Har Mar Superstar
Har Mar Superstar – Lady, You Shot Me [S]ean Tillmann (no relationship to Josh) could moonlight as a stuntman for Ron Jeremy, (he never seems to want to wear clothes anyways). And he’s about to disembark on his fifth album, Bye Bye 17, on Cult rRecords, and this first
Port Isla
[A]nthemic folk music with a splash of Fleet Foxy goodness all wrapped into a tight package, and flown over the pond and straight into our ears. I’ve been loving the sounds I’ve been hearing from Port Isla, a Norwich, UK folk rock band that belts out the
Sad Baby Wolf
[bandcamp track=694524699 bgcol=FFFFFF linkcol=4285BB size=grande] [B]ack in December of 2011 I posted up early tracks from Sad Baby Wolf, a project from ex Shins’ keyboardist Marty Crandall and former member Neal Langford.

City and Colour
[D]allas Green’s highly praised solo project City & Colour has a new record coming this summer, and finally released this beautiful track “Of Space and Time,” a gloomy track about loss, and being lost, that by its climax soars, but echoes within the sullen nature of the lyrics.
Treetop Flyers
[C]an I get a little Ventura Highway with my coffee this morning? Treetop Flyers are set to release their debut release, The Mountain Moves, on Partisan Records June 25th and have released this wonderful breezy tune “Things Will Change,” that sounds more like America than it does a 5
The Features
[N]ote the sonic shift from Nashville band, The Features, on new track “This Disorder,” which will appear on their upcoming record eponymously named record, The Features.

Hollis Brown
Hollis Brown – Nightfall [S]ounding like a refined version of the late 60’s era rock and roll that sort of trembles into 70’s rock / folk /country terrirotry, Hollis Brown (the band’s name) is releasing Ride on the Train today on Alive Naturalsound Records. The record begins with
Great Peacock
[I]’m really enjoying this tune from Great Peacock, a Nashville band that seems to be grabbing interest these days. “Take Me to the Mountain,” has a classic southern folk feel, steeped in the 70’s country tinged pastiche that’s been modernized, cleaned up and recorded with beautiful string

Photos by Bobby Lilly Think back to your first concert. Odds are it was a grand production; you waited in line to buy tickets, and spent hours choosing the perfect outfit. Maybe you caught a ride with an older friend, maybe you got dropped off by your mom, maybe you
Akron/Family
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFBzC34kOp4[/youtube] [T]he second single off of Akron/Family’s upcoming Sub Verses, “Until the Morning,” is a shimmering psych-folk track that seems to be pushing the band in a more lyrically focused direction. “Until the Morning,” is an emotionally driven, moody
Brainstorm
[B]RAINSTORM’s new single “She Moves” released today, via Tender Loving Empire. The single is a dream-pop / scuzzed out tune, that screams experimental pop from beginning to end. It’s awful hard to define a tune like this, but something about it grabbed me pretty quickly. Whether its the
John Denver
[M]y Morning Jacket released a cover of John Denver’s “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” yesterday on NPR, as part of a tribute to the late songwriter on “The Music Is You: A Tribute to John Denver.” It’s a wonderful cover of one of the most iconic folk
