Spires
With vocals reminiscent of Britt Daniel (Spoon) and a definitive Britpop vibe, Spires is bringing back the feel good 1990s. The NYC foursome is picking up local steam and looking to make a name for themselves outside the city. Their debut 7” and digital single “Candy Flip” is slated for official release October 8, but… Continue reading Spires

Faces Together
This one is special on a personal level. Good friend Aaron Leeder, he of Exit Clov, Drunken Sufis, Sri and more, took on the moniker Faces Together for his newest work. The project is meant to be a “visual soundtrack” of sorts, with Leeder doing nearly everything alone, including all instruments, arrangements and mixing. You… Continue reading Faces Together
Porco/Rosso
I guess pigs are “in” these days, because for some reason I’ve seen a lot of them lately on the internets, but I’m not quite sure why. I don’t like looking at them, I don’t like thinking about them, and I’m Jewish, so, really, they don’t cross my mind much otherwise. So I’m grateful for… Continue reading Porco/Rosso
Stars @ Webster Hall
Photo via Brooklyn Vegan by Amanda Hatfield I show up and the doorman is the nicest I’ve ever encountered. I’d never been to Webster Hall before surprisingly, so I’m a little confused about where to enter. He unhooked the red velvet rope for me and said I had my own entrance; I could get used… Continue reading Stars @ Webster Hall
Sri
You sat out on the dock to Lucas Pond and hugged your knees tightly to your chest, toes clenched. You visualized your life in vague memories that you clung to, scared. Why do I hate the feeling but love the thinking? You let go of your knees, took one of your earphones out, and allowed… Continue reading Sri

The rumors are true! Even if you haven’t heard them! On May 11, we are teaming up with exfm for a night of vivid sounds and fierce emotion, all going down at Pianos in good ol’ NYC. This is Knox Road’s first-ever show, so I don’t think I need to say how excited we are.… Continue reading exfm and Knox Road Present: The Wooden Sky, Warm Weather, Port St. Willow & Time Travelers May 11 @ Pianos
[MP3] Sharpless: “Greater Than”
Why is it so much harder these days to find legitimately bouncy pop rock that we don’t have to get all depressed / mellowed out by? I mean, don’t get me wrong, mellow is my THING, but it gets old. I’ve said it a few times here before, but we all need some pep in… Continue reading [MP3] Sharpless: “Greater Than”
