OK, so I know who Martin Dosh is. I have seen him in person drum for the great Andrew Bird on two seperate occasions. He is an amazing drummer to say the least. And I knew that he had his own project as well. So, why have I waited until now to check it out? […]
I swear I have been writing a review for Pomegranates new album, Everything Is Alive all week. I just can’t stop adding more instead of actually finishing the review. This is an album that took a while to hit me but when it did…wow. The band has truly grown leaps and bounds since their debut […]
Algernon Cadwallader “Some Kind Of Cadwallader” (?)
- That is the not the real artwork and a bunch of labels are putting this out (LP/CD) of which I can’t recall. But, based on the number of hits I get in regards to this band lately, I would say they are about to explode. As expected, the […]
Sun Kil Moon “April” (Caldo Verde)
- Simply beautiful. Mark Kozelek really can do no wrong…it’s true.

Antlers “Antlers” (Rorschach)
Richmond, VA’s Antlers debut self-titled LP is one of the more thrilling releases I have had the pleasure to hear lately. From ex and current members of bands like Mass Movement of the Moth! and Gregor Samsa, Antlers are forging new frontiers. LP packaging and vinyl are beautiful as well. Review upcoming.

I hear you wondering out loud
Are you ever gonna make it?
Will you ever work it out?
Will you ever take a chance
And just believe you can?
Hell yeah you will
You’re gonna be okay
And you might get lost
But then you’ll find a way
Don’t go alone
Can’t be afraid
Hell yeah!
I have not listened to Avail in far too long. Over The James is probably my favorite Avail album and let me say, it still sounds tremendous nine years later.

Radiohead “In Rainbows” (Self-Released)
- Self-released…how awesome is that. I’ve listened to this twice now already. I think it is their best work since Kid A.
David Dondero “Simple Love” (Team Love)
- If you want to know where Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes copped his vocal style then all you need to do is pick up any David Dondero album. Apparently, Oberst has admitted just that in interviews. One would hope so because there is no way he could possibly get […]
The Winter Sounds “Porcelain Empire” (Livewire)
