Knox Road is 6 years old today!
We never thought how much this website would mean to us, but here we are, six years in, and still going strong. It really does feel like quite an accomplishment. Sure, we don’t post as much as we used to, but we’ll never get sick of listening to great new music and sharing it with… Continue reading Knox Road is 6 years old today!

Guess what!? Knox Road back in action soon
Maybe even tomorrow. That’s right ladies and gentlemen and everyone else: we’re back. Thank you all for your patience during this longer-than-anticipated hiatus.

Knox Road’s Top Albums of 2013
Another year, another top albums list (some things changed, though — we turned 5 years old!). We asked Knox Road writers to provide their Top Albums of 2013. You know what ensued. Tears, laughter, debate. Actually not much of any of those. Just heartfelt thoughts. If these lists make you listen to one new album,… Continue reading Knox Road’s Top Albums of 2013
Danger Village presents “The Ghost Control Mix”
You may have noticed we’re big Danger Village folks around here. Beth has filled our ears with goodies over the past few years, and I’ve had the chance to become REAL LIFE FRIENDS with her. One of those real-life-friends moments happened to be over CMJ, where Beth and I talked about one of her special… Continue reading Danger Village presents “The Ghost Control Mix”
Knox Road is five years old today
In 2008, Breaking Bad began its first season. 35% of Twitter users had 10 or fewer followers. The iPhone was one year old. Knox Road was created (see our first post on November 17, 2008, above). This post isn’t so much about the history of Knox Road as it is about our gratitude to our… Continue reading Knox Road is five years old today
[Abby’s Road] Danke schön, darlings…
By the time this is published I’ll have crossed the bridge into my triumphant, 40th year. While I am wracked with thoughts like “how the hell did THIS happen?” and “…but I still look like I am 25…” (just agree with me), I also realize that I haven’t said thanks to the many folks I… Continue reading [Abby’s Road] Danke schön, darlings…
Peggy Sue: “Idle”
Tragic events have afflicted my hometown this past week, one hitting closer to me personally, but both just as heartbreaking. It’s the small things in life that we don’t pay any attention to until it’s too late, and often not even then, that help us become whole. We all work. We all look for a… Continue reading Peggy Sue: “Idle”
Rest easy, Josh Burdette
Known by Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club show-goers far and wide, Josh Burdette, beloved manager and crew chief, has passed away. A fixture at the 9:30 since 1997, if you didn’t KNOW him know him you knew of him: his pierced face, quiet strength and wall-like stature keeping things flowing and orderly inside and outside of the V St. venue… Continue reading Rest easy, Josh Burdette
