A Cure For The Broken-Hearted [Feature]

mocking-bird

The Philadelphia-based record label, Edible Onion, might very well be the only thing that can be called music as we once knew it. In the digital frenzy of now, it is often harder get yourself excited about a new release — even one from your favorite artist. Few folks venture away from their laptops to buy music anymore (and that’s a shame). For anyone born in the 90’s, you might be surprised to learn that there once were stores called “Record Stores”, “Music Shops” etc. that sold albums and music related accessories exclusively! I’m not kidding, look them up! Edible Onion knows this very well. That is why they have developed an ingenious way of merging the old school with the status commenting new school by developing beautiful hand painted and sewed, uniquely designed album jackets and records of some of the best mild mannered artists creating music right now. And how does this match the new spirit of an entirely internet based world? Well, even as short as the runs might be, you can buy them online from your la-z-boy!

The Superions: Who Threw That Ham At Me ? [Video]

The Superions

Let’s not sugar coat the story here. The Superions‘ single and respected video, “Who Threw That Ham At Me” is nothing more than a strange story about getting caught shoplifiting meat products and all while enjoying a nice disco and inventing a new dance to twirl about and “flip your lid”. Seems kind of strange, right? But, once you realize that the ring leader of this estranged disco circus is none other than Fred Schneider, it might make more sense. This is indeed the man who successfully lodged the idea into our heads that there is such a thing as a “Rock Lobster”. Few folks could pull off these antics with such grace. Schneider seems to have no problem though. Read More »The Superions: Who Threw That Ham At Me ? [Video]

Archie Bronson Outfit: Shark’s Tooth [mp3]

Archie Bronson Outfit

Archie Bronson Outfit‘s single “Shark’s Tooth” seems to be set in a time and space completely separate from existence we know. Its drastically elevated tempo is dance-floor worthy, though precisely too high. It is surf music taken to a brand new, quite radical level. Archie Bronson Outfit has this beat-driven euphoria that is sure to whisk you away to a heavenly place buried in your subconscious, where all you care to do is dance until your feet blister and fall apart. A fair warning needs to be given to the mopey, sad youth of today: Do not listen to Archie Bronson Outfit. You might actually learn to enjoy yourself.

Steel Train: Turnpike Ghost [mp3]

Steel Train

Steel Train has been growing in mass appeal over the last couple years. Their work is seen by many as a new stronghold in the mainstream yet somewhat indie rock world. And it’s all with good cause! The exclamation point for their recent success is going to be their upcoming June release, just in time for the summer festival circuit, with previews throughout the spring circuit! The guys have been kind enough to drop their first single for a nice preview of the intense indie hardcore style. “Turnpike Ghost” is a beautiful slice of guitar screeching and cymbal spanking pie that will use its high octane efficiency to demand your attention.

Menhirs of Er Grah: Billy Cross’s Daughter [Album Review]

Menhirs of Er Grah

The always musically vigilant singer/songwriter Thom Carter has some stories to tell on his third release as Menhirs of Er Grah, Billy Cross’s Daughter. And they are amongst the best he has even told. Thom has announced that he has tried to “bury his Eric Clapton CD’s in a casket under the sea”. But, even he will admit that he still has subliminal nods to the king of Cream throughout this amazing album. Read More »Menhirs of Er Grah: Billy Cross’s Daughter [Album Review]

Kadman: These Old Bones [Album Review]

kadman

True folk-pop minimalists are of a rare breed these days. Many folks have become perfectly fond of only accepting Nick Drake and a handful of other Drake ripoffs hanging around. My recommendation: let these conformists have a listen to Kadman’s sophomore release These Old Bones. Let thee be regretful and God forgive them for their ignorance when they hear the awesome sounds of this Baltimore-based threesome. Read More »Kadman: These Old Bones [Album Review]

Thrilled Skinny: Just Another Teenage Dream [Album Review]

Thrilled Skinny

Punk is dead. This is, more or less, a fact. Save for the rare new group to break out or the senior citizens out there still rocking hard (Bad Religion, Henry Rollins, etc.), the whole idealism and solid truths of punk rock is long and gone. It seems as though the best we can hope for is a solid pop punk group swaying their spiked hair and stretched earlobes all over the stages of The Warped Tour (Broadway Calls seems to be the elite in this category). Still, things can never be as eventful as they once were. So thank the anarchist Christ that Pop Noise Records had the brilliant idea to distribute Just Another Teenage Dream, a brand new best of collection of loud, fast, and throat cutting tracks from the former back alleys of England superstars, Thrilled Skinny.

Noise Annoys Simon: You Say It, I’ll Know It [Album Review]

Noise Annoys Simon

What in the hell has happened to alternative pop music? There was a time when sweet guitar riffs and soft-spoken lyrics reigned supreme. Even misery was an exciting topic when a cat like Dave Pirner would spill his guts on a record about runaway trains and frustration as a business plot. The anger of today may have substantially seeped into pop music, but not in every case. Definitely not in the UK’s rising pop stars Noise Annoys Simon. These guys bring back the glory days in a wonderful fashion with their debut album You Say It, I’ll Know It. Read More »Noise Annoys Simon: You Say It, I’ll Know It [Album Review]
