Vinyl Station the Phoenix Arizona band is back again with an introspective and delicate song dripping with soaring melodies, and...
Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" has topped the charts for the first time, de-throning Yuletide-queen Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" from its yearly spot atop Billboard's Hot 100.
A gift to Beatles fans music lovers of all stripes, "Now and Then" is a fitting final offering from one of the most seminal bands of all time.
With a synth bass-heavy, disco-injected groove, "Houdini" evokes a a crisply contemporary take on the drum machine-driven dance floor standards of yore.
"Josh Tillman and the Accidental Dose" is at it's core a classic-sounding chunk of tuneful, piano-and-guitar-driven melodicism, underscored by a colorful and ever-present orchestral accompaniment. The phrase "Beatlesque" immediately spills out to describe this particular union of elements, though "Accidental Dose" owes much, if not more, to later additions in that particular musical idiom the Fab Four helped to define. Tillman's soulful vocal is more Joe Cocker than McCartney, and song's almost playful arrangement recalls something that could be found on Nilsson Schmilsson as much as it does, say, "I Am The Walrus."
Canadian DIY darlings Men I Trust made a name for themselves in the indie scene with their unique blend of dreamy, groove-laden pop. Oftentimes in the band's press it seems that former characteristic of their music eclipses the latter in recognition, but "Tailwhip" is proof positive that their sense for for crafting an infectious rhythm is just as keen as their knack for generating the spacious atmospheres those rhythms occupy.
The wait is finally over! John Eye‘s music video for ‘Ride‘ off of his ‘cannonicus 3.14‘ album is finally available...
"Claw Foot" ... is a tightly constructed and eminently catchy exemplar of Royel Otis' sterling approach to alt-pop/rock. The song's bass-heavy rhythmic figure and chimey guitars are immediately evocative of genre paragons like Joy Division and The Cure, while it's breakneck pace and chanted chorus keep things sounding fresh and the energy high.
"Vaulted," featured on Lovina Fall's recently minted LP "Calculating the Angle of Our Descent," is a delightful amalgamation of old-school songcraft served up with a modern character.
Teaming up with Stroker Deluca Billy Botox delivers another great video for his new single Lucky Day. Known from TV...
I really don’t know what to say about Jonny McGovern in Soccer Practice, it’s kinky, it’s dirty, and it’s funny...
Though frontman Robert Smith might protest easy categorization, The Cure are without a doubt one of the seminal gothic rock bands of all time. Pop-twinged and radio friendly hits like "Friday I'm in Love" or "Just Like Heaven" exist alongside the kind of haunting, angst-filled odes like "One Hundred Years" or "Lullaby" that helped define the goth rock phenomenon. "Alone," the legendary band's first new release in well over a decade and the lead single from their upcoming album Songs of a Lost World, sees the band return to that latter sort of peak brooding form after a considerable hiatus.
