Fergus & Geronimo: Where The Walls Are Made Of Grass [Video]

fergus-and-geronimo

In the first few moments of Fergus & Geronimo‘s “Where The Walls Are Made Of Grass”, we’re treated to a jazzy percussion and a cool, laid back upright bass line. This is the basis for the music Fergus & Geronimo create, blending genres in a most unique way. Rounding out the sound are odd vocal harmonies, folk-pop guitar hooks, and traces of an alto saxophone. Combined, they make up one of the most refreshing sounds we’ve heard in quite a while. Read More »Fergus & Geronimo: Where The Walls Are Made Of Grass [Video]

Simon Goalpost: Embankment Verse [Album Review]

simon-goalpost

From the late 80’s until the mid 90’s, the UK was at its pinnacle in the indie-pop punk community. Well, it might not be all historians telling it as such, but just ask those who were knee deep in the midst of the madness and they will surely say it was most definitely so. And a little group known as Thrilled Skinny might have always been name dropped at this time. Therefore, our hero Simon Goalpoast was undoubtedly the frontman behind one of the nation’s coolest acts. And now, for the first time, we have been blessed with a sultry yet sweet collection of beautiful indie pop tracks on Embankment Verse. Read More »Simon Goalpost: Embankment Verse [Album Review]

The Modern Skirts: Grammahawk [Album Review]

modern skirts

In the past, The Modern Skirts have proved themselves to be one of the finest piano-laced indie pop groups in the western hemisphere. But, to be so damn good really seems to come with a price. The dreaded pigeon-holing effect becomes a factor. And any real artist, or avid listener, knows that this could very well mean the death of wonderful musical acts. The Skirts blasted out of nowhere in 2005 with an album that everyone couldn’t stop loving. In 2008, they stepped their game up once again with one of the finest indie pop albums of last decade. They even managed to get one of their most popular tracks on the video game Rockband 2. So, is all this well earned respect a bad thing? One entire sitting with their latest album, Grammahawk, might very well proved the answer really is – Yes. And No! Read More »The Modern Skirts: Grammahawk [Album Review]

Slowwave: Pour [mp3]

slowwave

Slowwave astounds with mesmerizing hazy vocals, hypnotic echoing melodies, and the clash of indie pop and electronic pop. The band is the freshest thing to come from Tacoma, WA in a while and it’s about time. Nestled between the musical meccas of Seattle and Olympia, Tacoma should be a hotspot for unfettered undiscovered talent; Slowwave shows that it can, will be, and (at least in their case) is. “Pour” blends just enough of that northwest sound to be recognizable, while maintaining a sizable amount of locational and genre-specific ambiguity to be highly intriguing.

Typhoon [Feature]

Typhoon is an eleven piece ensemble band from Portland, OR. With their album Hunger and Thirst (produced with Portland’s incredible label Tender Loving Empire), they’ve garnered quite a bit of positive attention, none of it undeserved. Named for a Nietzsche thought, Typhoon create songs highly emotive and visceral in both structure and theme. Their music is an intelligently crafted exploration of what we feel and why we feel it. From beginning to end the album satisfies. Read More »Typhoon [Feature]

The Booze: Kick Me Where It Hurts [mp3]

the-booze

With a continual playlist featuring the likes of Rolling Stones, The Kinks, and Faces, The Booze has captured that era of mod-rock to near perfection in their song “Kick Me Where it Hurts”. With blisteringly brilliant guitar riffs and a nonchalantly cool set of vocals, this band has embodied an era where rock, in the opinion of many, was at its pinnacle. The song has the grit of the garage, the twang of the south, and a bounce to it that’s downright gripping. “Kick Me Where It Hurts” is solid through and through; this is a song that represents all that was good about rock’s heyday — when the most popular bands around actually made good music.
