The Lumineers

The Lumineers make the kind of life-affirming folk music that many bands aspire for, but few actually pull off. Their best track, “Ho Hey” is a perfectly crafted foot-stomper, literally demanding a group singalong – on tour, the crowd will surely “ho!” and “hey!” along with the band after every four […]

Luke Roberts needs a moment of your time

One of the greatest qualities of folk music is the story. There’s always a story in the song somewhere; you might have to search deep down in the lyrics or deep within yourself to find the story, but it’s there.

The songs on Luke Robert’s debut, Big Bells and Dime Songs, […]

I love this. Mausi is a sibling-led foursome based out of Newcastle who make undeniably fun and catchy indie pop. I’ll let the video do the rest of the talking.

http://www.vimeo.com/26022712

Nick Bindeman owns the summer of 2011. In June, Bindeman released a new record from his band Jackie-O Motherfucker, and then followed it up with a release from his other band, Eternal Tapestry, in July. Now it’s August and Bindeman unleashes another record, this time under the name Tunnels. While Jackie-O […]

KR Presents: New Old Abram Brown video for “Mountain Lions”

http://www.vimeo.com/22300848

Remember back in the day when I wrote up a grand ol’ artist profile about Old Abram Brown, some youngster New Hampshirites new to the indie music circuit?

Everything about Old Abram Brown screams passion. Carson Lund’s vocals are earnest and emphatic, as if breaking all barriers of viscosity. Piano holds […]

[MP3] Reading Rainbow: “Always On My Mind”

http://www.vimeo.com/16203739

Philadelphia duo Reading Rainbow has already made some great stuff I’m not afraid to admit I love. Most recently, they sat down with Philadelphia-based Shaking Through to record three tracks, one of which, “Always On My Mind” was featured and for good reason! The fuzzy pop track harkens back to recent […]

Mountain Goats’ Darnielle takes iPhone onstage, sings into it at show

Mountain Goats’ frontman/pretty much only man John Darnielle is known for being a bit eccentric, especially onstage. Self-proclaimed Darnielle fan Brandon Korch found this out first hand while filming him, touring as duo The Extra Lens, during a show at D.C.’s Rock and Roll Hotel on Wednesday. About halfway through the track, Darnielle notices […]

“This album is a homage to my youth. I had a wonderful time but I am going somewhere new. Good bye and good riddance…”

I know you’ve been waiting for it (humor me): the third and final installment in Abby’s Youth Series, 2010. Today, if you […]
