We’re back! Thanks for sticking with us through this insanely hectic month. We’re slowly but surely rounding back into form. Bad Breaks is the project of San Antonio drummer, Chuck Kerr, who arranges all songs on piano then approaches his band with the material and makes it roll. “Won’t Come Home,” off Bad Breaks’ s/t… Continue reading Bad Breaks

I was recently talking to my Canadian friends, The Wooden Sky, about the excitement of their NYC show last night at Rockwood Music Hall (after they sold out our Knox Road show at Pianos back in May!), and much to my chagrin, realized I wouldn’t be around. They have an incredibly tight and rambunctious live… Continue reading Hannah Winkler
Bryan Laurier & The Lost Acres
I hope I’ve just missed people talking about Bryan Laurier & The Lost Acres, because I’m not quite sure why the group doesn’t have more fanfare. They come across in an unassuming manner both in song and in words, which draws me to the simple elegance of the folk-laden music. Let it be a de-stresser… Continue reading Bryan Laurier & The Lost Acres
The 1975 releases new song, “You”
While I attempt to work through the consequences of this storm (I am perfectly fine and have power, not to fear!), I don’t have much mental capacity to say anything other than “listen!”. But the song below, which came out yesterday, is helping me become a little less stir-crazy. The 1975’s new EP, Sex, is… Continue reading The 1975 releases new song, “You”
Skittish releases The Five Stages EP
I like writing. Rarely do I think posts are better presented with what I’m given from the artist. Except with Skittish. I’ll make it quick: Band, Skittish, about to be signed by Yep Roc. Love triangle, suicide attempt, label scared off, members disperse leaving me alone to make “The Five Stages EP.” The new Skittish… Continue reading Skittish releases The Five Stages EP
Guy Fox
When the subject of the email addressed to me read “Innovative Indie-Afro-Yacht-Rock Band,” I almost immediately trashed it. But then I thought about how sassy and jerky I’ve been on email lately and decided to give the San Fransisco crew a spin. I’m getting too jaded; I gotta try to get back into things a… Continue reading Guy Fox
Old Earth
I don’t know if you noticed but it’s getting cold out there. As autumn starts to sink its teeth into the world for another year, Old Earth is here to complete the picture for you. “Less Words,” a fantastic song from Old Earth’s latest release, a low place at The Old Place, sounds like a walk… Continue reading Old Earth
Passenger Peru demonstrates their adventurous side on self-titled debut album
Largely the vision of former Antlers bassist Justin Stivers, Passenger Peru rides Stivers bass into more experimental areas than Antlers usual fare. Stivers teamed up with Justin Gonzalez to bring Passenger Peru’s self-titled album into existence. From the start of the album, you get the impression that Stivers attempted to bring the experimental side of… Continue reading Passenger Peru demonstrates their adventurous side on self-titled debut album
Me And My Drummer
I apologize for not picking up on this duo sooner. After hearing them off the recently released music video for their single, “Don’t Be So Hot,” I’m ready for a much heavier dose of Berlin’s Me And My Drummer. The climactic ending is staggering, as are Charlotte Brandi’s vocals. Me And My Drummer on the… Continue reading Me And My Drummer
Walk-In Records signs Jordon Salveson
Knox Road label partner Walk-In Records is excited to announce the signing of experimental Nashville folk musician, Jordon Salveson. Salveson represents a bit of a change-up for Walk-In, as we’ve seen lo-fi and progressive, but not much of the “soothing” variety. He is widely unknown, and we hope to change that with the Walk-In signing.… Continue reading Walk-In Records signs Jordon Salveson
