19 bands, 19 songs. Indiecater Records have released their fifth mixtape (despite the IV, it’s the fifth…) and we couldn’t be happier here at Knox Road. Their musical tastes are much in line with our own, as they feature fun indie rock of the “jangle pop variety” with “dashes of electronica and experimentation throughout.” You… Continue reading Indiecater Volume IV released! Woo hoo!

Peter Bradley Adams ushers us into the weekend
You may recognize his song “Always” from a previous upcoming NYC concerts (where basically everyone came to the city one Thursday) post, but this time Brooklyn’s Peter Bradley Adams gets his own space. Adams makes his folk music immediately accessible with soothing, raspy vocals and acoustic guitar picking, along with the occasional piano and pretty… Continue reading Peter Bradley Adams ushers us into the weekend
Exit Clov raising funds for the Typhoon in Taiwan
The ladies of Exit Clov (Emily and Susan Hsu) took to the airwaves and decided to personally do something to help raise money for the victims of Taiwan’s Typhoon Morakot by making a short home music video. Do what you can to help (per their description below). Plus, you get an up close and personal… Continue reading Exit Clov raising funds for the Typhoon in Taiwan
The American Dollar’s name couldn’t be any more fitting
The American dollar is in a state of constant flux. It weaves its way in and out of the good and bad times, and we never really know what direction it’s going to take – whether it will swoon, dive or fly is anyone’s best guess. At times overwhelming and controlling, it also has the… Continue reading The American Dollar’s name couldn’t be any more fitting
Brendan Benson’s My Old, Familiar Friend is a bit too familiar
It’s a good thing I’m listening to this album in the summer, because otherwise I’d be much harsher – it just seems to fit a summer mood, and not much else. My Old, Familiar Friend is an apt title, as Benson sounds in-line with his previous work (much of this material is, in fact, taken… Continue reading Brendan Benson’s My Old, Familiar Friend is a bit too familiar
Imogen Heap’s Ellipse streaming in full
Here’s to artists who understand social media and beyond. Imogen knows her audience and has had her twitter in Ellipse mode basically since its inception. Listen to the entire new album, set to officially drop August 25. Favorite track upon first listen = “2-1”.
Greg Fine makes the mood
Greg Fine’s music first graced my ears in an unassuming manner. From a humble email, which surely indicated a humble background, Fine described his new CD, Always Time, in a succinct manner, explaining which tracks he can still listen to over and over, and the inspiration with which they were written. Nothing more, nothing less.… Continue reading Greg Fine makes the mood
In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
Quite possibly the only time I’ll ever say this (…with sincerity): I hope you weren’t reading Knox Road this week. It’s been too nice outside, and I wouldn’t blame you – I’d actually think something’s wrong with you. Unless you’re one of our Antarctic readers. (In that case, I don’t mean to make you jealous… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review

Getting back to Balmorhea
You may remember Austin’s Balmorhea from a previous post several months ago. But with Smansmith graciously informing us of a remixed All Is Wild, All Is Silent, I thought now would be as good a time as ever to go into just how much I’ve grown to love the non-remixed All Is Wild, All Is… Continue reading Getting back to Balmorhea
