May 13th, 2013 Tyler Osborne Band: The Front Bottoms
Album: Talon of the Hawk
Genre: Punk/Acoustic
Label: Bar/None Records
I initially wrote The Front Bottoms off because I thought they were something hipster kids listened to while smoking out in their parents’ suburban basement. I will admit that. I hold really hard preconceptions, and I don’t know why, but that’s how I’ve always been. However, when one of my best friends told me that I needed to listen to The Front Bottoms, I decided to revisit the group because I figured they must have something good going on. When I first heard their self-titled record, …

April 29th, 2013 Tyler Osborne Artist: Koji
Album: Crooked in My Mind
Genre: Acoustic/Punk/Folk
Label: Run For Cover Records
Koji is arguably my favorite person in the music industry, and that’s a fact. Not only is he one of the most genuine and inspiring people I have ever had the pleasure to meet, but his music backs up his inner beauty. I’ve been clamoring for a full length since I heard his side of his split with Into It. Over It., and when I finally saw the announcement about his debut full-length record, Crooked in My Mind, I was overjoyed. Anticipation grew to an …

April 29th, 2013 Dan Bogosian Beck Hansen, perhaps best known to some as a “Loser” in the 90s (see-what-I-did-there), hasn’t released an album since 2008′s Modern Guilt, unless you count last year’s book of sheet music, Song Reader, as an album. Obviously, Beck is known for doing some unusual things. Today, Pitchfork let the world know that Beck has been working on another studio record and is going on a solo acoustic tour this summer.
Beck has not gone on tour in several years, and this being a solo acoustic tour makes some sense — not because of the material he’s writing, but …
