Our rising friends from Minnesota, The Farewell Circuit, recently recorded and released a new song for Think Out Loud – a charity dedicated to helping the homeless in Minnesota through music. I don’t want to muck up their mission at all, so here’s what we know: Think Out Loud is bringing together Minnesota businesses, musicians,… Continue reading The Farewell Circuit records new song for Think Out Loud charity

[MP3] Julian Lynch: “Droplet on a Hot Stone”

New Jersey music extraordinaire Julian Lynch will be releasing his much-hyped album Mare later this summer, so Underwater Peoples is releasing some of his older material in anticipation. In 2009, Lynch made 75 CD-R copies of his album Born2Run, but hasn’t given it a wider release. Now UP is giving away a copy of the… Continue reading [MP3] Julian Lynch: “Droplet on a Hot Stone”

Born Ruffians struggle to mature on Say It

In 2008, Born Ruffians pleased and impressed us with an album called Red, Yellow and Blue, a raucous rock trip through a handful of genres, all wrapped up in the unifying force of what sounds like drunken pub tunes. It was maybe immature, sure, but it was great. Now, the Canadian group is back with… Continue reading Born Ruffians struggle to mature on Say It

Monday is Memorial Day mix (Part 2)

This is the second installment of my Memorial Day mix, which will happen every, um, Memorial Day. Take a look back at last year’s mix here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work…can’t just leave them up forever!). We Knox Roadians hope you’re all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends.

In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

It’s reaaaaallly hard for me not to talk about the NBA finals here (go Celtics), but I think I filled my basketball quota a couple Week In Reviews ago. Meanwhile, I’m already talking about basketball. Sorry. Umm let’s see, what important stuff happened this week that would cause you to miss Knox Road? Oh, American… Continue reading In Case You Missed It: Week In Review

[Notable Album Release] William Brittelle – Television Landscape

Totally obsessed; wholly impressed. NYC composer William Brittelle is releasing his sophomore effort, Television Landscape, on July 27 via New Amsterdam Records. Mixing autotune vocals with classical, jazz, and modern pop instrumentation, Brittelle is truly one-of-a-kind. Don’t try limiting his music or having any expectations of Television Landscape, because they’ll be trashed immediately. He thrives off the ups… Continue reading [Notable Album Release] William Brittelle – Television Landscape

[MP3] Sweet Track: “Upon Joining The Army”

After reading the short blurb for Sweet Track, a highly unknown artist with a mere 52 plays scrobbled on last.fm, I was…confused: Some where between the lost tapes of your youth and the controversy of chillwave fits Sweet Track, creating that irritatingly familiar yet new sound that’s made for basking in comfortable nostalgia while staying… Continue reading [MP3] Sweet Track: “Upon Joining The Army”

[MP3] Club 8: “Shape Up!”

Club 8, another in the long line of excellent Swede pop purveyors, just released one of my favorite tracks off their latest album, The People’s Record, for free download. (We’re so used to getting tracks before the album release nowadays that this technique seems archaic, but hey, why not?). It’s titled “Shape Up!” and doesn’t follow… Continue reading [MP3] Club 8: “Shape Up!”

Spring Summer

I’ve had this one sitting around for a little while, but now that we’ve received 100 degree weather and cooling thunderstorms on back-to-back days I figured it was a good time to post about an artist named “Spring Summer”…don’t you agree? What can I say, I’m a man with a plan! Spring Summer, aka Jennifer… Continue reading Spring Summer
