What have we here? Free music? A free EP? A free eight song EP?? Sounds more like an LP to me, and that’s just fine. Collider, our San Fransisco friends from July and October, have released a free EP, titled BBM, to coincide with the new year. (We actually missed the boat on timing with… Continue reading Collider releases free EP

[MP3] Eluvium: “Leaves Eclipse The Light”
Another new Eluvium track surfaced today on Stereogum, much to my delight. I can’t even remember how many times I’ve fallen asleep to Matthew Cooper’s music (would be kinda hard I guess, since I fell asleep and all). His sound is perfect for long car rides into a vast abyss, staring out the window as… Continue reading [MP3] Eluvium: “Leaves Eclipse The Light”
Old Abram Brown
I know I know, we all want to get that Pigeons lady image (or whatever you wanna call it) down the page as fast as possible! Blam(i)e Jamie! But trust me, this post isn’t forced – it’s rather the opposite. I’ve been sitting on these fellas for several days, and I think now’s an appropriate… Continue reading Old Abram Brown
Nada Surf to release album of covers; announce spring tour dates
Intriguing much? Nada Surf is releasing an album of 12 covers of their favorite songs, titled if i had a hi-fi. The songs are all over the place genre-wise, including blues, spanish music, power-pop, and everything in between. Although a great deal of thought went into the song selections, the band’s intent is not to… Continue reading Nada Surf to release album of covers; announce spring tour dates
The American Dollar drops new album, Atlas
Hey guys, remember The American Dollar? They of the effervescent soundscapes and jittery electronica? Of course you do! Well, they’re back with a follow-up to 2008’s A Memory Stream in the form of a new LP, Atlas, released January 1. They pretty much deliver what’s expected of them on Atlas, though the sound is a… Continue reading The American Dollar drops new album, Atlas
Bear Lake
Catchy, melodic pop/rock from six friends out of Michigan. Yep, that’s right friends – as in, they all have pretty much known each other since the sixth grade. So, kids, if you’re thinking your middle school friends won’t mean anything to your future (though, you’re probably thinking, another “bear” band? wtf??), think again, because Bear… Continue reading Bear Lake
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
We get it; you were preparing for New Year’s Eve and all that jazz. This is probably one of the only acceptable times to miss out on Knox Road. Still drunk? Still waiting for reveling over that New Year’s Kiss?? Do it with our Week In Review! [photo by Jonathan Storey] Monday: [MP3] Hands: “Windows”… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Will Sartain
So, the guy’s been around since 2002 as a solo act and in four (no typo) different bands and I hadn’t heard of him until, well, last week. As you may have guessed, I’ve been shaking my head in disgust – I mean, I could have been listening to a boatload more of great music… Continue reading Will Sartain
Notable Album Release: Retribution Gospel Choir – 2
Retribution Gospel Choir is what Low sounds like with the volume and speed/intensity turned up about 15 notches. And I’m not just making the comparison for comparison’s sake (gosh, you have no respect for my writing!); two out of the three members, lead singer Alan Sparhawk and bassist Steve Garrington are actually in Low. The… Continue reading Notable Album Release: Retribution Gospel Choir – 2
[MP3] The Car Is On Fire: “Ombarrops!”
The Car Is On Fire is a four person act from Poland, a highly fertile barely existent indie music breeding grounds. Also, if there is such a thing as twee garage pop, these kids would define the genre. “Ombarrops!” is the single from their latest album Ombarrops! which dropped earlier this year and was produced… Continue reading [MP3] The Car Is On Fire: “Ombarrops!”
