When it comes to Sonic Youth, it’s not easy to write a review the same that it might be for a band that is new and breaking onto the scene. After all, the New York band has been a rock stalwarth for over 20 years now, releasing some incredible albums during that span. [...]

There is something about a band with a rich backstory that just makes the transition from holding the album in your hand to having it on repeat a bit quicker. While I could care less about most PR releases telling me about the next great band for fans of Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Wilco, [...]

Iran is the type of band that has always been a bit of a mystery. The band put out two albums Iran & The Moon Boys which both were very cool at times, but mostly experimental and hard to fully grasp for me. The band consists of Kyp Malone (TV On The Radio), [...]

I miss going out to shows, the life of a family man can make that difficult at times. Add to it the winter touring schedule that has come through Cincinnati, and it becomes quite a drought for live music for me personally. So it did not take much [...]

When it comes to singer / songwriter types, the other guys here know to pass an album my way for consumption. So when music from Pennsylvania’s Damien DeRose crossed our radar, I was an obvious choice to give the album a spin. Damien goes by the guise ‘Peasant‘ on stage and on his album, and [...]

Morr Music is a label that I always pay attention to. The evaluators of talent at the small Berlin based label always seem to have something new up their sleeve that I can appreciate. And the debut album from German duo It’s A Musical is no exception.
It’s A Musical is a [...]

The Dears – Missiles

The new album from The Dears is a break up record. And not in the way you might be thinking. It’s not a record about love lost or even about a band on its last leg saying goodbye artistically on its final hurrah. But rather, Missiles is an album that was created [...]

This review was originally posted on The Futurist…

All the way back in 2001, Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear had no idea that he would become a member of the band. He had no idea that he would be a core member of one of the up and coming musical acts in the US, that [...]
