Jonny Craig Releases “The Lives We Live” Video

May 14th, 2013 James Shotwell

Former Dance Gave Dance frontman Jonny Craig is back in our headlines once again, but this time it actually has something to do with music!

Earlier today, May 14, Jonny Craig released the official music video for his new single “The Lives We Live.” The clip features Craig performing in a room filled with mirrors, with brilliant editing making things pop far more than that basic description is leading you to believe. The song itself is okay, taking a middle of the road approach in terms of speed and overall appeal. It’s clear Craig wants us to hear and see …

Cedric Bixler’s Solo Project Has Turned Into A New Band

May 6th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Cedric Bixler Zavala, former front man to both At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta, claimed when he first announced TMV broke up that he was working on a solo record. His original statements on Twitter said “Lots of desert ballad space jams, lots of harmonies, lots of lap steel and piano. Lots of AM radio love songs. Short bitter sweet love songs. Be warned I’m not making a rock record. It might lightly rock but not like I’m known for.”

Today, maybe that’s starting to change… or maybe he’s just assembled a band to do short bitter …

New Pearl Jam Album Almost Finished, Allegedly Sounds Like …Pearl Jam

May 2nd, 2013 Dan Bogosian

In this politically safe day and age, band members often tone down their hyperbole to make sure they aren’t caught foot-in-mouth later. Stone Gossard, guitarist for grunge band Pearl Jam, was quoted this week with a statement that is probably the safest thing one could say about an upcoming album. While trying to promote his new solo album, Moonlander, that is out on June 25, he said “[the new Pearl Jam album is] almost done and as far as what it sounds like, it sounds like Pearl Jam. You’re going to hear some rock songs and you’re …

Jonny Craig Starts Crowdfunding Campaign For New EP

February 12th, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Oh, the places Jonny Craig will go. Former Dance Gavin Dance vocalist and drug addict/awkward criminal Jonny Craig recently released three interesting cover songs (including a song originally by Justin Timberlake) and announced a solo headlining tour. Today, he has launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new EP on Indiegogo that you can find here.

Jonny is without a label now, so the crowdfunding could make or break him. In his own words, “I want to get some new music out to all of you, MY FANS, but in order to do so it’s going to …

REVIEW: Vinnie Caruana – City By the Sea

January 31st, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Artist: Vinnie Caruana
Album: City By the Sea
Label: Run For Cover Records
Genre: Punk/Acoustic

If you like pop-punk music and don’t know who Vinnie Caruana is, you’re probably really young, and that’s not really your fault. For those who don’t know, Vinnie Caruana has been in the pop-punk scene for a while now, first becoming famous for fronting the iconic band The Movielife. Now as the singer of I Am the Avalanche, Vinnie is slowly but surely making his way back into the ears of kids all over the punk scene. However today, I’m not reviewing either …

STREAM: Nate Barcalow (Finch, Reverend Crow) – “Gambling Man”

January 23rd, 2013 Dan Bogosian

We recently discovered that Nate Barcalow, vocalist for Finch, Reverend Crow, and Earthbound Ghost, had finished work on his debut solo album, Altered States. Now, Nate has uploaded a song from the album to his Soundcloud.

The song is acoustic but bluesy, and is just a guitar and two vocal tracks. There’s some beauty in the simple things. Nate commented on the sound of the solo album to UTG, saying “It’s acoustic based stuff, some full band. It’s pretty raw. I recorded the drums with one room microphone.”

Altered States aims to be …

Nate Barcalow (Finch, Earthbound Ghost) Finishes Debut Solo Album

January 21st, 2013 Dan Bogosian

Nate Barcalow has had a pretty packed schedule lately: last year, he finished up Earthbound Ghost’s debut record and started another band in Reverend Crow. Finch, the outfit he’s best known for, kicks off their anniversary tour on February 1. Apparently, throughout all of this, Nate has also been recording a solo album called Altered States, as he has posted the album cover on his personal Facebook page. It is being sent off to get pressed.

No word yet on the record’s official release date, but it should be fairly soon. If Altered States is available at …

STREAM: Jonny Craig – “Rhythm To My Soul (Heroin)”

November 18th, 2012 Dan Bogosian

Last we heard from Jonny Craig, he was writing a letter to himself. Now there’s a new song from his solo material for the world to hear, aptly titled “Rhythm to my Soul (Heroin)”. He is slated to release a seven song EP as a solo artist, although further details are still unknown at this time.

The song is clever (or stupid, depending on your view of drug abuse) as Jonny plays on his own drug addiction and uses “heroin” as a metaphor for a woman (“heroine”). The former Dance Gavin Dance singer has a history of drug …

James said via press release “I wanted the album to sound like it came from a different place in time. Perhaps sounding as if it were the past of the future, if that makes any sense—like a hazy dream that a fully-realized android or humanoid capable of thought might …

Ben Gibbard Says There Are “No Plans” For A New Postal Service Album

October 25th, 2012 James Shotwell

Indie music fans have wanted a new album from The Postal Service for a decade now, and it looks like they will have to wait a lot longer before anything happens (if it ever does).

Speaking with Spinner recently, Gibbard addressed recently surfaced rumors of new material from the project with the following:

“There are no plans to make a second record. I cannot say that enough.

I think people like the idea of a second Postal Service record better than they would like the second Postal Service record. It’s the desire for something one can’t have, the anticipation of …
