Something has really, really taken off for this band! It’s physical make-up is about as unique as it’s sound, and it’s sound is out there. Please be kind and check out this performance by TV on the Radio on The Late Show with David Letterman (09/12/06).

Rye Coalition fire hard rock with enough flare to put any comparisons to the likes of The Jesus Lizard far from…no, actually, Rye Coalition resemble the harder sounds encompassed by The Jesus Lizard, only if The Jesus Lizard had Vince Neil’s cousin singing against the backdrop of modern day glamless glam-rock. They’re powerful without [...]
Soulwax has taken many shapes and forms over the years, varying between an electrolush club hopping dance troop to mash-up forerunners to chic post new-wave rockers. Nite Versions proves to be somewhat of a return to the basic Soulwax sound, before the 2 Many DJs side project took over, before band members came and [...]
Netherlands-born Nicolay, formerly of The Foreign Exchange, experiments with elements of R&B, breakbeats and hip hop throughout his first solo release Here. After playing in the circuit for a variety of hop hop and R&B groups for roughly a decade Nicolay took reigns on the other side of board, as he took to honing his [...]

It’s just too smooth! Jim Noir’s Tower of Love is some freak hybrid between Simon and Garfunkel (but mostly Simon) and mid-90’s electropop within the context of 2006-based rock. Huh? The album bounces back and forth between a Nick Drake campout and a Bran Van 3000 retrospective while listening to Midlake somewhere [...]
Cold War Kids have, from what I hear, been a band that is either hated or loved. This video being my first peers into the now seemingly giant world of the band and is fantastic both musically and visually. The video’s playground atmosphere plays to its advantage as it gives the band both [...]

The basic concept of the band’s video is takes its literal conclusions and molds the entire thing around TV on the Radio’s unique sound. The production of the video is really spectacular, seemingly reproducing much of the super special effects from Stephen King’s Silver Bullet and overproducing to make the film look. Love [...]
What is an original? An original is something that really hasn’t been done before and can be looked back at as something that can’t really be accomplished at another time by anyone else. Shukar Collective is an original. By bridging the gap between an older generation of traditional gypsies and the modern generation [...]
Former Air and M83 collaborator Lisa Papineau makes great strides with her solo debut while maintaining a similar electropop sound to that which she is all too familiar with. Night Moves reflects a sound that can be concluded as one comparative of The Postal Service; a single, white, Postal Service. Though Papineau’s musical [...]

Macaca Mulatta’s Chris Chinchilla, Jim Rhesus and Arran Lovechild connect in a way that refrains from giving their music any brutal force, but rather expels modern art-punk tradition. Formed as an outlet for ex-Art Brut and Rhesus members the nasally Strummer-esque vocals and pop n’ drop rhythm section create a smooth transition between their [...]

Who were Arab Strap to you? Here’s who they were to me: They were an alright band that made me want to like them more than I actually did. All Belle and Sebastian references aside, that’s pretty much the reason that I got into Arab Strap. Why do I feel that [...]

Just what happens that when a band, so powerful and marketable, takes advantage of a sound that many are using and penetrates modern pop music with it, its many contemporaries are often forgotten? In the case of The White Stripes and The Black Keys though, it is the contemporaries that deliver absolutely striking [...]

Quite honestly the visual accompaniment to Young’s “Looking For A Leader” could have been a completely insulting look at the inadequacies of those currently in power. Bear with me: In one of many of his great spoken word moments Henry Rollins made comment of how cool it would be to actually have a President that [...]
