Jethro Fox

It’s imperative that we start our weeks off right following the long Thanksgiving break (for many of us). Jethro Fox, out of Liverpool, fits the bill with this bouncy pop gem, “Before.” I can’t find much negative to say about “Before,” actually, except that it leaves me wanting more. In today’s hypercritical society, that is… Continue reading Jethro Fox

Little Arrow

Slipping blades of grass between her toes. She’s draped across the lawn, twirling the pen from pinkie to thumb, sundress lying gently beside her. She sits up; looks up; puts the pen to paper. The clouds refuse to move today. Time stops for just this once, she writes. Just this once, she hopes. Her mother… Continue reading Little Arrow

[MP3] Hero and Leander: “Una”

Hero and Leander are five guys and one special lady out of Liverpool, Essex, and Reading, fusing energetic pop with darker overtones for a scintillating sound. Three-part harmonies dominate the landscape on “Una,” the first single off their debut E.P. to be released this summer. It’s one lively listen. Hero and Leander – “Una” [MP3]… Continue reading [MP3] Hero and Leander: “Una”

Winter Villains

So, interesting story. Mostly. Late last night, I was listening to a new band, as has become par for the course writing a music blog and all. (End of story. Just kidding!) I quickly became enamored with their sound, and decided to check everyones’s best friend last.fm to see if any tags were associated with the… Continue reading Winter Villains

[Notable Album Release] Rue Royale – Guide To An Escape

Rue Royale is another band that comes my way via the inimitable Brendan Losch, who never fails to impress with his musical selection (check his blog, Count Me Out). The Royale husband and wife duo are friends with Losch from their Chicago days, but have since moved to the UK, which is noticeable in their… Continue reading [Notable Album Release] Rue Royale – Guide To An Escape

Beaulieu Porch

Beaulieu Porch is noise. And it’s pretty. And it’s raucous. And it’s pretty. It will all make sense when you listen. Someone’s shredding some dirty guitar. Beaulieu Porch – “The Colour 55” [MP3] Beaulieu Porch – “Raspberry Babies” [MP3] Beaulieu Porch is the pysch-pop project of Simon Berry, from Salisbury, UK. His new 7″ single… Continue reading Beaulieu Porch

[MP3] Hey Sholay: “Dreamboat”

Oh man. This is EXACTLY the kind of tune I needed to finish off a freezing cold / snow-laden week in NYC. Bouncy; peppy; totally infectious. It makes me smile. Hey Sholay – “Dreamboat” [MP3] Hey Sholay is a new five-piece band from Sheffield, UK and their providing music on the internet is an even… Continue reading [MP3] Hey Sholay: “Dreamboat”
