Sub Pop’s newest band, Obits, is all set to release their debut album I Blame You on March 29th. The members are all veteran indie rockers and the sound is in your face rock and roll. I haven’t heard the entire body of work, but what I’ve heard is coming off like The Rolling Stones [...]

Bottle Up And Go – These Bones [Album Review]

February 9, 2009

Bottle Up And Go’s debut EP is a sonic assault on the ears. These Bones is part Black Keys, part The Cult and part Soundgarden. Like The Keys, the band is a duo. Unlike The Keys, they have cool nicknames like Keenan “Hot Pants” Mitchell and Fareed “The Prince” Sajan . The duo out of [...]

Under The Covers: The Botticellis – Here I Go Again [Whitesnake]

February 7, 2009

I recently posted a bunch of great covers and then Bay Area blog, The Bay Bridged, snuck up and posted this gem shortly after.

Bishop Allen just tossed out a couple new tracks from their upcoming album entitled Grrr. Look for the album on March 10th via Dead Oceans.
