There’s only so many positive things you can say about one man and one band. Ted Wendler and Mansions on the Moon strike again. Count this as another MotM song I’ll be listening to on repeat. So smooth. Mansions on the Moon – “Rest Of Your Days” [MP3] Mansions on the Moon on Knox Road |… Continue reading [MP3] Mansions on the Moon: “Rest Of Your Days”

Bogan Via
Bogan Via is a duo out of Phoenix that makes my heart go aflutter. Madeleine Miller’s sweet falsetto is gently contrasted with Bret Bender’s raspy baritone. The songs heavily rely on the duo’s vocals, but the angelic instrumentation also makes me swoon. Also, these words from Bender make it that much sweeter: About four months… Continue reading Bogan Via
Brae
Brae is Brandon Husken, who’s been in the music scene for 22 years but has recently rediscovered himself as a singer/songwriter. His forthcoming album, Another Time and Place, marks his third full length as Brae, but it’s his first real effort into getting the word out there about the project. Husken is a multi-instrumentalist, specializing… Continue reading Brae
Summertime Kids
It’s been a mostly mellow week on Knox Road, and that continues with Summertime Kids, the moniker of Gainesville, Florida’s Nick Roberts. He’s 19 years old and has a whole world ahead of him, but it’s slightly disheartening that he’s making such melancholic songs. His first solo album, Table Manners, was recorded at the latest hours… Continue reading Summertime Kids

They’re still in the beginning phase of their career together, which you can tell from the somewhat unvaried music throughout their self-titled EP, but their sound keeps my ears keen. It’s wonderfully charming and… Continue reading Plainclothes Tracy
[Notable Album Release] Rue Royale – Guide To An Escape
Rue Royale is another band that comes my way via the inimitable Brendan Losch, who never fails to impress with his musical selection (check his blog, Count Me Out). The Royale husband and wife duo are friends with Losch from their Chicago days, but have since moved to the UK, which is noticeable in their… Continue reading [Notable Album Release] Rue Royale – Guide To An Escape
Sunbeam
Don’t you just love it when a bunch of friends and loved ones come together as a band? The chemistry is already there, they know each other’s tendencies, now they just get to jam together. So. Beautiful. Sigh. Sunbeam is a six-piece baroque pop band out of Portland, Oregon, started by husband and wife duo,… Continue reading Sunbeam
Little Light
Little Light was recommended by good friend Brendan Losch, he of Bullets in Madison and, um, Brendan Losch. Considering how much Brendan knows about music and how it essentially takes over every facet of his life, I never take his suggestions lightly. Which continues to be the right decision. Little Light recently released their debut… Continue reading Little Light
