Combining merely two things that I enjoy can be a task, but somehow three of my favorite things are all dropped in one simple package with this track by Run4yoLyfe; the song finding a balanced level between mood-altering synth, faux-post punk guitar and the strictest of gangsta mic skills. “Ain’t Shit Changed” is beautiful [...]
Cornerstone Promotion & Culture Bully are giving away the fantastic new album Attack & Release by The Black Keys on vinyl! Interested? One winner will receive the following:
How refreshing a thought it is to think of a Seattle band without even conjuring up the slightest thought of grunge. Breathe in the air, it is 2008 and while a haze may surround the ivory tower of Count Amazon, the time seems to have finally arrived when music can go back to resembling some [...]
Out of a disastrous feeling described as either having seen god or having had a bad bout with mono came Flowers Forever. Awaking one morning on the verge of a nervous breakdown lead singer and guitarist Derek Pressnall came to earth shattering resolve that there was something he needed to inject into his life; [...]
Reminiscent to a distortionless My Bloody Valentine, Austin’s AM Syndicate delivers a chorus of pop-conscious rock songs while lead singer Omar Chavez’s drifting vocals continually distance the band’s sound, finding a patch of sound unto itself. No more evident is this than on the band’s “To the Peasants of the Emperor,” one of the [...]
Nestled warmly in the pocket of his new release, When The Needle Hits The Wax, Stook’s “Seasonal Affective Disorder” quietly surprises as the finest piece of autobiographical poetry on the album. The precursor to the booming drunken jamboree “How Long We Gonna Dance?” and following his best Springsteen song on the album, “Diggin’ on [...]
Sounding of a strange cross between Minnesota native and Urge Overkill frontman Nathan Katruud and Randy Newman, Dan Israel’s “Song For Africa” combines eerily RL Burnside-like slide guitar with equally haunting lyrics. Taling some of the disturbing realities that exist half way around the world Israel attempts to document the turmoil in Africa while [...]
Sounding as a cross of the lines between a younger Steve Earle and a drifting Bobby Bare Jr. is former Verbena singer/guitarist Scott Bondy (aka A.A. Bondy). Adjusting to self-confinement in the Catskill Mountains Bondy determined his musical career to be finished after his group disbanded in 2003. Slowly warming up to the [...]
For quite some time Nicole Willis And The Soul Investigators have been looping in and out of the iPod but the words just weren’t quite there to describe the sensible soul that flowed from the speakers. Idolator recently called the group’s Keep Reachin’ Up “a sure-fire year-end-list contender…except for the fact that Reachin’ was [...]
Not to detract from the efforts of Nobel Prize winner Luis Federico Leloir, heralded footballer Diego Armando Maradona or even the tango, but Martin, Agustin and Emilio Jorge are quite possibly the best thing to ever come from the beloved country of Argentina. In an interview I did with Los Gauchos earlier this year [...]
Although only twenty years old, Maria Isa does not lack experience as she has been on stage and around music since the age of five. She grew up on St. Paul’s westside as a young Puerto Rican and by the time she had turned eleven she began writing poems and music. As a young girl [...]
Eyedea and Abilities hit the battle scene in 1997, a couple of high school friends from Minneapolis. A decade later they have been to the top, their most notable victories coming in 1999 and 2000 at Scribble Jam and Blaze-Battle Chicago.
Jesca Hoop’s voice sounds something reminiscent to that of a sweeter Neko Case on her track “Intelligentactile 101,” with one distinct tone exposing itself throughout the entire song. Growing up as one of five children in a traditional Mormon household Hoop’s tastes and interests were defined by the options given to her by her [...]
Montreal-based producer/MC Josh Dolgin (aka Socalled) approached his sophomore album, Ghettoblaster, as a sly satirical look at the world around him. Wielding his emotions without caution - the opening line to his “(These Are The) Good Old Days” blasts, “My God’s gonna kick your god’s ass.” He continues the track, likening modern Western [...]
The current makeup of Leroy Smokes would be hard to recognize if you had seen the group in its beginning. After a decade making music there are few original members remaining as a result of musical differences and label problems. With the release of 2006’s Love, Hustle, Heater on Smokesignyl Productions however the group [...]
Recently wrapping up production on the group’s debut album with the help of Gred Fidelman (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Greg Gordon (Oasis) The Wildbirds seem to already have already a jump on things; one might say they’ve already become the most successful band ever to come from Appleton, Wisconsin.
After taking some time extensively purging my hard drive of one time jukebox necessities I came across The Headstones‘ catalog, one of my all time favorite bands. Having not lived in Canada for the better part of a decade now it had been a while since I had the opportunity to catch up on the [...]
Formed in 1997, the Unknown Prophets began as two MCs Big Jess and Mad Son, friends who went to school together in Northeast Minneapolis. A year later the duo added Willy Lose, one of the Cities’ best DJs, to the mix and in doing so completed the group’s lineup. With four albums, an EP, and [...]
Having recently produced the track “Black Out on White Night” for Sage Francis‘ heavily acclaimed new album Human The Death Dance, Minneapolis talent Big Cats! proves that you don’t need the fashionable nonsense in order to create some strict beats. That track in particular underscores Francis’ unique flow while singer Jolie Holland does her [...]
