Over the years 65daysofstatic have evolved from math rockers to a bunch of dudes who like to mess around with electronics.

Conan has been around since 2006, have previously released an album and a split and only occasionally play shows. Or so I’ve read. Because I had never heard of these barbarians before.

The Nashville rockers that make up Cheap Time are back for another round. “Wallpaper Music” is full of the kind of glammed up garage-y, punky powerpop that’s just plain fun to listen to.

Music has always been a great way to express feelings and Kurt Wagner has always been a man with a lot to express.

What the…I had no idea that Gollum played in a band! But apparently he’s fronting a doom outfit called Weedeater.

The first words you hear on Justin Townes Earle’s new album are ‘hear my father on the radio’.

First Aid Kit are two Swedish sisters that listen to the names Johanna and Klara Söderberg. I first read about them a little while ago and was immediately smitten.

Listening to “Wrecking Ball” it becomes obvious pretty quick that the spirit of Pete Seeger hasn’t left Bruce Springsteen just yet.

Death By Stereo was a pretty solid band back in the day with albums like “If Looks Could Kill, I’d Watch You Die” and “Into The Valley Of Death”.

The 2012 version of The Shins is slightly different from what we were used to. Except for James Mercer, it’s basically an entirely new band.
