[MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”

There’s only so many positive things you can say about one man and one band. Ted Wendler and Mansions on the Moon strike again. Count this as another MotM song I’ll be listening to on repeat. So smooth. Mansions on the Moon – “Rest Of Your Days” [MP3] Mansions on the Moon on Knox Road |… Continue reading [MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”

[Abby’s Road] So, you’re keen on music?

My friends, the dear ones, are obviously aware of the music I fancy. Many of my closest relationships over the years were sparked by having a passion for the same records and artists. These people know my collection. I’ve left some of them confused (and annoyed!) in the past, not by what is in my… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] So, you’re keen on music?

Dream Brother

Our friend Ian Anderson is up to new things and we’d be remiss if we didn’t discuss ’em. One For The Team is no longer, but he certainly hasn’t stopped making peppy poppy music. Anderson’s latest project is Dream Brother, and the first two released songs feature special guests Paul Sprangers (Free Energy frontman) and… Continue reading Dream Brother

Bogan Via

Bogan Via is a duo out of Phoenix that makes my heart go aflutter. Madeleine Miller’s sweet falsetto is gently contrasted with Bret Bender’s raspy baritone.

[Hype Hype Hooray] The Horrible Criticism Machine Takes on Boring Mainstream Rock

Every [two weeks?] Jamie Hale takes a long, hard look at the music industry and the blog scene that feeds it. Here, he releases those findings and makes snarky, sarcastic remarks. Admittedly, both Jamie and Knox Road are a part of this scene. So sue us. Ohhhh some critics like to opine about the current… Continue reading [Hype Hype Hooray] The Horrible Criticism Machine Takes on Boring Mainstream Rock

Leonard Friend

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to be more open with my music taste, as I was pushing away certain bands because of their descriptions not “fitting my aesthetic.” What the hell does that even mean?? Who am I? Certainly not important enough to be thinking like that. I’M SO SORRY. To correct my… Continue reading Leonard Friend
