Delta Spirit release the first new music from their upcoming self-titled third album.

After the breakup of Port O’Brien, front man Van Pierszalowski found inspiration for this solo project WATERS. With their debut “Out In The Light”, the band maintains a wavering fragility within a rough-and-tumble pileup of instrumentation and turns it up to 11.

TweetShare After an incredibly long summer here in Madrid, which lasted until mid-October pretty much, the cold weather is starting to kick in. One band that really helps my least favorite transition of the year along is southern California trio The Miracals, or, as their Bandcamp says, The Band Formerly Known As The Smiles (their name [...]

TweetShare If someone told me that southern California band News Of The Fire is made up of teenagers and had only been together for five months before recording their first proper work, the “Motions And Hints” EP released in January of this year, I’d have to ask if they took me for a fool. There [...]

TweetShare Eagle Rock, California’s Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan have a fifties chemistry that is often attempted but so rarely accomplished, making them sound simple but at the same time complete. “Girls, Gather ‘Round” is a true let’s-all-sing-together song with its “one last night before the road steals me away” sentiment.  It is nearly impossible [...]

TweetShare At first I thought it’s an obscure cover for “Always On My Mind”, but it quickly absorbed into my head and now I can’t get it out from there. Former Simian and Black Ghosts member Simon Lords from London, UK hooked up with Rafter Roberts from San Diego, California and together with a little [...]

TweetShare  If The Cure did electro-pop, they might end up sounding something like Letting Up Despite Great Faults. Maybe Robert Smith could get a haircut while he was at it, although I guess that would just be a nicety. Also, I heard that that’s where he gets his power. He’s like a really miserable, weedy [...]

TweetShare We’ve known Zach Schwartz (alias Zach Rogue) from Rogue Wave for a while now, ever since his failure in a grueling dot-com business venture landed him in the studio, cranking out the cloudy pop tunes that would become Rogue Wave’s first album, “Out Of The Shadow.”  Seven years later and after much praise and [...]

TweetShare Good music is like buses: you go through a slow patch and then a whole bunch comes along all at once. Of course, unlike buses, you don’t have to pick and choose which bits to take, so who’s complaining? Recently-featured D33J turned me on to his old school-mate Hank May, who performs as Rock Dove. [...]

TweetShare You know those moments when you’ve been having a really bad day and nothing you seem to do makes it any better? Well I was having one of those moments tonight. Work was a total nightmare, the rain was pouring (again!), my bank card got stuck in the atm and when I got home [...]

TweetShare One of those magical times of your life is when you are no longer a teenager. The moment you open your eyes on the morning of your 20th birthday and realise that from this day forward you are officially classified as an “adult”. What did you do when that alarm clock went off? Did [...]

TweetShare Somewhere between the quirky pop sensibility of Mull Historical Society and the actual insanity of The Fiery Furnaces‘ “Blueberry Boat” lies the work of Thorir Bogason, otherwise known as Just Another Snake Cult. I wasn’t aware that there were particularly many snake cults still around these days, but I’m delighted that there’s another one. [...]
