Jon Hardy & The Public: Sugar EP [Album Review]

Jon Hardy And The Public

In the modern world, to truly be a “timeless” artist you have to dig deep and have recognizable influences dating back to the elusive doo-wop era. Often, artists like these are said to “stand the test of time.” For some folks, that test might be a 5th grade level true or false, because they’re just not going to make it. It’s the cold heard reality. But, it’s a reality that Jon Hardy will not have to worry about. This St. Louis singer/songwriter and his band, The Public, make beautiful songs that obviously gather wide influence from The Four Tops to Randy Newman to The Boss himself. Their sound is beyond the regular or measurable comparisons you may hear on a daily basis. And their latest EP, Sugar, is unlike anything you have heard, or were probably even looking for, in the last few years. Read More »Jon Hardy & The Public: Sugar EP [Album Review]

The Fenbi International Superstars: Two Miles From Home [Video]

The Fenbi International Superstars

Portland’s favorite and most outlandish band of gypsies has teamed up with the amazingly gifted animation artist Temris Ridge to bring you their terrific new track “Two Miles From Home”. The worldly boys of The Fenbi International Superstars have strayed from their classic mild mannered Irish stamina to bring their every growing fan base a tale of the demons that you will never be able to avoid. They have chosen a nice catchy indie pop sound to bring out the message rather than their signature ‘happier than Gogol-Bordello’ sound, proving once again that they have neither the fear, nor the lack of ability to touch any ground in the world of music they please.

The Rest announce “Cried Wolf” Book/EP Release & “Everyone All At Once” International Release

rest

The Rest had a wonderful 2009. They self released their sophomore album Everyone All At Once to much critical acclaim and thus ended up on numerous “Best Of” list for the year. They sold out shows in their hometown of Toronto, Canada. They dropped another E.P., WOW, to even greater critical ass kissing awesomeness. All the while, they built a massive fan base not only in the Ontario underworld, but across the globe. And with only three and half months into the current year, the gang is already showing promise for an even more eventful 2010.

The Sweet Serenades: Die Young [Video]

sweet-serenades

The Sweet Serenades are, well, just that; a sweet compilation of all things happy or sad, in mourning or bliss. This Swedish duo look as though they could be pounding lagers amongst muscly, flanneled woodsmen, but damned if they wouldn’t hesitate to break into a beautiful ballad at any moment. “Die Young”, from their amazing album Balcony Cigarettes, is a beautiful track serenading (pun, intended) one of the greatest yet most heartbreaking mistakes human beings can make: the one night stand. With guest vocals from Club 8’s Karolina Komstedt, this tremendous little ditty, recently featured on the for some reason still hit show Grey’s Anatomy, is sure to steal your heart. Or, as these guys portray it, wish it were worn as a giant suit for all to see. Read More »The Sweet Serenades: Die Young [Video]

Portugal. The Man: The Dead Dog [mp3]

Portugal. The Man

Portugal. The Man never seem to tire out. It hasn’t been a year since they released The Satanic Satanist, and already they will be releasing their fifth album, American Ghetto, this May. This promises to be another giant step forward for these hard working rock and roll vagabonds. Their first single “The Dead Dog” finds The Man running through another terrifying tale with a catchy hook and wonderful experimentation of instrumentals, the likes of which have not been heard of in some time. If the spirit and social contemplation of this song is supposed to represent the beautiful complexity of the forthcoming album, then we are in for a real treat. But who would really be surprised or expect anything less from these guys? Read More »Portugal. The Man: The Dead Dog [mp3]

Bombs Into You: Metaphorically Yours [Vol. 2] [Album Review]

Bombs Into You

Anybody can enjoy a nice “almost punk” sound. And if you can’t, you’re likely to drown in that bottle of Jameson you call a life. Misery is necessary for the wicked, but sometimes we need to dance and love. A group like Bombs Into You are the perfect match for all those who wish to hear their bad news in a positive vibe. Metaphorically Yours [Vol 2] is a spectacular display of new wave pop at it’s finest. Read More »Bombs Into You: Metaphorically Yours [Vol. 2] [Album Review]

Louisiana Territory: Traces Of Gold [Album Review]

louisiana-territory

Songwriting is an art that few can really perfect. Some artists have spent their entire lives producing words of wisdom, fear, turmoil, love, happiness, drastic sadness, etc. Some get heard and understood, some don’t. Bob Dylan has written more songs than you can shake a fedora at. So much work has been put into this art form, it’s almost unfair for it to go unnoticed. But, Richmond’s Louisiana Territory is bound for personal and recognizable glory with the wonderfully written words they have brought to life on their debut, full-length album Traces of Gold.

The Mercury Program: Chez Viking [Album Review]

mercury-program

After an extended leave of absence from the recording world, The Mercury Program are back in full effect with their latest release, Chez Viking. With an intriguing blend of atmosphere-filling sounds, these experimentalists by nature bring forth something of a fondue pot of boiling and bizarre collaborations between vibraphones and a taunting rhythm section. Their style would almost seem simple by nature if it didn’t leave you with an out-of-this-world, hand job from an alien-like euphoria after one listen.

UltraChorus: Ultra-Def [Album Review]

UltraChorus

Chris Heidman knows electronic music. Jeff Lorentzen knows R&B/hip hop flavor. Together they make UltraChorus, a digitized electro-pop frenzy that rivals the likes of Gnarls Barkley or Hot Chip. Because of the nonconforming and experimental irregularities that their debut album Ultra-Def has against modern R&B, there is an indifference in what this Minneapolis based duo should be labeled. All that’s really important to understand is that these cats have soul and can write one hell of a love song. Whatever category their qualities are dubbed, they probably exceed the necessary credentials for that three others as well. Read More »UltraChorus: Ultra-Def [Album Review]
