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,...

Chris Bell – I Am the Cosmos
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. The Big Star...
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...
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

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...
