Two New Starflyer 59 Singles Hit With Refined Direction

Indie Rock Starflyer 59

by David Garrick

It’s hard to believe that the debut album from California’s Starflyer 59 came out twenty five years ago. While we could wax poetic about how that album helped shape who we were as youths, it’s their two new singles off their upcoming album that we’re currently loving. With Young In My Head due out next...More Please

With Debut Album, Trembler Makes Their Name Known

New Music Reviews

Indie Rock Trembler

by David Garrick

Few bands have sheer power anymore, or at least it seems that way sometimes. Power in their words, power in the chords they play and power enough to either clear a room or scare the hell out of everyone they’re in front of. That’s kind of the best way to describe Houston’s Trembler. Their powerful...More Please

Indie Rock Palehound

by David Garrick

It may have only been a little over five years since Palehound formed, but in that time the band has done more than some bands who’ve been going for twice as long. With an album coming in early June, the first two singles from Black Friday should excite fans of the plainspoken group as well...More Please

Alex Lahey Indie Rock

New Music Reviews

American Football Emo Indie Rock

by David Garrick

When nineties emo core happened, it happened pretty quickly and was over almost as soon as it began. Over the years, we’ve been lucky to see many of the bands that made up the genre return to releasing new music and touring regularly.

Embracing New Techniques, The National Are Back in a Big Way

Indie Rock The National

by David Garrick

The National have always done things their own way while never really sticking to any one format.

It’s an exercise that works when you make the kind of quality music that these guys...More Please

Stef Chura Drops New Track Ahead of New Album

K. Campbell Returns Sunny on New Single

Indie Rock K. Campbell

by David Garrick

Houston’s K. Campbell makes the kind of music that we’re always happy to experience. His debut full length Pure Pop For Jaded Punks reminded us of what might happen if Elliott Smith fronted a Ramones cover band. On his new single “Heads Up” he offers a more sunny side to his guitar driven sound. The...More Please

You Need to Hear Jess Cornelius

Indie Rock Jess Cornelius

by David Garrick

The breadth of music that may not get heard is definitely larger than you may realize. When we think of all the great art that might not get heard, it’s exhausting and depressing.

New Music Reviews

Indie Rock Kevin Devine

For a good while now, Kevin Devine has been dropping split releases with many notable artists. His last one was with British sensation Cavetown, and we weren’t sure he could top that one.

New Music Reviews

Indie Rock Spielbergs

by David Garrick

If you lived through the nineties, you had to endure lots of terrible trends in music. If you were lucky though, you followed indie rock and emo close enough to not have to sit through the waves of grunge bands that littered the airwaves in the wake of Nirvana. There haven’t been a ton of...More Please
