Discovering "Melk": Melkbelly - "Bathroom at the Beach" | Feature Article

November 5, 2015

At its core, Melkbelly fuses pop rock with noise in order to create a sound that the group jokingly describes as “melk.” Though their use of the word “melk” was humorous, it was consistently invoked as a referent to the band’s musical essence.

Girl Band - "Holding Hands With Jamie" | Album Review

Holding Hands with Jamie doesn’t exactly stray from the formula they established on The Early Years, but it finds all sorts of ways to undercut the listener’s expectations while continuing their exploration with noise.

Fern Mayo - "Happy Forever" | Album Review

The 7 track EP is a blissful power pop romp that stuns as much musically as it does lyrically. The power of Capri’s songwriting is clear on every track, but it never overshadows how damn rock and roll Fern Mayo is.

Florist - "Holdly" | Feature Article

November 3, 2015

by: dan goldin

Florist’s music is light - the guitar is breezy and meandering, the drumming is slow and cool, the vocals are delicate. Despite this light tone, Sprague confronts heavy topics such as the anxieties and insecurity in love and mortality with calm and sweetness.

Rick Rude + Kiss Concert - "Split" | Album Review

Both Rick Rude and Kiss Concert play a wild sloppy punk rock; part Screeching Weasel, part Alice Cooper, with each group featuring a variety of unique idiosyncrasies that branch off into separate identities from there. Songs barrel through a survey of indie and classic rock and roll

October 30, 2015

by: dan goldin

Milan MacAlevey has been kicking his own ass for years. He works tirelessly writing songs and getting the sound of Coke Weed physically manifested on this our plane of reality. He is a student of sound and execution, and it is so apparent in the band’s flawless delivery.

Blue Smiley - Ok | Album Review

October 29, 2015

by: dan goldin

At their core, Blue Smiley is your standard indie-rock power trio. Primary songwriter and guitarist Bryan Nowell is joined by the solid-as-a-rock rhythm section of Matt McGraw and John Slavin. While their guitar, bass, and drums setup might be painfully standard, the songwriting is not.

Here's our personal guide to the best Fest 14 has to offer... for those folks that tend to shy away from the pop-punk side of things (and hell, we're even throwing in a bit of that... it is The Fest after all).

Christian Fitness - Love Letters in the Age of Steam | Album Review

Within 10 seconds of “Upset Army,” the opening track from Love Letters in the Age of Steam, you know you are well in the domain of Andrew Falkous (Falco). The loud, screeching wail of the guitars, the chord changes that make one uneasy though they can’t say why, and the distorted snarling snark sneered into the microphone are all sign posts that you’re in the hands of the Future of the Left frontman.

Meat Wave - Delusion Moon | Album Review

Delusion Moon is a longer, more challenging album. It expands on Meat Wave’s initial palate of incessant, tight rhythms paired with original melodies while simultaneously surprising the listener with imaginative and unsettling song structures.

Alex G makes music that grows on you and melodies that worm their way into your head and your life. The prolific songwriter, who up until recently put out his many records on Bandcamp, recording them himself on garageband, signed with Domino Records and is now a household-name in the indie world.

Wildhoney - Your Face Sideways | Album Review

Wildhoney are one of these bands. They've got all the makings of a classic shoegaze indebted act: dreamy female vocals, and warbly guitar lines that sometimes are soft and pillowy, and at others seem to scrape at your ears with a sound that is as violent as it is beautiful.

Operator - Puzzlephonics I | Album Review

Brooklyn four-piece Operator have crafted an overwhelmingly phenomenal smorgasborg of sound and style, spanning several galaxies in under eighteen minutes flat. I think of The Slits. I think of Broadcast. But let’s take it a step further.
