John Mellencamp – Strictly A One-Eyed Jack
The genesis of John Mellencamp’s career is one of the more unique stories in rock n roll history. Forced to change his name to John Cougar in the 70’s before eventually moving back to his given name (with a middle phase as John Cougar Mellencamp), he’s long since...
Oh Man Wow – s/t
Some of my favorite bands are the ones that avoid easy characterization. Indie band Oh Man Wow have just released their debut album, and this fits that description perfectly. The band is made up of Bryan Ray on vocals / guitar, Joy Maydak on bass / guitars /...

Dan Florio – Malleability
The darkness set in around 7:45 last night - the Fall is relentless in its approach this time of year. Rather than lament the summer now gone, it is time to start thinking about bonfires, pumpkin beer, and flannels (I'm in the Seattle area, after all). The perfect...
The Cure – The Last Day of Summer
Attack of the Killer Track! is a series that explores tracks from artists from a variety of genres. Some of the tracks were singles, some of them were obscure b-sides or long forgotten album tracks. One thing is certain – all of them are killer tracks. As August...

Morrissey – World Peace Is None Of Your Business
Is the musical icon a dying breed? Legacy artists populated the public consciousness seemingly since the beginning of popular music, but lately it seems this will soon become a memory. Can we really rely on Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, or Miley Cyrus to carry the torch...

Sunstack Jones – Roam
About a year ago, I had the privilege of interacting with Sunstack Jones - an indie band that hail from Northern England (Liverpool and Blackburn). Their 2013 single You Can Help Me Out was one of my anthems for the summer of '13, its Britpop-ish vibe perfectly...

Ryan Adams – Gimme Something Good b/w Aching For More
If anything, you can't fault Ryan Adams for lacking pure enthusiasm when it comes to his recording career. He has attacked disparate genres with gusto, though his later records have mostly settled into a pop rock alt county feel (not counting his metal side project,...

First Aid Kit – Stay Gold
Nostalgia has become a funny thing in this age of "the social network". We have Throwback Thursdays, Flashback Fridays, and other movements accompanied by their #hashtags seem to be popping up weekly. What does it all mean? For every person in their mid to late 30's...
Into the Sun With The March Violets
Every so often someone will tell me about a band that I somehow either missed the 1st time around or hadn't taken the time to delve into their catalogue. I have a few weaknesses, one of them being bass heavy post punk from the late 70's into the 80's (and let's be...

Neil Young – A Letter Home
Like clockwork, about 18 months after the last Neil Young album arrives the new one, A Letter Home. Early rumors had pegged this one as a duets record with Jack White, but those proved to be unfounded. Jack White IS involved - he duets with Neil Young on two tracks...
