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 /...

Ryan Adams – Wonderwall
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. Following the...
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...

Paris Angels – Shake
From Stereokill Recordings comes the 3rd track to be released from the "lost" Paris Angels album, Eclipse. The Paris Angels, of course, reunited after the untimely passing of beloved drummer, Simon Worrall ("Big Si" to his friends & family). The Distant...
Natalie Merchant – Natalie Merchant
Natalie Merchant straddles multiple genres, never comfortably fitting in any scene. With the 10,000 Maniacs she veered from post-punk / folk to jangle pop. With her solo works she found even wider acceptance with her radio ready, alternative pop sound. Personally,...

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...
OFF! – Learn To Obey b/w I See Through You
OFF! is a rarity in the punk rock / hardcore world - a late career entity that is equal to, if not better than, all the acts the members have been involved with over the last 35 years. Keith Morris led Black Flag and Circle Jerks, Dimitri Coats fronted Burning Brides,...
Catching Up With Birdeatsbaby
I recently had the chance to catch up with Mishkin Fitzgerald, vocalist & pianist for Brighton, UK's Birdeatsbaby. The band recently concluded a successful Kickstarter campaign that will help fund their forthcoming record, due later this year. 2012's Feast of...

Johnny Cash – Out Among The Stars
Posthumous releases by acclaimed musicians are as reliable as me having a cup of coffee in the morning. Typically there is a rush released album shortly after the artist bids farewell to this mortal coil, perhaps it even retains the quality the artist was known for....
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...
