Strand Of Oaks, Live Session #86

March 29, 2011

It’s been great to watch Strand Of Oaks (Tim Showalter) gain in popularity over the past couple years. It’s been a very organic, word-of-mouth process, but it he’s still indie music’s best kept secret. His passion is rivaled by that of his fans and his genuineness further endears him to those that love his music. [...]

First Aid Kit, Live Session #85

March 15, 2011

First Aid Kit are giving me goosebumps. “Ghost Town” was one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite discoveries of 2010 and hearing the live session version gave me chills all over. Their debut album, The Big Black And The Blue, turned all sorts of heads in the States and overseas. While I [...]

The Deep Dark Woods – Under The Covers, Live Session #82

January 4, 2011

In a conversation with The Deep Dark Woods last year (after many tall cans of beer) I mistakenly referred to their hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan as “Saskatchatoon.” It may be the only time Ive seen the band without smiles on their faces. But, like any good drinkers, they have much respect for the drunken slur [...]

The Black Angels, Live Session #81

December 2, 2010

The Black Angels released Phosphene Dream back in September. It’s an album that finds the Austin outfit tightening things up, writing crisper songs, and putting out their finest effort to the date. We’ve neglected to review the album, but it’s one of 2010′s finest from a band we’ve grown to love more and more since [...]

Dax Riggs showcases signature howl, Live Session #79

October 6, 2010

Vocals. That’s what immediately comes to mind when I hear the name Dax Riggs. His voice is other-worldly, expelling dark lyrics in a visceral howl. He’s half man, half beast. Riggs’ musical career broke with his band, Acid Bath, garnering him a following in the underground metal scene. We fell in love with him after [...]

Futurebirds, Live Session #75

August 3, 2010

Futurebirds. What else can we say that hasn’t already been said over the past several weeks? We fell in love with this Athens, GA alt-country band with the release of their free EP and then they exceeded all expectations with their debut album, Hampton’s Lullaby. The band rolled into the studio and tore through a [...]
