One of our favorite bands on Knox Road (and of the Swedish-variety, which is always a major plus), Marching Band, has returned with their latest EP, And I’ve Never Seen Anything Like That. There are some groups whose material I will not hesitate to post when it comes our way, and Marching Band is one… Continue reading Marching Band releases new EP And I’ve Never Seen Anything Like That

New music from Color of Clouds
The sun is past setting and she closes her blinds, flipping on three of her room lamps. She looks at the wooden floorboards of her apartment and gets lost in the maze. The steam heater in the corner spouts water into its crevices, making everything appear darker than it did the day before. She stares… Continue reading New music from Color of Clouds
Stream Coasts’ new song, “Oceans”
It’s frigid. I’m out on the roof with this pretty girl I met a few weeks ago, her cheeks rosy. We’re picking and licking icicles. I kind of want to buy those neon lights that will make the ice shine so my whole roof is magical. My very own ice castle. I’ll bring her back… Continue reading Stream Coasts’ new song, “Oceans”
Bruno Merz
Yes, Bruno Merz is the artist’s name and that’s all I’m going to say on that topic. I hate to get all depressing on you guys, but Merz, born in New Zealand and currently living in the UK, has dropped a gem of an utmost delicate nature. Best listened to when in bed, either going… Continue reading Bruno Merz
Knox Road’s Top Albums of 2012
As has become tradition, we asked Knox Road writers to provide their Top Albums of 2012 and we got a potpourri of responses. Have a happy holiday season, and thanks for sticking with us for another year.
Miss Elizabeth
Miss Elizabeth is two dudes out of Toronto, one of whom I’ve written about in the past. Absurdly catchy electronic pop, Miss Elizabeth is one of those bands I can listen to on the crowded NYC subway and lose myself. I’d be tapping my feet and bopping my head and shaking my body (that’s how… Continue reading Miss Elizabeth
Asian She
Genre-bending indie rock pop electronic (maybe?) from Asian She, a Los Angeles duo with no Asian anything. Danceable, dark and sophisticated all at once, Asian She’s s/t EP was released back in September. Noah Lebenzon and Thomas Froggatt have a little something up their sleeves with their unique sound, and I wouldn’t be surprised to… Continue reading Asian She
R. Thomasin
I don’t really get the whole R. Thomasin name thing, as Rachel is a perfectly lovely first name, but what do I know? I’m sure I’m missing something about what’s hip these days. R. Thomasin, just know that I would like you regardless of your name. Even if when I first glance at your name… Continue reading R. Thomasin
Ace Reporter
Ace Reporter, aka Chris Snyder out of Brooklyn, has creeped into my life lately with his melodic new single “Untouched and Arrived,” as well as a benefit track, “Empress,” for victims of Hurricane Sandy. I’m surprised I hadn’t heard much about Snyder before, as he apparently wrote, recorded and published an original song every 24… Continue reading Ace Reporter
Hiva Oa
The intangibles in life. The illogical. It’s okay not to have an answer; it’s okay to lose control. The challenge makes us stronger. Let us revel in our sadness and stories of love lost and rise above them. You and I, we’ll become better people. (The below album automatically starts at track 7 but click… Continue reading Hiva Oa
