I wasn’t planning on posting tonight, but I was listening to my music, along came CALLmeKAT, and I couldn’t resist holding onto this gem any longer. CALLmeKAT is an absolutely breathtaking female singer/songwriter (with a host of different instruments to spare) from Denmark, whose EP, I’m In A Polaroid – Where Are You?, was released… Continue reading CALLmeKAT, call me awestruck.

Dayliner, as part of their monthly promise, has delivered a February mp3, this time in the form of a rougher cut (desired effect?). The song is called “The Promise Ring”, which we have up for download right here at Knox Road! Be sure to visit their website for more mp3s (of the free variety). Dayliner… Continue reading New Dayliner Song: “The Promise Ring”
Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
Despite Knox Road’s self-proclaimed label as a “music blog” (don’t know why we settled on that…), we would be remiss not to mention the biggest sporting event of the year. So everyone knows, we’re kinda all rooting against the heavily favored Steelers – what with Jamie from Philadelphia, Bob from Maryland (toss him into the… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
iTunes Mixery
It’s that time again! If you’ve been reading along, you know the rules. If not, here’s a little refresher: I press shuffle play on iTunes, and then tell you which 5 songs show up and provide a little tidbit and the mp3 (most of the time). Judging is allowed. Here’s hoping I don’t embarrass myself.… Continue reading iTunes Mixery
Bang! Bang! Eche!
From Christchurch, NZ (yeah, yeah I know) comes Bang! Bang! Eche!, a wonderfully energetic and tight band that will rock your ass like it’s never been rocked. They sort of come from the same vein as fellow NZ band Thought Creature, who I mentioned a few weeks ago. The group formed in May 2007 and… Continue reading Bang! Bang! Eche!

Their sprawling atmospheric rock is highly listenable for fans of many genres. Their mix of diverse sound (keys,… Continue reading No Second Troy
New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”
So “Tonight” was just a bonus track from Lykke Li’s debut Youth Novels, but I guess it gets a video anyway (where’s the video for “Little Bit,” huh?). Stereogum premiered the video earlier today, and appropriately drew a connection to Sinead O’Connor (minus the whole picture of the pope thing). It’s pretty basic, and compared to her awesome last videos,… Continue reading New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”
