Hey guys, Becca here, kicking off the “Song Of The Day” portion of the website! My pick for today’s song is The Maine’s song “Inside Of You” off their most recent album Black & White that dropped on July 13.
“Inside Of You” is the first single off the album and for good reason. This song was the first stepping stone in showing music critics and fans alike that Black & White was going to be a side of The Maine never seen b…
This past summer has been a great experience and we’ve been happy to add 3 new members to our staff. Thank you so much Mitch, Jack and Matthew for all of your help. We are excited for our second year and glad to have you on board with the team! This past summer we’ve been lucky to have worked with some fantastic artists and we look forward to posting their stories. We sat down with Lotus, Ha Ha Tonka, Langhorn…
Danger Mouse may have broken into the music game by using his production talent for the good of hip hop, but recent history tells listeners his skills are better used in the rock genre. His latest in a long line of collaboration albums, of which has spanned from The Black Keys to Cee Lo Green to Beck, is a tag team with veteran rock group Sparklehorse. While the album, titled Dark Night of the Soul, is billed as a collabora…
As The Disco Biscuits step on stage for their fifth and final set of the weekend, bassist Marc Brownstein jokingly states, “It wouldn’t be Camp Bisco if it wasn’t Camp Bisco. You know what I mean? I know at least some of you know what I mean.”
On the surface it seems like he is just a little spun, but for regular attendees of the upstate New York festival Brownie is speaking truth. Simply put, it just wouldn’t Camp Bisco witho…
If there is one thing everyone can agree upon about The Heartless Bastards show at Chicago’s Bottom Lounge, it is that it was a thoroughly sultry experience. Even with the AC on and the fans at full RPM the ambiance was decidedly sweaty. It was a July evening that called for cold beer, an occasional cup of ice, and some rock n’ roll.
The last two times the Heartless Bastards played Chicago was when they opened for Wolf Mothe…
Currently the house band on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots started with only Tariq “Black Thought” Trotter and Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson back in 1987. After adding three other members and changing their name from The Square Roots they released their first album in 1993; seventeen years later, the band known for their funky, sophisticated brand of hip-hop has come out with their ninth album, “How I G…
Comprised of only two members – Tom Rowland and Ed Simmons – with six albums already under their belt, The Chemical Brothers have a pretty sturdy reputation for making quality, big beat electronic tracks. It’s safe to assume that their more recent music is held to a standard that the band set for themselves when they started consistently producing chart topping records. The pressure to improve exponen…
Veteran grunge rockers Stone Temple Pilots are back. On May 21st, STP released their self-titled 6th album and their first since 2001. The band has been rocking since 1992 and, upon first listen; you will see they have in no way compromised their sound in order to keep rocking until now.
After achieving commercial success with a solo album and two albums with rock supergroup Velvet Revolver, Scott Weiland comes bac…
Sleigh Bells a ringin’? More like screaming loud and clear. This hot new noise pop duo is surely attracting quite a lot of attention recently, especially after their album debut “Treats” was released June 1, 2010. There are eight songs on the album, each one being just as enchanting as the next.
Alexis Krauss’s petite, high- pitched voice matched with Derek Miller’s (ex member of Poison the Well) catchy and straight f…
Twenty years since releasing their last album and following the anticipated completion of a fan-involved album production process, the new-wave band Devo has come out with “Something for Everybody”. Having emerged from the shadows of their wildly popular tune “Whip It,” the now nearly sixty-year-old performers (in addition to the considerably younger drummer, Josh Freese of Nine Inch Nails and G…
The art of electric, dirty, folk blues is on the way in. Over the last 2+ years Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys have perfected the sound and been one of the lone carriers of the torch. Enter The Main Street Gospel from Columbus, Ohio. With their debut album hitting shelves June 29th, expect them to hit the ground running and take off with great momentum.
Love Will Have Her Revenge is a nice combination o…
