Ahhhhh! As promised, Kaleena Goldsworthy of The Scarlet Ending has sent Knox Road two pre-produced JUST recorded new demos from their up-coming album to be released later this year (probably around July). Kaleena was able to get us these tracks just in time before taking off for that Austin thing called SXSW or something. Not… Continue reading Knox Road exclusive: New songs from The Scarlet Ending

The Tiny
You had to have known that I’d be writing up a Swedish band on here sometime soon, especially with many international bands attending and performing SXSW, which is right around the corner. I have recently become besotted with The Tiny, a Stockholm, Sweden trio who make devastatingly heartbreaking music with such a crisp sound for… Continue reading The Tiny
MP3: MONO – Follow The Map
In our constant effort to please our readership, I have what several of you have been asking for since Bob posted this video, which so movingly captured the delicacy of the music therein. Ladies and Gents, I present to you, at the bottom of the post, the MP3 for that song, “Follow The Map”. Go… Continue reading MP3: MONO – Follow The Map
In Case You Missed It: Week in Review
In case you missed it, Jack White started a new band. I forgive you though. You probably confused it with his 5,000 other self-created bands. But I don’t forgive all the other things you’ve missed this past week at Knox Road, so this is your last chance to redeem yourself! Ahem, the KR Week in… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week in Review

Flash(not so far)back: The Format
That headline made me sad to type. There was a period of high school during which I listened to The Format (primarily Arizona natives Sam Means and Nate Ruess, though their tours included many other members) non-stop, as some of my friends can attest. They put out some of the catchiest pop songs I had… Continue reading Flash(not so far)back: The Format
MP3 from Boy In Static’s new ‘Candy Cigarette’

Well, the album was just released in MP3 format (March 10) and the physical release goes live April 14! Also, there’s a free mp3 up for grabs from… Continue reading MP3 from Boy In Static’s new ‘Candy Cigarette’
Apple’s new indie sampler: Dance and Electronic
Apple came out with one of their sporadic installments of free indie spotlight samplers yesterday for all to redeem and download. This mix is slightly surprising considering they usually spotlight singer/songwriters and more accessible stuff to the “common folk” (thought that’s not the case for their recently launched indie spotlight section in the iTunes store).… Continue reading Apple’s new indie sampler: Dance and Electronic
The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn likes to teach, too
So I thought I was in for a normal boring lecture last night in my entertainment and media industries class. I took my seat, kept my head down, listened to my iPod, the usual. Class was about to start, so I took my headphones off, looked up, and whaddaya know – Craig Finn, frontman of… Continue reading The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn likes to teach, too
Mother Mother
In response to The Scarlet Ending’s Kaleena Goldsworthy (much thanks to her) listing a Mother Mother song (“Hayloft”) as tops on her current playlist, I decided now would be a perfect time to discuss the brilliant five-piece from Vancouver, Canada. A bit more of a dynamic Mates of State (and with 3 more members…), Mother… Continue reading Mother Mother
