REVIEW: Yung - A Youthful Dream

Thu 23 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

A Youthful Dream brings us a new, well-rounded batch of punk songs that features the perfect amounts of energy, feeling, angst, and nuance. REVIEW: MOURN - Ha, Ha, He

Wed 22 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Although the members of MOURN are barely pushing 20, they just dropped their sophomore album Ha, Ha, He on Captured Tracks. REVIEW: Band of Horses - Why Are You OK

Tue 21 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Band of Horses has managed to sate their fans yet again with their unique brand of soothing Indie Rock or, "Dad Rock" if you will. Lead singer Ben Bridwell wrote the majority of songs while sitting in his own garage, and as a result the album's lyrics paint a very homey picture. Mysteryland Take Two

Mon 20 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

This year's main stage looked kind of like a butterfly with not as much cool lighting or confetti as last year, but the good vibes and energy remained the same. CRSSD Festival Fall 2016 Dates Are Confirmed

Mon 13 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

REVIEW: Alex Calder - Bend

Thu 09 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Throughout his new digital release, Calder reframes distorted, psychedelic rock through his signature bedroom-pop sound. His voice is frank and unstyled, allowing certain abrupt, and at times surprisingly felt, lyrics to shine. Bonnaroo 2016 Live Stream Happens This Weekend

Thu 09 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Wed 08 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

"The Child" has the feel of John Lennon's classic "Imagine" and moves along mid-tempo, with warm electric guitar crunch, piano chords and even a horn section. REVIEW: Megafauna - Welcome Home

Tue 07 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Welcome Home kept me guessing the entire way though, and I love that. It forces you to pay attention to every detail because you dare not miss a beat, or in this case, cascading wind chimes or a synthesizer harmony, or what could easily be a tribute to any 70's hard rock band. Voodoo Experience 2016 Lineup and Tickets Are Out!

Tue 07 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Mon 06 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

"Snowcone" is a textural song with lush ambience and atmospheric drones that are heavily influenced by artists the likes of Boards of Canada, Jon Hopkins or Sigur Ròs, while retaining the artist's signature blend of sound and catchy grooves. REVIEW: Supermoon- "Playland"

Fri 03 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Supermoon brings us a solid new LP of self-aware indie pop tracks. Playland successfully marries elements of upbeat, jangly pop with straightforward garage rock, and each track features intelligent lyrics via the lead singer's sweet vocals that ground the music throughout all the fun. REVIEW: MOURN - "Second Sage"

Thu 02 Jun 2016 13:00:00 GMT

"Second Sage" has the guitar bite and dark grit of early 80s post-punk—especially JuJu era Siouxie and the Banshees. REVIEW: Wolf Parade - EP4

Tue 31 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

The EP barely features 12 minutes of music, but the brevity of this release is one of its most striking features. This is a collection of energetic, direct and spontaneous songs that feel vibrant and inspired, much like the live shows of the band. REVIEW: NYC Popfest

Thu 26 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

The 4-day indiepop celebration simultaneously offers music history and top-rate, feel-good indie pop from all over the world. REVIEW: David Bazan - Blanco

Wed 25 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Bazan should be given credit: he's written a somewhat gothy synthpop record that is different from most of his previous work. He's put together great songwriting and has dressed it up in beautiful synth voicings. Blanco is a beautiful and surprisingly unique work. REVIEW: The Kills - Ash and Ice

Tue 24 May 2016 14:00:00 GMT

This album is a perfectly blended mixture of dirty rock and roll songs and softer, more meaningful tracks. Each song takes full advantage of The Kills' bold sound and Alison Mosshart's soulful and sometimes aggressive vocals. REVIEW: Radiohead - "Daydreaming"

Thu 19 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

There is so much beauty that lies in what is not said and shown in "Daydreaming," and its minimal and subtly emotional atmosphere is a refreshing veer away from the white noise of the everyday. REVIEW: Chris Cohen - As If Apart

Wed 18 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

As If Apart is a sad record, but it never gets in your face. It touches you like the chill of a breeze when walking on an autumn evening. It's celestial, touching and hard to pin down. REVIEW: White Lung - Paradise

Tue 17 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Paradise is an extremely bold album with a blazing attitude and a solid concrete foundation of Punk Rock. This album marks White Lung's foray into the Indie Rock scene, and skillfully meshed with their Punk roots, the end result is something to behold. REVIEW: Radiohead - "Burn The Witch"

Mon 16 May 2016 13:00:00 GMT

Radiohead are continuing on their quest to bridge the gaps between alternative rock and electronic music on "Burn The Witch." Vintage drum machine and retro moog bass lines blend with strings and Thom Yorke's voice in a very otherworldly way.
