Knox Road had previously posted about this tends-to-lean-more-towards-rock indie group, Soft Black, when we first received news about their upcoming album The Earth Is Black. You can see that post here.

Fist of God or I heart MSTRKRFT
MSTRKRFT is the only acceptable reason for Death From Above 1979 to break up. I really could not handle the break-up of one of my favorite bands to randomly happen…unless something just as awesome were to come out of it. So when “The Looks” came out in 2006, everything was ok in the world. If… Continue reading Fist of God or I heart MSTRKRFT
N.A.S.A. featuring everybody in the world on The Spirit Of Apollo
Beat-making duo Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon decided a few years ago to get some friends and famous people together to make a ridiculous collaboration album that would be totally rad. Well this past week that album came out and you know what, it’s totally rad. Under the name N.A.S.A. (North America South America), the… Continue reading N.A.S.A. featuring everybody in the world on The Spirit Of Apollo

It’s a Wednesday night: middle of the week, a calm time hopefully before Thursday night and the weekend. For some (me), it’s been a short week with Presidents Day and all , for others (Jamie, Bob), not so much. I know guys, New York City’s just not busy enough. I’m sorry. With that sentiment in… Continue reading MP3s and News: Angus & Julia Stone

The Mint Chicks!
We here at Knox Road would not normally talk about a band like the Mint Chicks. The reason for this is because we really don’t talk about bands from New Zealand a lot. Especially Jamie. But for this one time I will make an exception. The Mint Chicks describe themselves as “Troublegum Pop.” I have… Continue reading The Mint Chicks!
Wavves makes waves with Wavvves
Last time we talked about lo-fi California sensation Wavves, he was working on his major label full-length debut. Well the day came earlier this week and that record, Wavvves, arrived. The album landed on Fat Possum, and man did it land hard. Like a skater into an empty pool, Wavves drops into your eardrums full… Continue reading Wavves makes waves with Wavvves
