Mornin Old Sport
Mornin’ Old Sport – When The Bomb If you are in need of a time machine, read HG Wells, or just turn on Mornin’ Old Sport, a Berklee alum band bringing back sounds of yesteryear… in fact way back to the days of the Great Gatsby. A time in history before
band of horses
Give a listen to multi-instrumentalist Ryan Monroe (of Band of Horses) and the first listen of his single “Turning over Leaves,” an interesting pop-oriented soul influenced track off his upcoming album A Painting of a Painting on Fire. This is definitely not what I was thinking I’d hear from
Black Box Revelation
I hate to limit a specific area to a specific sound but this rock duo, of 22-year-old Jan Paternoster and 20-year-old Dries Van Dijck, playing out of Brussels, Belgium is playing a dirty blues/rock that seems to be coming out of left field. To me, I smell a lot
Langhorne Slim
Langhorne Slim – The Way We Move Its been far too long since Langhorne Slim has dawned a new album on us. Be Set Free was released back in ’09, and finally we’re about a month away from the release of The Way We Move. If you hadn’t seen
Living Things

The Fort Frances
Fort Frances – The Only Living Boy in New York (Simon & Garfunkel Cover) Fort Frances – The Lowlands The boys of Fort Frances have pulled off a few covers, and this to me is one of them. The staple Simon & Garfunkel song from their classic record Bridge Over Troubled Water,
The Walkmen
Check out a new track from The Walkmen’s upcoming record Heaven (out 5/29) titled “We Can’t Be Beat.” The track is features a tenderly plucked guitar layered beneath singer Hamilton Leithauser’s intimate vocals. The back-porch sound of this track feels very stripped down, and very basic,
passion pit
I know I’m a few days late on this, but I was on vacation, and I think it’s still worth noting. Passion Pit has debuted their new single, “Take a Walk,” which seems to be picking up right where they left of with Manners back in 09. Back
Maps & Atlases
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqQ9i5m_pEk[/youtube] Over the last couple of years I’ve become a fan of Maps & Atlases, I really enjoy what they are doing, how they’ve expanded the math rock genre and found themselves a perfect sonic space. They’ve recently
This here is my mixtape for April. Its full of songs that I loved this month, and I think is representative of a great month of music, and promise for more to come. Tracklist: 1. River City Extension – Welcome to Pittsburgh 2. Deer Tick – Born At Zero 3. Ponderosa – Black
Turbo Fruits – Sweet Thang Not the first time I’ve made mention of Nashville’s Turbo Fruits, this band led by the former guitarist for now-defunct Nashville garage-punks Be Your Own Pet. Check out a new track from their upcoming (September 11th) album Butter. The single is a fun, retro/
