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

In an exciting bout of events, my roommate, Jeremy ‘Seafoam’ Green, performed this past Sunday night (Jan 25) at NYC’s prestigious Highline Ballroom (where Bell X1 will be touring soon to promote their new album Blue Lights On The Runway) with his band, Seafoam and the Psychedelic Chain Gang. And what a performance it was.… Continue reading Seafoam and the Psychedelic Chain Gang’s performance at The Highline Ballroom

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”

Lost Season 5 Music Video: The Fray – “You Found Me”

Not exactly a video I’d expect from Lost considering they’ve used popular music like once on the show (Damien Rice’s Cannonball in the first season), but nevertheless this should get you excited whether you’re watching the premiere RIGHT NOW or are going to watch soon.  I don’t feel like providing the mp3 because you can… Continue reading Lost Season 5 Music Video: The Fray – “You Found Me”
