[MP3] Bromheads: “Fan of the Vagrants”
It’s like Saturday is day-where-I-post-things-about-bands-I’ve-previously-posted-about day. Earlier this morning it was sing-speak rockers mewithoutYou, and now it’s UK-based Bromheads, who I first wrote about at the turn of the decade. They’ve just released a new MP3 for your downloading pleasure called “Fan of the Vagrants,” and it’s pretty much what you’d expect: quick, fun and… Continue reading [MP3] Bromheads: “Fan of the Vagrants”
[MP3s] Dana Falconberry + Brad Senne
Why not post two mp3s from the same email together? It only makes sense. Dana Falconberry is a singer/songwriter with an alt-folk twang and a precious voice. The songs are intimately dazzling, somehow managing to haunt with eerie harmonies but stay warm at the same time. Her voice is by no means vibrant or resonant,… Continue reading [MP3s] Dana Falconberry + Brad Senne
Phenomenal Video Saturday: mewithoutYou
Now, I’ve posted about mewithoutYou once so very long ago, so I guess now it all comes full circle or something, because almost an entire year later I’m posting an awesome live video from that SAME BAND! It’s so crazy, right? This is an in-store performance of the song “O, Porcupine” from the band’s 2006… Continue reading Phenomenal Video Saturday: mewithoutYou
[Abby’s Road] Caring about the young folks
“Let it be known across the land that 35 is the new 25.” Ah yes, I remember the evening fondly, mostly the proclamation I made, whiskey in hand, on the eve of my thirty-fifth birthday. In this year’s mantra I bumped both double-digits up by 1. I plan to do the same next year (and… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Caring about the young folks
Bethesda
A band that caught my ears recently has come with a name not so unfamiliar to us folks here in D.C.: Bethesda is a town just around the bend, so the group caught my attention pretty much immediately, despite having never heard a lick of their music (does anyone use that saying anymore?). Sometimes you… Continue reading Bethesda
[MP3] Korallreven: “The Truest Faith”
What exactly does music inspired by Samoan Catholic church choirs sound like, you ask? If I told you it sounded like Korallreven, would that help explain things any? Well it shouldn’t. Unless you’re already familiar with the duo made up of Marcus Joons and Daniel Tjader, keyboardist for The Radio Dept. The two spent some… Continue reading [MP3] Korallreven: “The Truest Faith”
Annuals and The Most Serene Republic announce tour dates together
Hey! Two of our favorite Canadian bands are teaming up to co-headline a summer tour, starting May 5 in Michigan. Hopefully the stages are big everywhere they go…both bands have several members. There should be lots of pop, lots of art (remember our interview with Adrian Jewett of TMSR and their video for “Heavens to… Continue reading Annuals and The Most Serene Republic announce tour dates together
The “Because I Feel Like It” mix
Due to some busy times in the current music world and our lives, we’ve somehow neglected mixes lately here on Knox Road, and we apologize. You, the readers, (well, those who actually take the time to talk to us – thank you!) have spoken. You miss the mix. So I will get them up and… Continue reading The “Because I Feel Like It” mix
[MP3] The Books: “Beautiful People”
Didn’t get enough weird music today? Don’t worry, I got you covered! New York duo The Books released “Beautiful People,” a look at their first album in four years, The Way Out. The Books are known for their electronic/folk/weird music that almost always makes a splash with critics. Their latest track features all kinds of… Continue reading [MP3] The Books: “Beautiful People”
