We received an email a while back from Evening Magazine, a Philadelphia folk pop collective (9 members..whoaa), about their recently released 5-song debut EP, The Ride Across Lake Constance, but I just got around to listening to one of the songs, “18 Wheels” recently. And how I regret not listening sooner. In the ever-burgeoning fad… Continue reading Evening Magazine

Knox Road exclusive: New songs from The Scarlet Ending
Ahhhhh! As promised, Kaleena Goldsworthy of The Scarlet Ending has sent Knox Road two pre-produced JUST recorded new demos from their up-coming album to be released later this year (probably around July).

The Tiny
You had to have known that I’d be writing up a Swedish band on here sometime soon, especially with many international bands attending and performing SXSW, which is right around the corner. I have recently become besotted with The Tiny, a Stockholm, Sweden trio who make devastatingly heartbreaking music with such a crisp sound for… Continue reading The Tiny

In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
In case you missed it, Jack White started a new band. I forgive you though. You probably confused it with his 5,000 other self-created bands.

Ahem, the KR Week in… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review

Flash(not so far)back: The Format
That headline made me sad to type. There was a period of high school during which I listened to The Format (primarily Arizona natives Sam Means and Nate Ruess, though their tours included many other members) non-stop, as some of my friends can attest. They put out some of the catchiest pop songs I had… Continue reading Flash(not so far)back: The Format
Old guy defends Rihanna’s honor – with the power of MUSIC!!
Middle-aged man Bert Griffin wrote this awesome country-rock (??) song called “Rhianna’s Song (Bitch Slapping Brown).” You have to wait for the chorus (at about 1:21), but it’s totally worth it to hear cries of “Bitch slappin’ Brown / Bitch slapped his baby down.” You WISH your dad (grandpa?) was this cool. I already know… Continue reading Old guy defends Rihanna’s honor – with the power of MUSIC!!
St. Vincent announces U.S. tour. NOT Canada.
Everybody’s favorite, St. Vincent, announced a spring/summer tour of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. That’s because she’s an American and that’s where music should be played. The Canada snub aside, this tour should be sweet. She’s coming to D.C. at the Black Cat and also making an appearance at my favorite venue ever the First… Continue reading St. Vincent announces U.S. tour. NOT Canada.
