The world of indie rock is rife with music that’s more thoughtful and more musically adventurous than what you’d find on one of the large record labels. For a couple of years we’ve been intrigued by Jay Som, primarily because the music she makes has this endearing tone that never really feels impersonal. On her...More Please

Modern Nature Gets Elemental on Debut Album

New Music Reviews

Indie Rock Modern Nature

by David Garrick

A lot of music gets based on a theory or a principle, whether or not the artist wants to admit it. We hear so much music as a society that when someone thoughtfully places that theory to practice, it can easily go unnoticed. Through our friends in the public relations world, we were introduced to...More Please

Guided By Voices Announce Yet Another Album & Release New Song

Guided By Voices Indie Rock

by David Garrick

For most bands, announcing that you plan to release a third full length album in under one year, would seem odd to say the least. For a project fronted by Robert Pollard it’s just par for the course. After a double record it seems that Guided By Voices either really has a ton of songs...More Please

We caught them recently for their tour with Third...More Please

Don't Worry Emo Indie Rock

by David Garrick

We stumble on to bands sometimes with the help of our friends. One friend suggested we check out a UK band called Don’t Worry, and boy are we glad it was suggested. We weren’t a magazine when they dropped their last album Who Cares Anyway? but it’s easily become one of our favorites currently out...More Please
