Indiecater Volume IV released! Woo hoo!
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!

Bear Hands @ Siren
Bear Hands was a pleasant surprise – musically. On stage they were nothing special, but certainly sounded nice. They were kind of funny to look at, as the lead guitarist, who actually added the necessary atmosphere to fill out the sound and bring together some of the dreamy, ambient parts of the songs, was soooo… Continue reading Bear Hands @ Siren
Tiny Masters of Today @ Siren
I really hate doing this to such young artists. And as much as I try to avoid excuses when reviewing music, it’s just way too difficult to throw out the age factor with Brooklyn’s Tiny Masters of Today. Because it was SO unavoidable at Siren. For those who are unaware, Tiny Masters of Today are,… Continue reading Tiny Masters of Today @ Siren
A Place To Bury Strangers @ Siren
Thus begins my string of negative reviews. We weren’t going to be pleased by all of these shows – so I might as well just let you know from the start: I did not like A Place To Bury Strangers. If you’re one of those folks who hate on people disagreeing with you and that… Continue reading A Place To Bury Strangers @ Siren
The Raveonettes @ Siren
On a day full of jocularity, spontaneity, and just general insanity, The Raveonettes were an anomaly. Having never seen the Danish folks live, I was curious how their relaxed music would translate to the stage. Would they amp it up? Would they scream and shout? Would they take their clothes off?? All can be answered… Continue reading The Raveonettes @ Siren
