Death Threat Cassette – Infinite Trick Pony
I’ve been following England’s Death Threat Cassette for about a decade now. Death Threat Cassette rose from the ashes of Jack Endino produced grunge influenced band Solanoid – singer Lee Pecqueur gone solo. A one-man band, this is truly bedroom rock. And yet – the...
Friends of Our Youth – That Was Then
The most exciting new indie bands conjure up visions of acoustic guitar, singing with friends around a fire, and an authentic approach to the music and lyrics. We are living in the golden age of up-and-coming bands that need to have their music heard. In my opinion,...

Sun Kil Moon – The Possum
Mark Kozelek is the most unlikely polarizing figure of 2014. A pioneer in the slowcore movement with the incredible Red House Painters in the late 80's through early 00's, he continued exploring that sound with Sun Kil Moon and solo releases post 2001. The use of...

Soup – Album

Live – The Turn
The summer of 1995 represented my 1st taste of adult freedom. High school in the rear view mirror and higher education still in the future, it truly felt like there were endless possibilities. My best friend and I ventured out to Hershey, PA to catch what was being...

The Lost Patrol – Chasing Shadows
It's been about 18 months since we last heard from New York City's The Lost Patrol. 2013's Driven was a masterful record, indebted to 80's post-punk with a side of noir. It was one of my favorite records of 2013 and I was curious about how the band would follow it up....

Weezer – Everything Will Be Alright In The End

Black Swan Lane – A Moment of Happiness
About 15 or 16 months ago I wrote that Black Swan Lane would have a hard time topping then current effort, The Last Time In Your Light. A perfect distillation of the bands strengths, I wondered where they'd go from there. As it turns out - on to greater things. Just...
