“Brave Motion”, coming to you live, hot off the press! It’s only fitting that the day after our second birthday comes a new MP3 from an artist that has been a staple of our existence. Like Balmorhea, I’ve exhausted many a word on our LA buds Hands, and they’re not really the type of band that needs to be analyzed… Continue reading [MP3] Hands: “Brave Motion”

Hey! It’s Knox Road’s second birthday!
Ohhhhh the memories! I remember when I wrote the very first KR post exactly two years ago about Tokyo Police Club’s appearance on Desperate Housewives. Wasn’t that a gas! Well I stopped watching that shitty show because I realized that no number of indie band cameos can save a sinking plot and ridiculous sweeps-like events… Continue reading Hey! It’s Knox Road’s second birthday!
Mixed emotions: The Golden Filter remix The Morning Benders’ “Excuses”
I love The Golden Filter, I really do. Their new album wasn’t the best or anything but I enjoyed it very much! The Morning Benders, on the other hand, are a band I love who happened to make one of the best albums I’ve heard in a very long time. The gem of that album,… Continue reading Mixed emotions: The Golden Filter remix The Morning Benders’ “Excuses”
Zach Hurd
Zach Hurd is a Brooklyn based singer/songwriter who makes acoustic pop that straddles the line between mainstream and atypical. He has sugary vocals and simple guitar tones to work the mass appeal but adds unusual harmonies and a variety of backing noises. Hurd released a full-length album, Changing Landscapes, earlier this year. Unfortunately, only half… Continue reading Zach Hurd
Oak Island
A mere 339 plays on Last.fm…and the music is actually really good! Oak Island, aka Jeff Zito, is the kind of artist I’m more than willing to post about. A musician, writer (check out his blog, “Eating A Hobo”, here), and apparent cat-lover (check out his Bandcamp pics…) based out of Queens, New York, Zito is… Continue reading Oak Island
[MP3] The Farewell Circuit: “Christmas Bird”
Am I jumping the gun? Probably. I also fear I’m stepping on Jamie’s toes a bit, as he’s had his Christmas features in the past, and I’m, well, Jewish (NO HE DI’N’T!). But who can ignore when The Farewell Circuit sends over a track they recorded a couple years ago in anticipation of a potential… Continue reading [MP3] The Farewell Circuit: “Christmas Bird”
[MP3] Balmorhea: “Clamor”
I’m not really sure what to do anymore with Balmorhea. I’ve written so many posts about them and they continue to provide top-notch tunes with the same affect. I just don’t know what to say that I haven’t already said. So go ahead, read back a bit, I’m not rehashing words just for the sake of… Continue reading [MP3] Balmorhea: “Clamor”
Jonah
Nope, I’m not getting all biblical on you. Yes, this band has been around for ten years and I’m just now hearing about them. Nope, those two things have nothing to do with each other. Yes, there is definitely something wrong with me. Especially having not heard of Jonah before (…among other things, of course).… Continue reading Jonah
[MP3] Fredrik: “White on White”
Well guys, I’m back from New Orleans for work and my, do I have some great new music to share with you. Thanks so much for your patience! It was a busy week, but I’ll be coming at you with several posts over the next few days. On that note, there is little better than… Continue reading [MP3] Fredrik: “White on White”
[MP3] Hancock Basement: “One in a Million Does”
Nothing like some new, bouncy Australian pop from folks we’ve excitedly featured in the past. Hancock Basement remains unencumbered by genre trends, moving forward with their own brand of pop weirdness, oooh-ahhhs, and general likeability. They get me going on a day like today, where I need all the energy I can muster to pack… Continue reading [MP3] Hancock Basement: “One in a Million Does”
