For those of us who had work (or school) off due to Martin Luther King Jr. day, I’ve got a band that will surely provide a jump start to our real week. This Toronto trio knows how to have fun with their music, and, better yet, knows how to show the listener that this is… Continue reading Triple Gangers

[MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”
There’s only so many positive things you can say about one man and one band. Ted Wendler and Mansions on the Moon strike again. Count this as another MotM song I’ll be listening to on repeat. So smooth. Mansions on the Moon – “Rest Of Your Days” [MP3] Mansions on the Moon on Knox Road |… Continue reading [MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”
Dream Brother
Our friend Ian Anderson is up to new things and we’d be remiss if we didn’t discuss ’em. One For The Team is no longer, but he certainly hasn’t stopped making peppy poppy music. Anderson’s latest project is Dream Brother, and the first two released songs feature special guests Paul Sprangers (Free Energy frontman) and… Continue reading Dream Brother
Bogan Via
Bogan Via is a duo out of Phoenix that makes my heart go aflutter. Madeleine Miller’s sweet falsetto is gently contrasted with Bret Bender’s raspy baritone. The songs heavily rely on the duo’s vocals, but the angelic instrumentation also makes me swoon. Also, these words from Bender make it that much sweeter: About four months… Continue reading Bogan Via

His forthcoming album, Another Time and Place, marks his third full length as Brae, but it’s his first real effort into getting the word out there about the project. Husken is a multi-instrumentalist, specializing… Continue reading Brae
Leonard Friend
One of my New Year’s resolutions was to be more open with my music taste, as I was pushing away certain bands because of their descriptions not “fitting my aesthetic.” What the hell does that even mean?? Who am I? Certainly not important enough to be thinking like that. I’M SO SORRY. To correct my… Continue reading Leonard Friend
[MP3] Inspired and the Sleep: “Running”
The so-called “Eyelid Kid” (aka Max Greenhalgh) is back with “Running,” the second single off Teenager, which was released last summer. Check out the accompanying beach-y video. Inspired and the Sleep – “Running” [MP3] Inspired and the Sleep on Knox Road
[MP3] Conveyor: “Mukraker”
I had the honor of meeting a couple of the Conveyor guys at CMJ a couple months ago and I’m happy to say we’ve remained friends online. So when their new single, “Mukraker,” dropped, I was obviously quick to listen. While I haven’t been able to post about it until now and you may have… Continue reading [MP3] Conveyor: “Mukraker”
the star department
During my short blogging absence (I mixed in a few posts here and there, but I took a nice little break from the grind over these past couple weeks), I was able to listen to music I’ve missed from 2011 and music I’ve missed from being a crazed music blogger in general. This entails music… Continue reading the star department
