Natalie Merchant – Natalie Merchant

The Shackeltons – Records
In the spring of 2007 I had the chance to go see El Perro Del Mar as part of an event put on by Seattle broadcasting legends, KEXP. The opening band was The Shackeltons - full of nervous post-punk energy and displaying a commanding stage presence. The band's bio...

Withered Hand – Horseshoe b/w Not Another Sunny Day
Dan Wilson - aka Withered Hand - made a splash in 2009 / 2010 with his debut album, Good News. The songs set a standard for what was being called either (depending on what you were reading) anti-folk or UK-based DIY (do it yourself). I suppose either genre description...
