July 11, 2009

Over the past several years, Boston outfit Wheat has been hopping labels, keeping a fairly low profile and seemingly trying to find themselves. After lead-singer Scott Levesque lost his father in 2008, it provided some of the inspiration needed for a new album. On July 21, Wheat is set to release their latest, White Ink, [...]

Chicago Show: The Deep Dark Woods @ The Hideout on Tuesday!

July 10, 2009

Okay Chicago readers. I know this show is on a Tuesday (7/14), but I’m going guarantee satisfaction. It’s only a $5 donation to get in the door, The Hideout serves booze and The Deep Dark Woods go great with booze. Their album, Winter Hours, is still my favorite of 2009 and after having a few [...]

Ryan Gosling has a Goth, Folk, Doo-Wap band and performs in a graveyards. And he’s damn good.

July 9, 2009

If I’d have known Dead Man’s Bones was co-founded by that cute actor, Ryan Gosling, I probably wouldn’t have given it a chance. I have something against actors turning into musicians. I think it started with Corey Feldman. Lucky for me, I started watching and then later found that Gosling was in the band. I [...]

Scott H. Biram – Something’s Wrong/Lost Forever [Album Review]

July 7, 2009

Scott H. Biram, Austin’s Dirty Old One-Man Band, is back with his blend of country, blues, punk, gospel and soul. Every type of music that I like is thrown in a blender by one crazy Texan and poured into a rocks glass neat. Just like a fine bourbon, Something’s Wrong/Lost Forever is meant for sipping, [...]
