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 unique: breezy vocals and playful keyboards, which are both combined with the most eclectic guitar sounds. Those who are already familiar with their music are going to be extremely happy to know that the members of the…
I think at one point or another, we’ve all wondered what would happen if you took two parts Van Halen, mixed in one part Red Hot Chili Peppers, spiced it up with a little Joe Satriani, and then settled on the most confusingly wrongheaded band name ever (and if you haven’t, what’s wrong with you, guy?!?!) So it’s with a mixture of joy and insomnia-induced hysteria that I present to you this band: Chickenfoot. Joe…
Comprised of Ard Matthews (guitar, vocals), Brent Harris (drums), Denholm Harding (bass, vocals) and Sandy Chila (guitar), Just Jinjer is the biggest thing that ever happened to the South African rock scene, which, upon their arrival, was totally revolutionized and brought to contemporary standards. The band has sold hundreds of thousands of records in their homeland, earning them multi platinum status, and managed to play alongside such acts like U2, Crash Test Dummies, Toto, Elvis…
Some voices just stop you in your tracks, and demand you take notice. Think Corin Tucker’s barely-controlled wail, Wilson Pickett’s heartfelt howl, or Mark Lanegan’s weathered moans. Well, we’re gonna need a bigger boat (new category): a new, slightly hyperbolic description to capture the intensity of Valerie Pomella, singer for The Technicolor Victrola, whose EP I’ve been lucky enough to discover. Hers is a voice that stops you in your tracks, grabs you by the…
http://www.myspace.com/billyzygote I received this CD free at a show but it’s definitely not one of those “free cds” that you usually get because, IT DOESN’T SUCK! Unsigned phenom Billy Zygote resides in Bloomington, IL and has been equated to pop rock candy. I couldn’t get away from this analogy because they essentially are this. They make me want to dance in an odd white person way…just bouncing side to side. Billy Zygote consists of Lindsay (bass/vocals),…
I’m pretty confused about as to where RATM stand at the moment: they split up in 2000 only to reunite to tour 7 years later, but pretty much all the members are involved in other projects that are recording albums, only RATM is not recording. One Day As A Lion is made up of frontman Zach De La Rocha of Rage Against The Machine, and former Mars Volta drummer Jon Theodore, and their self entitled…
Ocean Street sound has been described as a “melodic collision of Southern-Soul and Songwriter-Rock” despite their honest sound that dismises any labeling. Not exactly a brand-new-smoking-hot outfit, the members of Ocean Street have been cutting their teeth for a long time in places like Tallahassee, Baton Rouge, Atlanta, Nashville and the shores of Panama City Beach. I can picture this band performing any beach town in the world but, more than that, I can feel…
It’s really amazing to see one of this bands, that without any backing up and without “star flatulations” come out and basically beat the shit out of almost every other band out there, digitally speaking. The unsigned band recently released their debut album, ‘Union’, is currently at number four on the iTunes chart in the UK and even better, they top the US iTunes Alternative countdown. Pretty good for guys that pay for everything they…
Anybody here remember the good ol’ grunge days ?? Grunge was about …well it wasn’t about anything, really, but it changed our lives and despite the fact that it didn’t last for a whole lot of time some songs will be remembered forever, in the golden frame of eternity, and the influence of grunge is ever so present in our times. We all know Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and of course, Nirvana; these guys were everywhere….
www.myspace.com/companyofthieves http://www.companyofthieves.net/ As an early Christmas present I figured I would give you the best gift of all- the gift of music. Genevieve Schatz (vocals), Marc Walloch (guitars), and Mike Ortiz (drums) are COMPANY OF THIEVES. Natives of Chicago, Company of Thieves already have a large following in the Windy City and the rest of the midwest…not to mention their sold out shows in Chicago. Genevieve and guitarist Marc met at Chicago’s Union Station and thus creating Company…
