New Akron/Family: “Everyone is Guilty”

Akron/Family, from Williamsport, PA (in the middle of like, nowhere, trust me), is releasing their new full-length, Set ‘Em Wild, Set ‘Em Free, on May 5. The first single and the album opener, “Everyone is Guilty,” is full of that awesome “we’re compensating for living in the middle of a boring state” energy (no offense meant… Continue reading New Akron/Family: “Everyone is Guilty”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs make weird It’s Blitz ads and move up release

I’m sure Yeah Yeah Yeahs had an awesome plan for releasing their latest album, It’s Blitz, but since it leaked that plan is over. The band condemned the early leaks on their blog, and moved up the release date to March 9. From the blog: “YYYs have been brimming with nervous excitement in anticipation of… Continue reading Yeah Yeah Yeahs make weird It’s Blitz ads and move up release

Say Hi’s album, ‘Oohs & Aahs’, is not for your mother

There’s nothing inappropriate about the album or anything, I just thought I’d bring you back to your reality instead of your mother’s reality after reading Jamie’s proper analysis of the U2 album. Say Hi released his album, Oohs & Aahs, today. Most of it is indie pop at it’s finest. This is his second album… Continue reading Say Hi’s album, ‘Oohs & Aahs’, is not for your mother

U2 makes your mom’s favorite album of 2009

U2’s big new release No Line on the Horizon is out today and it’s so OK it hurts. It’s safe and it’s well-written but  not really good or surprising. Even though CNN called it “experimental” it’s not. You’re wrong CNN. It’s experimental like saying “let’s try putting mentos in Diet Coke!” You know what’s going to… Continue reading U2 makes your mom’s favorite album of 2009

Knox Road interview with The Scarlet Ending!

I recently had the privilege of speaking with twin sisters Kaleena and Kayleigh Goldsworthy, lead singers (as well as piano and violin players, respectively) of The Scarlet Ending, out of Syracuse, NY, who are set to take the indie world by storm with their newest album soon to be released. They’ve already been featured on… Continue reading Knox Road interview with The Scarlet Ending!

Helicopters: “Emergency”

Chicago’s Helicopters do this great synth, rock guitar, sweet vocals sound that is all but obvious on their single “Emergency” off last years full-length Sizing Up The Distance. The band apparently gained recognition after winning a battle of the bands competition that gave them a performance at the 2007 Lollapalooza festival. Cool. Go them. Check… Continue reading Helicopters: “Emergency”

Music you should hear: The O’Darling (clementine?)

We’ve really been getting lucky in the inbox lately (no, that was not a sexual reference), this time from The O’Darling, a female-fronted, six-piece Canadian (specifically, Toronto) troupe. The O’Darling is comprised of Jennah Barry (vocals, piano, accordion and glock), Ida Mainstone (vocals, piano, glock), Chantel Emond (vocals – if you can’t tell there’s a… Continue reading Music you should hear: The O’Darling (clementine?)
