Listen Before You Buy

TweetShare Band Of Horses guitarist Tyler Ramsey releases what could very well be his best song yet with “The Nightbird”. The Lyrics are haunting with the heaviness of life and coming to grips with those things that weigh us down coupled with the determination of releasing them. Sure as a metaphor anyone could listen to [...]

TweetShare That song title might sound familiar to you and if you’ve been reading this site for the last couple of months or so then you’ve probably even seen it on here. That’s because it’s a cover of the always excellent L.A. band The Delta Mirror. I posted about The Shimmies back at the start [...]

TweetShare It’s pretty sweet when a band you really like starts recommending new music to you.  That’s what Craig from The Delta Mirror did with The Shimmies. Not only did he recommend them but he even sent me a couple of their songs too.  The four-piece are from a land far far away in Dagobah [...]

TweetShare Newly signed to Domino Records, Chief are a 4-piece from Santa Monica who play melodic, atmospheric guitar pop. The piano chords twinkling in the swirling, textured arrangements of their single “Night & Day” add an extra degree of magic to the song. The vocals are rich, layered and recall Band of Horses, as well [...]

TweetShare Yup, exactly as the title says. A lot of people are pretty disappointed in their latest album “Infinite Arms” and I can see why, but I’m still undecided.  It’s not bad, it’s certainly not great, and it’s nothing compared to either of  its predecessors, but it’s still a decent album.  Anyway, have a listen to [...]

TweetShare It’s less than a week now until Infinite Arms is released, Band Of Horses’ followup to 2007′s “Cease To Begin”.

TweetShare If you’re unaware of what Music Monday is, it’s a Twitter recommendation system where users of Twitter share their favourite music, artists, genres, etc in order to not only find new music themselves but help others find new music too.  Using the hashtag (#) followed by “MusicMonday” you can easily find new music posted [...]

TweetShare Band Of Horses are edging ever closer to huge mainstream success, which could be a good thing or a bad thing.  Take a look at Kings Of Leon (whilst not loved by many), I’ve adored them since their first album back in 2003 and now that they’ve got mainstream success with their fourth album, [...]

TweetShare [UPDATE: As of mid-late May they've changed their name to Johnny Johnny Johnny.] As SXSW drew to a close yesterday we’re left with a hell of a lot of great new music and a lot of buzz about new bands to keep an eye out for this year.  A lot of that buzz coming [...]

TweetShare Above is the artwork (click for a biggie smalls version) for the upcoming album for one of Seattle’s finest bands, Band Of Horses. As announced on March 2nd, the follow-up to 2007s “Cease To Begin” will be called “Infinite Arms” with a release date scheduled for May 18th that will precede a tiny wee baby tour [...]

TweetShareThere are bands that have a name which fits their sound before you even hear their music; The Strokes, Animal Collective, De La Soul, The Hives, Kriss Kross. There are bands whose name invokes a particular sound in your head before you hear their music, but upon actually listening to them they sound nothing like [...]
