Boy Genius: Staggering [Album Review]

boy-genius

What an intriguing batch of pop songs Boy Genius has came up with here! Staggering is an album that jingles and jangles it’s way through rockin’ tunes that act as a wonderful sequel to their debut album Anchorage. For returning listeners, you will notice that the first note on this album picks up where their debut left off. Another genius (pun intended) idea from this crafty Brooklyn-based group. It also wasn’t such a bad idea to bring on board super-producer Mitch Easter to help them polish up their happy-go-lucky recordings. Read More »Boy Genius: Staggering [Album Review]

The Good The Bad: 001 (The Bad) [Video]

the-good-the-bad

Everyone should enjoy a nice surf sound. It’s rigid, blaring, and insanely bad-ass. And The Good The Bad are definitely leaders of the new school surf agenda. A great part about watching a band like this is the shock and amazement of how much cooler they are than you. It’s like watching The Big Lewbowski in a three piece suit. These Copenhagen rockers emulate everything that is awesome about being proficient on drum kits and kickin’ electric guitars. Read More »The Good The Bad: 001 (The Bad) [Video]

Jack James: Lights Off, Headphones On [Album Review]

jack-james

There has been alot of grief giving in popular culture about simple man and acoustic guitar rock. America can find a way to relish on the bad of everything. The “bro”-worthy Dave Matthews or Ben Harper are now being laughed at. Glasgow, Scotland apparently feels the same way at times. But, like our soft-core heroes at home, they have an artist who does not give a damn. One Jack James is here to show the beauty of wordplay with his intriguing debut album Lights Off, Headphones On.

The Prime Ministers: Compromiser [Album Review]

the-prime-ministers

If the Gin Blossoms proceeded to follow down whoever they found so infatuating, fellow alternative pop group The Prime Ministers could surely pick up the slack with their medium tempered and mild-mannered album Compromiser. This collection of somewhat funk-driven tracks is not only the descendant of that which has been done, but something that is the predecessor of the fresh and stunning.

Shout Out Louds: Walls [Video]

shout-out-louds

There is a time and place for a band like the pop frenzied Shout Out Louds. And that time is obviously now. Their latest single “Walls” is a verbal demonstration and display of affection toward the ever-changing times being seen throughout the world. There is an independent spirit raging in the youth of now. Kids want action! They want hot-sauced moodiness and a deranged sense of anti-socialism. That’s just the way it is. And this band is the Swedish ambassadors to the new Greenwich or Ashbury crowds of yester-years. Read More »Shout Out Louds: Walls [Video]

The Scruffs: Conquest [Album Review]

scruffs

Like a time-warped whirlwind, the sometimes southern, sometimes Swedish, but always rockin’ band known simply as The Scruffs breaks through again, or for the first time. With the release of Conquest, this band of old-school rockabilly masters have truly conquered (all pun intended) the art of reinvention. Their songs have the ability to create massive nostalgia for middle-aged cats from the glory days, while still intriguing the ever-searching-for-nostalgia troubadours of the new times.

Kordan: Fantasy Nation EP [Album Review]

kordan

Kordan‘s Fantasy Nation kicks right into gear with an almost, dare I say it, “crunk” feel. The intensity hits you harder than an ex-girlfriend’s unexpected blow. Then the madness truly sets in. With a touch of Joy Division, these New York rockers bring glam rock meets punk to a new extreme. This isn’t your older brother’s 80’s influenced rock band. This is the real 80-proof keyboard-ripping sound once known worldwide, and now rearranged to fit the new times. Read More »Kordan: Fantasy Nation EP [Album Review]

The Honest Mistakes: Break Up [Album Review]

the-honest-mistakes

The Honest Mistakes have spent the last decade desperately trying to reach the high they have now been introduced upon. Break Up is the result of a name change (formerly The Chris & Joylene Show, named after the group’s founders), a two year hiatus, three years of recording, and an all-out inspirational attitude that would not allow them to simply lay back and quit. After years of riding the coat tails of completion for so long, the final product is very impressive. Read More »The Honest Mistakes: Break Up [Album Review]

The Inner Banks

The Inner Banks: Songs From Disko Bay [Album Review]

Partners and companions Caroline Schutz and David Gould make quite the team when they become The Inner Banks. They have made quite the mark for themselves as a duo and individually. For example, who can forget Caroline’s haunting expose’ of folk as front woman for the critically acclaimed Folk Songs For The Afterlife!? And there is David’s finger-tip-blistering banjo playing for The Bootleg Remedy. But, it’s their sense of togetherness that makes Songs From Disko Bay so enjoyable.

Retribution Gospel Choir: Hide It Away [mp3]

retribution_gospel_choir

Duluth Minnesota’s Retribution Gospel Choir is about as real as it gets in the world of pop-rock. They have enough energy and vibrancy to power Vegas for at least a few minutes. RGC has been riding off the success of their self-titled debut album recently (touring with Wilco, Meat Puppets, & more), but as always, their progression is never ending. Their sophomore release, 2, will be out January 26th on Sub Pop, and it features the stunning single “Hide It Away”. This track is damn solid. It’s an echoing indie rock love affair with the mistresses of 70’s rock. It has that sort of power that can have you throwing two fists is the air, closing your eyes, and drinking-in 3 minutes of bona fide musical bliss.
