Bahamas
[I]’m really digging the vibe on the new track from Afie Jurvanen’s project Bahamas. It’s soulful tune, with a bit of a Jackson Browne feel, the lyrics are focused around believing in someone who doesn’t believe in themselves, and encouraging them to be better, and well
[D]enver, the band, is bringing forth another record this summer, Rowdy Love, and we’re right around the corner from its July 15th release. They just released another track from the record, and it’s a glowing, 70’s inspired folk rock track written about Mike Elias’ marital issues,
Goodnight Texas
[N]ew music from our pals Goodnight, Texas, the cross-country collaboration from San Franciscan Avi Vinocur and Carolinan Patrick Dyer Wolf. “A Bank Robber’s Nusery Rhyme,” evokes that same turn of the century Americana they had focused on on A Long Life of Living, an album that we absolutely

[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIShuV7_KVw[/youtube] [I] simply can not help having to post this. After listening to it multiple times in a row, I thought I’d eek out a few minutes and put this up, because it’s just better to share videos like
The Rosebuds
[I]’m pretty excited that North Carolina’s The Rosebuds are at it again, carefully composing another classic sounding folk-rock tune in “In My Teeth,” a tune that slowly slides itself deep inside your head, after a few listens, you have no idea where the time went, but you know
Cory Branan
[W]hy Cory Branan hasn’t hit it big I’m not really sure, the guy writes fantastic songs, a lot of them are damn catchy and I love most everything I’ve heard from him. I suspect he’s going to catch on more and more, especially with this
The Felice Brothers
[S]uper excited about a new record from the Catskills’ sons The Felice Brothers. If you’ve seen this band live, you can understand why they have such a great following, their shows are raucous, fun, and at times soulful. This band has also done great stuff musically, and this
Bishop Allen
[T]his new tune from NYC’s Bishop Allen dropped and I kind of love it. It’s effervescence abounds, it’s crazy catchy, the perfect summer tune, and we should all be jamming to this day in and day out. From the moment the first jangly guitar riffs ring,

[W]hen good bands curate festivals, good things generally happen. Such is the case with Austin Psych Fest, the pet project of Black Angels now in its eighth year. Set on a working ranch ten miles outside of Austin, the context is ideal: A reasonable number of stages (3), a

[W]hat’s a good disaster ballad without a story of a ruined summer fair? I’m not really sure where I was going with that, but the newest single from Pittsburgh’s 1,2,3 is a ramshackle garagey tune about a disaster at the county fair, and well

[W]hen a friend wants to give tickets away sometimes they come to us to find a good fan that would happily enjoy seeing one, or two of their favorite bands play a fantastic show. When we get that opportunity, we try to give it back to all of you.
