Clean Equations: People/Variables [Album Review]

clean-equations

A little dose of pretty soundscape pop can be a wonderful thing to have in your life. Finding that perfect background music for the gentlest of moments in your life can be absolutely exhilarating. Clean Equations might just be the perfect indie pop group you can find right now for such an experience. Their debut album People/Variables has a lot to say as far as lyrical content, but not likely enough to deter your attention away from the mass of organs, splendid guitar work, and wonderfully out-of-sync sound bites just waiting for you to trip to.

We Read Minds: We Read Minds [Album Review]

we-read-minds

We Read Minds is a band that parallels many other bands you are probably already familiar with….sort of. Their slightly frenzied collection of tracks on their self titled album are dark, electric guitar driven soundscape pieces that rip apart humanity one disturbing lyric at a time. But, they’re not to be skewed by the mainstream pop reality to be a truly “heavy” band. They’re unique in the fact that they almost reach their heavier counterpoints with a pretty basic layout, yet make an immediate left turn down the road towards obscurity before becoming too complacent.

Falling Trees: Youth Club Disco EP [Album Review]

falling-trees

Oh those classy Brits! Their sensational love for pop music is absolutely understandable and with precedent. Especially when they have such an elusive underground filled with a massive amount of genius characters. Andy Botterill is definitely one of these wonderful characters. Paul Stolworthy and Andy Padfield are pretty nice as well. Together they make a swell team of individuals joining forces to creating blissful and bouncy pop music from the heart. Together they are Falling Trees. Read More »Falling Trees: Youth Club Disco EP [Album Review]

The Ascetic Junkies: This Cage Has No Bottom [Album Review]

ascetic-junkies

The Ascetic Junkies may have recorded their new and stunningly brilliant LP, This Cage Has No Bottom, in a short period of time and in the comfort of their Portland home, but some might feel as though this is an album two years in the making. Although the band’s debut album, One Shoe Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, was a brilliant display of folk/bluegrass in the new age, it was subject to being undeservingly pigeonholed as just an indie folk act. And no matter how wrong and downright stupid these thoughts would have been, they were exactly what was said on occasion. Read More »The Ascetic Junkies: This Cage Has No Bottom [Album Review]

Andy Gassaway: Hellfire [Album Review]

andy-gassaway

Andy Gassaway is one cool cat. He’s like that guy in high school who had all the racilization on why old rockabilly is the one great genre of music. You know the guy. The one who philosophized on the utter importance of “Free Bird”. This free from hipster-pretentiousness musician has poured gasoline on the wicked and weak with his album Hellfire. Andy might be better known as 1/5 of the fully eccentric group Transient Songs, but our man really breaks out on his own with this beautiful display of electric country that will leave you breathless and desperate for a caffienated honky tonk.

The Rest: John Huston [mp3]

rest

It might feel like ages since we last heard from The Rest (way back in March). But, they actually haven’t slowed down a bit. These Toronto-based soundscape masochists have been hard at work on their forthcoming album, SEESAW, due out in early 2011. And with their sophomore release only now hitting a year old, and their brilliant Cried Wolf Book/EP being one of the biggest highlights of 2010, it’s hard to imagine what kind of beautiful madness this tremendous group has to offer us in the coming months.

Jared Mees & The Grown Children: Live at Baby Bar [10.06.10]

jared-mees-spokane-01

Located in the heart of downtown Spokane sits what might possibly be the most ill coordinated bars on earth. Yes, for an act to play “Baby Bar” (the actual bar area only being a 12 ft by 12 ft room), actually means you will be squeezing you and your gear into a devastatingly small spot next to a couple of pinball machines in the burrito restaurant that makes up the majority of the building (Neato Burrito, without a doubt the best burrito in Spokane.) But, for the likes of Jared Mees & The Grown Children, it’s just another setting for these folk-oriented indie rockers to showcase their irrefutable talent as not only brilliant musicians, but as a live act that is not to be missed when they pass through your city.

Lowell: The Ten Houses and the Falling Leaves [Album Review]

lowell

Where was a group like Lowell when you really needed them? Well, they were probably exactly where they needed to be – banging around the turn of the century when music was, for the lack of better words, shit. This group had it’s heyday as local favorites in their fare city of Baltimore from 1998 till 2001. They were around when rap metal was all the rage, and there were still towers in the sky. Their post grunge influenced rock n’ roll might not have been promoted by Carson Daily during those confusing times, but even Lowell (cleverly named after the hometown of Jack Kerouac) couldn’t have realized that they were making tunes that would be considered groundbreaking at the turn of the following decade (you know, the one that Y2K was going to prevent from happening anyway).

The Gentle Guest: Cast Off Your Human Form [Album Review]

gentle-guest

It’s hard to tell what is more impressive – The Gentle Guest themselves, or that this incredibly unique form of Americana Punk could even be done, let alone perfected. On their sophomore release Cast Off Your Human Form, the Guest bring their circus themed hysteria to the folk world like a roman candle shot into it’ skin. Their incredible upbeat and lyrically oriented collection of backwoods and dark alley friendly songs are a surprisingly fresh mixing of genres you might have never expected.

Proud Simon: Anchors Aweigh [Album Review]

proud-simon

Proud Simon’s Anchors Aweigh is the beautiful blend of harmonica driven pop music you find in the happy moments of life. It’s the paradox in the middle of the raging battlefield we call our regular everyday lives. In each of our lives, there is a story to be told. Some are simply more interesting than others. But, it also depends on how you tell it. If you use quick, energetic guitar slide work and a never ending sense of positivity through beautiful lyrics, than you might find your tales more interesting. It worked for these guys!
