Nothing like a catchy, British pop rock ditty to get you going on a dreary day. I add British because come on, they typically capture the indie rock sound way better than Americans. Don’t deny the truth! Kurran and the Wolfnotes will officially release “Your Four Limbs” September 13, as a single on Chess Club… Continue reading [MP3] Kurran and the Wolfnotes: âYour Four Limbsâ

[MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: âMovinâ On To Avalonâ
Weird music is all the craze these days, ya know? But what does “weird” actually mean, if everything we’re listening to is “weird”? Something different? Straying entirely from the mainstream?

So many questions, I know (and most are questions several of you have been… Continue reading [MP3] Eagle Winged Palace: âMovinâ On To Avalonâ

Dabbles In Bloom
Dabbles In Bloom are a super young band, and it shows through their music, but only in the best of ways. They’re a group of musicians out of Washington (state) who define “cute” indie pop, with jangly instrumentation and back and forth male-female vocals. Perfectly suited for kids’ commercials or a cut of any Michael… Continue reading Dabbles In Bloom
