I wasn’t planning on posting tonight, but I was listening to my music, along came CALLmeKAT, and I couldn’t resist holding onto this gem any longer. CALLmeKAT is an absolutely breathtaking female singer/songwriter (with a host of different instruments to spare) from Denmark, whose EP, I’m In A Polaroid – Where Are You?, was released… Continue reading CALLmeKAT, call me awestruck.

New Dayliner Song: “The Promise Ring”

The song is called “The Promise Ring”, which we have up for download right here at Knox Road! Be sure to visit their website for more mp3s (of the free variety). Dayliner… Continue reading New Dayliner Song: “The Promise Ring”
iTunes Mixery
It’s that time again! If you’ve been reading along, you know the rules. If not, here’s a little refresher: I press shuffle play on iTunes, and then tell you which 5 songs show up and provide a little tidbit and the mp3 (most of the time). Judging is allowed. Here’s hoping I don’t embarrass myself.… Continue reading iTunes Mixery
Bang! Bang! Eche!
From Christchurch, NZ (yeah, yeah I know) comes Bang! Bang! Eche!, a wonderfully energetic and tight band that will rock your ass like it’s never been rocked. They sort of come from the same vein as fellow NZ band Thought Creature, who I mentioned a few weeks ago. The group formed in May 2007 and… Continue reading Bang! Bang! Eche!
No Second Troy
No Second Troy is a DC act (I know, I’m not in that area anymore, but I don’t forget my Knox Road roots) that has recently been picking up a ton of momentum, and for good reason. Their sprawling atmospheric rock is highly listenable for fans of many genres. Their mix of diverse sound (keys,… Continue reading No Second Troy
New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”
So “Tonight” was just a bonus track from Lykke Li’s debut Youth Novels, but I guess it gets a video anyway (where’s the video for “Little Bit,” huh?). Stereogum premiered the video earlier today, and appropriately drew a connection to Sinead O’Connor (minus the whole picture of the pope thing). It’s pretty basic, and compared to her awesome last videos,… Continue reading New Lykke Li Video: “Tonight”

“Prom Queen” from Lil Wayne’s New Rock Album
So Grammy-nominated hip-hop king Lil Wayne has already told everyone in the world that he’s making a rock album, and it’s actually happening for some reason. Rebirth is due out April 7, and Weezy plays the guitar and sings and everything! The album’s first single, “Prom Queen,” kind of gives you an idea of what… Continue reading “Prom Queen” from Lil Wayne’s New Rock Album
Julian Velard covers Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold”
YES! New Yorker Julian Velard is finally making a name for himself, and rightfully so. I’ve been following him for several years now, as he is a friend of a friend (thanks Moshe). It’s exciting that people are considering him to be a breakout artist for 2009, even though he’s been making music for quite… Continue reading Julian Velard covers Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold”
I keep listening to: The Middle East – “Blood”
The past week I’ve been listening to the song “Blood”, from Australia’s The Middle East, over and over. And over. The band has been compared to Arcade Fire, treading forbidden territory, yet I am of the opinion that this is indeed an apt description, at least for the second half of “Blood”, which yields a… Continue reading I keep listening to: The Middle East – “Blood”
