again for the win

REVIEW: Again For The Win – We’ve Been Here Forever

September 4th, 2012 Grace Duffy

Artist: Again for the Win
Album: We’ve Been Here Forever
Genre: Alternative rock
Label: Deep Elm Records

Again for the Win are a curious thing, and We’ve Been Here Forever is a curious album. A good one, mind, but one that’s difficult to define and discuss. It’s very odd and mysterious and often quite bleak, but so filled with wonder. It sounds very much like something stolen from a dream, embarking as it does on a transcendent journey through reverie, distortion, and over-intensity before finally arriving at something more real and engaged and everyday. The band have quite an ambient …

Brand New

Jesse Lacey Talks About Brand New

August 9th, 2012 Michael Meeze

Alternative rock outfit, Brand New, are not the most outgoing of all the “big bands” in the alt-scene today. Their well known spat with American media has been in full-force for over six years now, which has manifested itself in an all-out boycott of US outlets. However, the Long Island quintet have been more cooperative with Canadian and European media… especially as of recently.

Brand New singer, Jesse Lacey, recently did an enlightening interview with ExtremeNonchalance.com where he spoke on various topics ranging from the aforementioned media boycott to what direction he believes Brand New will head in for …

Case in Theory

REVIEW: Case In Theory – Cinematic

August 3rd, 2012 Grace Duffy

Artist: Case in Theory
Album: Cinematic
Genre: Alternative rock/Progressive rock
Label: DIY

Have you ever had a sudden, blissful moment of insight where you hear a sound or style that innumerable bands have strove and failed to achieve and then someone instantly, effortlessly, captures it? No? Just me? Well, Cinematic may just change your mind. The debut full-length of San José’s Case In Theory, it’s a stunning work that really captivates the listener, mixing a sublime ear for melody with beautifully realised atmosphere. This particular kind of airy, dreamy sound is far from novel – you can hear the …

The Early November In Currents Featured Image

REVIEW: The Early November – In Currents

July 10th, 2012 Grace Duffy

Artist: The Early November
Album: In Currents
Genre: Alternative/pop-punk/indie
Label: Rise Records

After taking a prolonged (and premature) hiatus from the music world, The Early November mark their return with an album of beautiful highs and crushing lows. In Currents is clearly a labour of love, something sweet and deftly understated, though it waivers towards the end and becomes a little too forced to really convince. The album mixes grace with spirit and sumptuously interweaves classical elements and strings to add light to the main instruments. It’s a rewarding listen, although Ace Enders’ vocals can overdo it at times, but …

Review: Band of Skulls – Sweet Sour

February 29th, 2012 Ethan Merrick

Artist: Band of Skulls
Album: Sweet Sour
Genre: Indie-Rock/Blues-Rock
Label: Electric Blues Recordings

It has been quite some time since Band of Skulls have released new material. Both the Friends EP and the live album Live on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic were released back in ’10, and since then the band has kept fairly quiet. Finally, the three-piece have broken the silence with their sophomore effort Sweet Sour. Like the title implies, the album is a bombastic blend of sludgy distortion and haunting melodics.

pulled apart by horses band

REVIEW: Pulled Apart By Horses – Tough Love

February 2nd, 2012 Ethan Merrick

Artist: Pulled Apart By Horses
Album: Tough Love
Genre: indie rock/post-hardcore
Label: Transgressive Records

When they came barreling on to the scene, Pulled Apart By Horses gained the attention critics and fans alike for the their energetic, bombastic live shows. With their self-titled debut record Pulled Apart By Horses was able to capture everything that made their live shows great without losing anything in the studio. On Tough Love the band sounds tighter, sharper and, maybe, a little cleaner. Despite the studio’s polish Tough Love is still brash and bratty.

MUSIC VIDEO: Third Eye Blind – Slow Motion

November 2nd, 2011 James Shotwell

Over a decade after its initial release on Blue, Third Eye Blind have released a music video for the fan favorite “Slow Motion.”

Set against the live version of the song that first appeared on 2006′s A Collection, the video gives you a perfect visual accompaniment to the track’s intimate feel. You can view the clip after the jump.

There seems to be no real explanation for the videos release other than to fill headlines, but it works so kudos to 3EB for that. The band does have a new album planned for 2012, so hopefully we’ll be …
