Ramona Falls – Spore Portland, Oregon has graced the world of music with many fine bands these past few years, one of which is Brent Knopf’s latest project Ramona Falls.

Los Angeles songstress Eleni Mandell has definitely got the voice. Its sultry, warm, and oh so very sincere as she waxes poetic on this single off her upcoming record, I Can See the Future. “Never Have to Fall In Love Again,” seems to be a warning to lovers, or maybe a guide to what she actually wants out of a relationship. Either way, its a light-hearted country / folk track from a talented songwriter witha really nice voice.
I Can See the Future is set for release July 10 on her new label, Yep Roc Records. Pre-Order here.

2 CommentsBuffalo Killers – Get It Buffalo Killers’ next album Dig. Sow. Love. Grow. is set for a August 7 release on Alive Records. The KY trio released first cut “Get It,” and as evidenced it draws from similar influences as past tunes, a little americana, rock, folk and a little fuzzy psychedelia. The song is pretty guitar heavy and suuuuuper fuzzy, and definitely feels as though it could have come straight out of an early 70’s rock record.
1 CommentHoots & Hellmouth – Why Would You Not Want To Go There I’ve been listening to this nonstop the last few days, in an effort to come up with the words for why I like it so much. I’ve yet to find the right words. Hoots & Hellmouth are a Philadelphia based folk / americana outfit who released a new album Salt, back in April on sonaBLAST records. “Why Would You Not Want To Go There,” is a gleaming songwriters song, that feels a bit dream like, with a sunny disposition, the music is warm, building in volume, and the…

Check out the video from Best Coast for their track “The Only Place” where they wax poetic about the only place for them, off their recently released, fantastic summer anthem album by the same name.
Leave a CommentLast year I chose Southeast Engine’s Appalachian folk record Canary as my top record of the year, and I couldn’t be more happy to see the upcoming release of Canaanville EP out July 31, 2012 on Misra Records. The EP will contain 4 tracks that were not B-Sides from the aforementioned record. It was designed and recorded as a 4-song appendix EP designed to accompany Canary. Check out “Old Oak Tree,” an extremely catchy track and grab yourself a pre-order of the EP.
Leave a CommentOne of my favorite blogs to read, and certainly one of the reasons I got into this whole thing, Hearya released a superb live session with a deep obsession of mine, the Lumineers. I’m just going to post all the videos, because each is worth watching. Then you should head over to HearYa and grab the session free to download. It’s a flipping amazing sounding recording, and I’m awfully giddy about this.

Enter Luke Winslow-King a student of the varying types of blues. He studied composition at University of New Orleans and is making some waves down in Nola as a skilled songwriter and entertainer even playing world famous Preservation Hall. Taking his influences from the city around him, and old time pre-war blues and jazz seem to really be…
