New York trio Dead Leaf Echo have just begun the pre-sale for their upcoming first 7″, Half-Truth. The titular A side is available for listening on the band’s website, and it’s probably worth a listen if you have approximately 4 minutes and 41 seconds available. And no less. Some people organize their schedules really specifically,… Continue reading Dead Leaf Echo to release 7″

[MP3] Tim Williams – “I Hit Another Wall”
Want a nice little ditty? Well, I got a nice little ditty, just for you. It comes courtesy of Tim Williams, the NYC-based songwriter. The song moves along behind what sounds like a constant drum machine and a bunch of assorted guitar and synth tones, combined with Williams’ agreeable voice. It’s pretty neat. I have… Continue reading [MP3] Tim Williams – “I Hit Another Wall”
Greg Fine makes the mood
Greg Fine’s music first graced my ears in an unassuming manner. From a humble email, which surely indicated a humble background, Fine described his new CD, Always Time, in a succinct manner, explaining which tracks he can still listen to over and over, and the inspiration with which they were written. Nothing more, nothing less.… Continue reading Greg Fine makes the mood
Notable Album Release: As Tall As Lions – You Can’t Take It With You
Ending the longest string of [MP3] openings (Edit: Jon beat me to it) in the history of KR (Jamie got a little wild there, I know) is a brief spotlight on As Tall As Lions‘ new effort, You Can’t Take It With You, which drops August 18 (next week). To be perfectly honest, I knew… Continue reading Notable Album Release: As Tall As Lions – You Can’t Take It With You
We The They beam vivacity
Despite a name that conjures…actually, I’m not sure what We The They conjures. And I don’t really care. I’m sure it’s something connotative or humorous, but even if it was something ridiculously emotorical (made up word -> reeking of emo metaphors) and cheesy, I wouldn’t care. Because their music puts a smile on my face,… Continue reading We The They beam vivacity

Spotlight Saturday: Beat Radio
Ok, so I make it seem like Spotlight Saturday is actually a feature here on Knox Road. It’s not. This is the first time I’m doing it (not meaning a spotlight of course – we’ve had several of those, just not by way of “Spotlight Saturday”), but honestly, I like alliterations and I really wanted… Continue reading Spotlight Saturday: Beat Radio
Knox Road interview with Exit Clov
With great excitement I announce to you all that we recently had the wonderful opportunity of doing some q+a with a KR favorite, D.C.’s own indie pop darlings, Exit Clov. Fittingly, Exit Clov will be starting their East Coast tour in D.C. at the Black Cat on April 1 (as Jamie noted) and then right… Continue reading Knox Road interview with Exit Clov

While we’re so busy reviewing music ourselves here at Knox Road, we dont get enough of a chance to share some unknown artists that are impressively found by others in the blogosphere. So, I would like to present to all of you a NY duo I recently discovered from Heather over at the wonderful I… Continue reading Abbie Gardner / Anthony da Costa
