Ok musicians, I get it. You all want to play some great shows this summer. I understand! It’s a great time to tour! But do you have to all announce the tour dates at once? This is absurd. On the heels of this morning’s news that Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem will be touring this… Continue reading Neon Indian joins the club, announces summer tour dates

Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem announce tour dates (separately, of course)
Well isn’t this just exciting? Two great acts, Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem have announced a slew of tour dates in what is probably the best tour-date-announcement morning in recent memory. No, they’re not touring together (unfortunately??), but they are touring simultaneously which can lead to a pretty awesome live music summer. Crystal Castles are… Continue reading Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem announce tour dates (separately, of course)
Broken Bells announce tour with Morning Benders
Mega-hyped but kind of let-down super duo Broken Bells (Danger Mouse and The Shins’ James Mercer) just announced a tour with mega-hyped but amazing band the Morning Benders across the U.S. and oh, a couple dates in Canada. I’m almost 100 percent sure that the Morning Benders will be amazing live and Broken Bells, well,… Continue reading Broken Bells announce tour with Morning Benders
Twin Sister showcases talent, patience with Color Your Life EP
Twin Sister always seems to come out of nowhere. The band that brought us theĀ Vampires With Dreaming Kids EP, which included the great tracks “Ginger” and “I Want A House” have come back with a new EP, Color Your Life. It’s twice as long as Vampires and shows the band looking in a little bit… Continue reading Twin Sister showcases talent, patience with Color Your Life EP
Dum Dum Girls come off bland on I Will Be
The lo-fi bubblegum pop sound is nothing new, and it’s been done to death by several great bands (Vivian Girls, Raveonettes, et all). That’s not to say that Dum Dum Girls can’t make a good record of the same kind of music themselves! I think given their previous efforts and some of the singles off… Continue reading Dum Dum Girls come off bland on I Will Be
Regarding modern art and MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video
We here at Knox Road talk a lot about “weird,” “bizarre” or “crazy” music videos. I myself like to indulge in the modern art that music videos have now become in much the same way I would a Warhol or Dali painting. I like to observe it for what it is, and try not to… Continue reading Regarding modern art and MGMT’s “Flash Delirium” video
[MP3] Lucky Delucci: “December 1986”
In the 1960s, a lot of British bands made a name for themselves by taking American folk music and making it their own. It was a great example of Americana’s influence on the world. British 6-piece group Lucky Delucci might as well be from the same mold. They take the slow, jammed-out wandering style we’ve… Continue reading [MP3] Lucky Delucci: “December 1986”
Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”
The mysterious, under-two-minute song “Go Outside” by the equally mysterious and brief Cults now has a not-so-mysterious video! Phew! Some light is finally shed! For one, we know that whoever filmed the Cults video lives near an ocean with rocky shores and caves (narrowing it down!). We ALSO know that whoever filmed the video has… Continue reading Cults unveil the mystery in cute video for “Go Outside”
[MP3] Delorean: “Stay Close”
God FINALLY. I’ve been waiting to hear more Delorean since they blew me away with last year’s Ayrton Senna EP. The Spanish band will release their latest full-length, Subiza, on April 20 (digital) and June 8 (physical) on True Panther Sounds, but the album’s first single, “Stay Close” is out today thanks to the good… Continue reading [MP3] Delorean: “Stay Close”
Dominique Young Unique
Tampa rapper Dominique Young Unique has been kicking around the scene for about a year or so now, and she’s received a lot positive attention which probably helped her get her own mashup on The Hood Internet. But with her most recent and best single “Show My Ass,” she has shown that she’s mature enough… Continue reading Dominique Young Unique
