Video: The Dead Ships, ‘Canyon’

0

The Dead Ships delivered their much anticipated “Canyon” single back in October, hinting that the trio is heading in a classic rock direction. Never fear, the bluesy garage rock still takes precedence, combining melodic guitars with a pumping tempo and Devlin McCluskey’s signature howl. To match the track, the video takes us on a much-needed […]

0

Much to anyone’s surprise, something good can come out of Florida – Roadkill Ghost Choir bring smooth Americana to the table with hints of ethereal 1970s soundscapes and the familiar cool romantic tones of local L.A. rockers the Reflections. Roadkill Ghost Choir’s newest video for “Down & Out” was directed by the quintet’s friend Micah […]

Ears Wide Open: Magic Giant

1

Magic Giant is just what you would expect when you hear they hail from Venice Beach. Upright bass? Check. Fiddle? Check. Banjo? Yep, they’ve got that, too. The high-energy folk-pop quartet, who did the October residency at the Bootleg HiFi, don’t just want to move your body, they want to move your soul, finding inspiration […]

Video: OFF!, ‘Over Our Heads’

0

Not sure how comforting the barren interior of a skydiving plane would be with Jack Black as your coach, especially with a tab of acid on your tongue, but OFF!‘s new music video for “Over Our Heads” offers a pretty accurate indication. As the blood, gore and wilderness adventure ensues, the punk track thrashes along […]

Download: Say Hi, ‘Hurt In The Morning’

0

It’s been a few years since Say Hi dropped the tail-end of the moniker (formerly Say Hi To Your Mom) and the decision continues to bodes well. Seattle-based Erik Elbogen has been at it since 2002 and the newest installment to his catalog “Endless Wonder,” released in June on Barsuk Records, is nothing short of […]

Stream: September Girls, “Black Oil”

0

Dublin’s September Girls aren’t letting 2014 go without one last hurrah. After delivering their debut album “Cursing the Sea” earlier this year and making the highlights of CMJ, the Irish girl quintet release the “Veneer” EP today on Brooklyn’s Kanine Records. The four new songs stray away from the harmonic Vivian Girls-style jangles of the album […]

Stream: Two Gallants, ‘We Are Undone’

0

It’s no secret that San Francisco is, quite rapidly, experiencing a shift in culture that is abandoning it’s artistic charm, simplicity and strange for materialism and deep pockets. What better inspiration could Bay Area natives Adam Stephens and Tyson Vogel aka Two Gallants have to work with for their upcoming release, “We Are Undone?” The […]

Video: Peals, ‘Lonestar’

0

If we didn’t name drop William Cashion (Future Islands) and Bruce Willen (Double Dagger) you would likely pass over Peals as just another band you’ve never heard of. Like their revered bands, Peals is emotive and textured, harping on intimacy and the gentleness of electric guitar picks. The Baltimore-based duo tethered to Thrill Jockey (where […]

Phox serenades a sold-out crowd at the Echo

0

For limelight newbies Phox, the petite stage of the Echo offered only a little bit more elbow room for six members than their tour van does. But judging by their clean-cut attire Tuesday and sold-out room, you’d never guess this band isn’t from around here, much less that they’re on a national headlining tour. ||| […]
