The Antlers – Familiars

Jul 20, 2014By Jon

I really wanted to like Familiars. To date, The Antlers have a stellar track record of majestic space-rock. 2009’s Hospice was a head-trip of sad-bastard melodrama. A concept record revolving around the trials of spending one’s days around the soonRead more…

Guiltfeeder – Shadow People

Jul 19, 2014By Jon

I don’t get hardcore bands like Guiltfeeder. I mean, I kind of get them. They are to music what brutal, gory, horror movies are to film. It seems less of an exercise in musicality but rather a display of aggression,Read more…

Jul 15, 2014By Jon

The Baseball Project is a group I’ve always been interested in, but it took me a couple years to pick up one of their records. After hearing how great 3rd is, I feel pretty late to the party. The groupRead more…

Jack White – Lazaretto

Jul 12, 2014By meandmyrobot

Mr White exudes kewl.  His brand is Dense.  Captial D.  Fat S.  If he was a baked good he’d be artisanal.  If he was tech he’d be a wearable.  If he was your cousin, well you would – even ifRead more…

Sean Nelson – Make Good Choices

Jul 7, 2014By Jon

Anyone remember that song “Flagpole Sitta” from the 90’s by Harvey Danger? Okay, that was an easy one. How about their critically acclaimed (but criminally overlooked) sophomore album “King James Version” that followed in 2000? Still with me? Do youRead more…
