One of the most talented contemporary American bands, Spoon, just recently released their first material since the critically acclaimed 2007 “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga,” as the lo-fi infused “Got Nuffin” comes gracing our picky ears. Have to say, though, not the best title (as if “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” wasn’t enough), since this [...]

Yes, good band names are apparently very hard to find these days, but, leaving semantincs aside, the Durham/Chapel Hill trio of Hammer No More Fingers packs quite an indie rock punch. The band’s latest album, titled “Looking For Bruce,” was released earlier this year via Churchkey Records, but it’s only been until a few hours [...]

The world is still left ravashed after Michael Jackson fell in death’s cold grip, however his timeless music will undoubtedly continue to live on for generation to come.

Now, it’s really easy for people to feel more connected, and a lot of boundaries between people have been eliminated, whether they were of physical [...]

It’s curious how Devendra Banhart went around mixing Oasis, if you consider the later is a band that’s more into dance strings, while Banhart’s music is as weird and inaccessible per he is talented. Nevertheless, Banhart was given the opportunity to remix any Oasis track of his choosing from the 2008 LP “Dig Out Your [...]

Karin Andersson’s debut self-titled record, released under her Fever Ray moniker, is one of the loveliest of the year, packed with a vibe of serenity and bliss. It’s incredible how Karin channeled her creativity and talent on the album, proving she will never really be able to stay away from music. Let’s just hope she [...]

They form a Swedish indie pop band, that has been making music for two years now (well, that we know of). Coming across a couple of their songs has been my musical highlight last month. Their sound is [...]

Renée, Naemi and Elin, the three wonderful girls that make up the Swede power-pop trio Liechtenstein, just recently played their first show in the states, where (from what my sources tell me ) they simply brought the roof down. The band is still very obscure, but trust me, they’ll get very big in the coming [...]
