Now, I don’t think this is a bad thing for audiences, because they actually pull it off fairly well (SO, let me preface all this by saying I like The Calm Blue Sea’s music. A lot). But come on: the music sounds identical in that experimental way and even their name must be related. Let’s… Continue reading The Calm Blue Sea: Trying to be Explosions In The Sky?

New Album: Soft Black – The Earth is Black
The Earth is Black is the new record to be released this month from Brooklyn based Soft Black, headed by Vincent Cacchione. The album was apparently inspired by a series of nightmares Cacchione had.

Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
Despite Knox Road’s self-proclaimed label as a “music blog” (don’t know why we settled on that…), we would be remiss not to mention the biggest sporting event of the year. So everyone knows, we’re kinda all rooting against the heavily favored Steelers – what with Jamie from Philadelphia, Bob from Maryland (toss him into the… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
iTunes Mixery
It’s that time again! If you’ve been reading along, you know the rules. If not, here’s a little refresher: I press shuffle play on iTunes, and then tell you which 5 songs show up and provide a little tidbit and the mp3 (most of the time). Judging is allowed. Here’s hoping I don’t embarrass myself.… Continue reading iTunes Mixery
