Jamie, Jon, and helpful contributor Brittany will provide you with extensive coverage of the festival – all published over the next few days.

[MP3] Andy Clockwise: “The Casanova (Remember Love)”
I had never heard of Los Angeles-based Andy Clockwise before popping open the ol’ Knox Road mailbag this morning. And now that I have heard of the group, I’m better for it. For serious. See, lately I’ve been favoring songs that are all massive towers of instruments and hyper-emotional vocals, and they’re great, seriously, but… Continue reading [MP3] Andy Clockwise: “The Casanova (Remember Love)”
Hip Hatchet
It’s been a while since I’ve given you some good folk pop, hasn’t it? I mean, I recently posted about Arran Arctic’s new single, “The Door”, but he changed his direction slightly with that song so it wasn’t fully soft folk anymore. Well, here’s to hoping Hip Hatchet, out of Middlebury, Vermont, (which surprised me… Continue reading Hip Hatchet
[MP3] Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: “Banned (By The Man)”
Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin are sharing the second promo track off their forthcoming album Let It Sway, due out next month. The song is called “Banned (By The Man)”, and reinforces the effervescent pop of SSLYB, which comes at a perfect time. It’s a major breath of fresh air from all the hazy… Continue reading [MP3] Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin: “Banned (By The Man)”
[MP3] The Cascade: “Super Television”
After hearing that our good friends The Scarlet Ending will be sharing a D.C. billing with The Cascade, I naturally needed to find out more. And by more, I mean anything at all. The Cascade began early this year in D.C. and quickly turned into a FIFTEEN piece musical collective. The leader of the pack is… Continue reading [MP3] The Cascade: “Super Television”
I Am The Dot
I Am The Dot is the project of Zach Tipton, from Georgia by way of Denver. He recently released a new EP, titled The Royal Few, which you can get on the major cheap (one dollar…) from his Bandcamp. Tipton has plenty of material under his I Am The Dot moniker, including five official releases,… Continue reading I Am The Dot
Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”
Jónsi recently licensed his song “Go Do” off his stellar solo debut, Go (our review here), for use in a new commercial (Dulux Walls Ad) for the Let’s Colour Project. The Let’s Colour Project is a worldwide initiative for local communities to paint schools, streets, homes, and squares. My words will probably get in the… Continue reading Let’s Colour Project commercial: Jónsi’s “Go Do”
Hands release video for “Hold”
L.A. based Hands just released the music video for “Hold”, their first official HIT single, which we covered some time ago. The video is a complete reinterpretation of the song. Hands wrote “Hold” with the theme of having a constantly changing perspective on life, whereas the video, conceptualized and directed by two University students in Germany… Continue reading Hands release video for “Hold”
In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Did you enjoy your short week? We sure did! The heat stayed around but our whining ceased (well, mostly). You may have missed Knox Road this week due to, oh I dunno, taking too many xanax to deal with Bron Bron’s DECISION. Or you were arguing about how Friday Night Lights didn’t get enough Emmy… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review
Glass Animals
Glass Animals, from London and the Southeast UK, have a comforting, unique sound. Their ability to mix experimental, electronic samples with accessible rhythms is not an easy feat. The music is at once tranquil and calming, but the grooves-driven sound gives Glass Animals a great deal of swagger. Dave Bayley is the leading man behind… Continue reading Glass Animals
