She’s pretty new to the game, and doesn’t have a lot of music to her name, but her first single, “Music,” shows a lot of promise. Her… Continue reading iCatching

With pulsing guitar and up-tempo pop the White Rabbits (not to be confused with like, all the non-white rabbits) create a… Continue reading White Rabbits at the Mercury Lounge
Wavves makes waves with Wavvves
Last time we talked about lo-fi California sensation Wavves, he was working on his major label full-length debut. Well the day came earlier this week and that record, Wavvves, arrived. The album landed on Fat Possum, and man did it land hard. Like a skater into an empty pool, Wavves drops into your eardrums full… Continue reading Wavves makes waves with Wavvves
Greycoats: “Melodramatic Popular Song”
…Or so it says on their MySpace. Sounds a bit Coldplay-ish no? But don’t worry, no Chris Martin involved, I promise. And you know, adjectives like melodramatic tend to draw people like me in. What can I say, i’m suuuuper melancholic. Sort of. Actually, not really, but that’s the music I love. And I love… Continue reading Greycoats: “Melodramatic Popular Song”

You Can Be A Wesley
Boston’s You Can Be A Wesley is just great. Listening to cuts from their latest, Feed The Moon, Starve The Sun, is like a slice of music butter melting on a warm piece of toast. With like cinnamon and sugar on it. Or maybe jam. Yeah, jam. Structurally they’re pretty classic. Rhythm guitar, lead guitar,… Continue reading You Can Be A Wesley
Woodhands covers “Electric Avenue”
Toronto’s electronic duo, Woodhands, released a cover of Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue” (aka one of my favorite songs ever). As a fan of the smash 80s sensation, I say it’s a good homage. The duo is releasing an EP of “remixes, restylings and reworkings” on March 3. Dancer EP will be out on Paper Bag Records.… Continue reading Woodhands covers “Electric Avenue”
