hate to do this, I’m WAY too excited about the new album to not post the incredibly low-quality… Continue reading New Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Zero”
The Mint Chicks!
We here at Knox Road would not normally talk about a band like the Mint Chicks. The reason for this is because we really don’t talk about bands from New Zealand a lot. Especially Jamie. But for this one time I will make an exception. The Mint Chicks describe themselves as “Troublegum Pop.” I have… Continue reading The Mint Chicks!

iCatching
Originally from Lexington, KY, iCatching (birth name Tiffany Catching), is trying to work her way into the hip-hop world with the help of super fly producer David Starfire. She’s pretty new to the game, and doesn’t have a lot of music to her name, but her first single, “Music,” shows a lot of promise. Her… Continue reading iCatching
“I Am The Real Santo Gold”
Jeweler/infomercial star/musician??/worst person of 2009 Santo Gold officially wrestled the name from super cool musician Santogold, after all kinds of a legal mess. As if making Santogold change her name to Santigold wasn’t enough, he made a terrible rap/spoken word/mess about how right he is. The best part? You can buy the song from his… Continue reading “I Am The Real Santo Gold”
B.o.B
I think I have some sort of a connection to the rap artist B.o.b. If you can figure out why, I’ll shake your hand. Anyway, his newest single “I’ll be in the sky” is playing on heavy rotation on the music video circuit. And I normally wouldn’t care about the music video circuit, but every… Continue reading B.o.B
