It’s hard to believe that New Jersey’s Saves The Day have been around over twenty years, especially when you consider the full throttled energy of their current live shows. We recently caught them in person, and we were shocked to see how much they brought it to their set. Playing old songs and new, the...More Please

New Music

Astragal Post-Punk

by David Garrick

It seems the fine gentlemen of Houston’s Astragal are taking a deeper turn towards post-punk. As we mentioned when we debuted their single “Bloomer” last year, the trio has been tinkering with the genre in their songs for the past year, and their latest single “Moderne Luxury” proves they’ve taken the plunge. Complete with...More Please

Anemone Crafts Joyful Pop on Beat My Distance

Every now and again, you can hear music that stirs pretty much every emotion inside of you when you hear it. It doesn’t happen often, but that’s what we took away from Beat My Distance, the new full length from Canada’s Anemone. Full of lush and joyful pop, carefully crafted burners and indie rock that...More Please

The Latest Tracks From Hand Habits Are Everything

Meg Duffy has a voice that cannot be ignored, and with her band Hand Habits, that voice comes through loud and clear. With the debut album from Hand Habits Wildly Idle, it was apparent that Hand Habits was more than a side project, but a fully fleshed out band. Now with the upcoming release of...More Please

There’s a good chance that you’ve never heard of the pop by Oslo’s Anna of the North, though you should know that she’s an artist on the rise. For about five years she’s been dropping music that sticks with you after you first hear it, and her new single “Leaning On Myself” is no exception...More Please

Shy Boys Add to Their Sound With New Tracks

Kansas City is a place where most people are nice, though you might not find a band as nice as the fine gents of the band Shy Boys. We caught them on tour last year and were pretty impressed with their live show, and last year’s release Bell House was as equally impressive. Not ones...More Please

Dale Watson Adds a Little Luck on New Album

In the vast world of country music, there’s a mixture of varying acts that get called country alongside those who are as country as it gets. It may sound silly, but the latter are where the true magic lies, and the music of Dale Watson has always held plenty of sorcery. With his latest release...More Please

Robert Ellis Reclaims His Music on Texas Piano Man

New Music Reviews

Piano Rock Robert Ellis

by David Garrick

Five years ago, Robert Ellis set out to make a stylistically ambiguous album, one that ushered in his songwriting abilities as he began to shed his country music beginnings. That album was The Lights From the Chemical Plant, and in many ways that’s where the reclamation began. His follow up Robert Ellis took him further...More Please

Le Chien Freud Offer First Glimpse Into Upcoming Album

There’s a real great chance that you haven’t heard of Houston’s Le Chien Freud. Named after Freud’s son, the band has a pretty quirky take on everything except for the actual music that they create. Evoking sounds of bands like Jesus Lizard meets Nation of Ulysses, they have no problem making fun of themselves while...More Please

Canada’s Anemone Opens Up About Inspiration & Audience Participation Ahead of Album Release

For the past couple of years, the music coming out of Canada has been better than anything penned by Celine Dion or Alanis Morissette. Acts like Daniel Romano and Michael Rault are just a couple of examples of artists who’ve released wonderful music coming from the great white north. When you look at infectious pop...More Please

Does anyone care? Am I alone? Did you eat my sandwich? Did you see us on tour? These are the many questions that get asked and hopefully answered with Our Band Could Be Your Life or Debt from Houston’s Get A Life. The disaffected vocals, the droning guitars, the pop infused hooks-all of these things...More Please

We’ve been fans of Lucy Dacus for a while, just like we’ve been fans of intimate shows for as long as many of us have covered music. For the sold out set we saw from Dacus, the crowd was on their best behavior and Dacus shined through from beginning to end. After a song that...More Please

Holy Golden Shares Intriguing New Video for Seven of Diamonds

The music of Holy Golden is a mixture of psych pop and dreamy new wave. Last year when they released their latest masterpiece Sleepwalkers in the Milky Way, we were pretty amazed at how it reminded us of acts like Kate Bush and Eurythmics, without sounding lifted or copied. Now with their new video for...More Please

For a while now, we’d been hearing of England’s Cavetown, the twenty year old folk pop sensation who sold out the bulk of his tour. Cavetown, also known as Robin Skinner has made waves in releasing a steady stream of music since 2015, and we were pleased to go catch him perform. Skinner mixed the...More Please

Martin Frawley is a name to some and an unknown to others. As co-leader of the Australian jangle pop band Twerps, Frawley is worth noting in his own right. The latest two singles off of his upcoming album Undone At 31 due later this month, definitely have our ears perked, and make us ready for...More Please

The Light Emits From Bob Mould on Sunshine Rock

For a long time now, Bob Mould has been bringing his big guitar sound to pretty much every record he makes. Even when the records called for an acoustic, those wood grained notes were big and bright. So when we heard his new album would be called Sunshine Rock, we figured that big guitar would...More Please

Colourmusic Go Beyond the Typical Psych Band

The expansive world of psych music has too many bands getting drawn into being called psych when they’re clearly something else. For Oklahoma’s Colourmusic, the band is definitely a psych band, though their approach to the genre is more cinematic and far beyond the typical. On their latest release Swimsuit, they take that approach to...More Please

Xiu Xiu Crafts a Dark World Rife With Heft and Brilliance On New Album

No matter who’s asking, the best experimental music is made by those who hope to create a world that you’re not comfortable with experiencing. In many ways, that’s been what Xiu Xiu has been about since their inception. On their eleventh full length release Girl with Basket of Fruit, they take all that you think...More Please

Bad Sounds Are Like No One Else

For a while now across the pond, they’ve crafted music that was a mixture of so much wile sounding like no one else at the same time. Twenty years ago, you would’ve heard of a band like Black Grape and not gotten it because it was far ahead of its time. Today that band could...More Please

Tiny Ruins Go For Gold on Olympic Girls

Depending where you live and what music you like, you may have never heard of New Zealand’s Tiny Ruins. Primarily lead by singer songwriter Hollie Fullbrook, the now four piece makes intriguing music that sounds like incidental music for the soul.
