Band of Horses announce new album, tour dates

Pitchfork just released the latest awesome news of 2010, coming in the form of a new album announcement from Seattle fellas Band of Horses. The album will be titled Infinite Arms and will drop May 18, rather soon for such an announcement, no? Also, the band hasn’t provided us with any news about the label… Continue reading Band of Horses announce new album, tour dates

Mumford & Sons is coming stateside

Mumford & Sons, the totally not-American band who received #19 on our top albums of 2009 list, is totally coming to America for a string of dates in May and June. Personally, I find this exciting, even if the indie Illuminati don’t. To them I say — and excuse my French — please don’t come!… Continue reading Mumford & Sons is coming stateside

Bearded Philadelphia duo Pattern Is Movement are hard at work on a new album to follow up 2008’s All Together, but in the meantime they’ll be offering up a limited EP as part of their soon-to-begin U.S. tour (which kicks off in D.C.!

The Hold Steady announce U.S. tour dates

Normally news about The Hold Steady would come from Lee or Jon, our resident Hold Steady experts, but due to schedule restraints you’ll hear it from me! Now, I shouldn’t get your hopes up too high. When I say “U.S.” it really means “the northeast” and when I say “tour dates” it means “12 shows… Continue reading The Hold Steady announce U.S. tour dates

Seas

Pleasant, drifting, warm. Bands like Seas keep me going on wintry days like today. The snow is falling but my body temperature is rising (and I reaaalllly don’t mean that in the sexual way, so let’s keep those jokes to a minimum, yeah?). Seas (aka Ben Green, out of D.C.) just released Now My Home… Continue reading Seas

Frightened Rabbit is lining up a big ol’ American tour

You heard me. Frightened Rabbit is going on an extensive American tour in support of their forthcoming third full-length, The Winter of Mixed Drinks, due out March 9. This doesn’t happen particularly often, so don’t miss it. Seriously, don’t. If I hear any more about this negligence of yours, I’m really going to get angry.… Continue reading Frightened Rabbit is lining up a big ol’ American tour
