Full Review: Damiera - Quiet Mouth Loud Hands

Once head deep in the ’straight forward’ punk genre, Damiera now has all the makings of borrowing fans from other similar bands such as The Mars Volta.

Daily Rec: 5/31

Any of you interested in artists such as Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles, or even Feist really need to give Stacy Clark a listen. I can definitely see her current album ‘Apples And Oranges’ being re-released by a major label and blowing up big time.
For some indie cred, Aaron Marsh of Copeland does sing on the [...]

TV/TV Is About To Be Huge

After randomly coming across the Pop/rock band TV/TV I fell in love with the catchy and slightly unique style the band has. This band will blow up given the chance.
Song to start with: Indie Rock Girl

Daily Rec: 5/30

Capital Lights may be a somewhat predictable pop/rock band but based on the 2 new songs from their yet to be released album ‘This Is An Outrage’ I’m wondering if the band doesn’t have a secret sauce they dip their otherwise traditional songs in, making them infectious.
All I’m really trying to say is that you [...]

For those not paying attention or not taking the earlier post seriously, you need to check out Above The Golden State. The band has a relaxed and mellow California rock style which is instantly attractive.

1 Liner: Damiera - Quiet Mouth Loud Hands

Punk band, Damiera have matured and expanded their sound to transcend the “punk” genre while not really leaving their former style. ‘Quiet Mouth Loud Hands’ is such a step forward for the band as well as the scene they contribute to.

Full Review: Weezer - Self Titled (Red Album)

There are so many ways to lead off a review of the new Weezer album that it’s hard to choose between talking about the fact that this is the 3rd self titled album in a different color or how musically the band has changed again to mix the old with the new.

1 Liner: Alesana - Where Myth Fades Legend

The new album from post-hardcore band Alesana is pretty much exactly what you might expect. With no real surprises or anything different from the norm, the album may get pretty bland for some. On the bright side if you’ve liked any of the songs you’ve heard then you will enjoy the entire album.

We are still working out the kinks for the new layout, any thoughts?
In the mean time, give The Waiting Canvas a listen.

1 Liner: The Canvas Waiting - In Search Of Beginnings

Passion and energy run deep and steadily throughout the entire album. The indie rock style is one of both upbeat night driving songs as well as reflective and somber songs. ‘In Search Of Beginnings’ is an album you should not let go unheard.

1 Liner: Weezer - Self Titled (Red Album)

You know you’ve been doing this awhile when you start running out of colors for your album cover. The red album is interesting, because in some ways it scratches so many of the itches that fans have had but in some ways it just misses the mark. Chances are this will be a hit or [...]

The A-Sides never really got the credit they should have with their release on Vagrant Records. Give them a spin.

Full Review: The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

The Hold Steady have managed to take a somewhat unpopular and usually underground genre and style into the spotlight which is crowded with one too many smooth singers. ‘Stay Positive’ is a progression for the band and a direction full of potential.

1 Liner: The Mirror Stage - Ten Thousand Tongues

Despite some minor flaws, The Mirror Stage has created a very compelling album that dives into a slightly darker indie rock. ‘Ten Thousand Tongues’ uses some light electronic elements to enhance the sound which fits well with the unique fragmented singing style.

1 Liner: The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

Even though you still may not recognize the name, The Hold Steady broke out into the mainstream with their last record and ‘Stay Positive’ should do just as well. The very raw indie rock music and vocals which sound inspired by rancid or other early punk have just enough pop in the mix to work [...]
