I was just thinking about Young Hearts last week and wondering what the band was up to. I absolutely loved the band’s last EP, The Fight. So, it was quite weird to hear just a few days later that the band had issued a new EP that was up for free download. My mind is […]

- These are the covers for Q And Not U’s three singles. I always thought their single record covers were better than their album record covers. Go figure. Great band either way though.

Columbus, Ohio’s Six Gallery has been on my radar for a while now. I recently (finally) downloaded the band’s 2008 EP, entitled Prelude, and I am left extremely impressed once again.

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’m about to head out of town for the day…going to see The Weakerthans tonight in NC. It’s probably been a good four years since I’ve seen the band so I’m rather stoked about it.
- Check out Quote Unquote Records. A very cool label idea especially in this musical climate. I suggest checking out […]

OK, this one is a foreign affair.
Foals - These guys are signed to Sub Pop so you will probably see them everywhere shortly. For good reason though. Similar to Bloc Party at times but a lot more experimental in nature.
Boyandroid - German band that reminds me of good, sensitive (emo?) rock like Death Cab For […]

Carcrashlander “Carcrashlander” (Parks And Records)

Carcrashlander is the project started by Cory Gray. You might not know that name but if you have an album from a Portland band there is probably a good chance he might be playing somewhere on it. Gray is a session player for acts as diverse as The Decemberists, Grails, Norfolk […]

Denali released two excellent albums with distinct but similar covers. Oh Maura!
