Tomás Doncker Band – “Moanin’ At Midnight: The Howlin’ Wolf Project” Review

I never grew up in the presence of blues and I wish I did. I mean, there were times where I heard a tradeoff blues song covered by rock musician like The Allman Brothers or Jeff Beck, but there wasn’t a time until I discovered my own music that I had a true blues artist.

St. Vincent to release new album and single

Following up the amazing Strange Mercy, St. Vincent will release her fourth album on February 25th, 2014 off a new deal with Republic Records here in North America. With a fitting title of St. Vincent, expect it to expand on the pop aesthetic she craftily created in 2011. Listen to this first single, “Birth In Reverse”, below

M.I.A. releases new song, set to release new album

On the brink of a new album, M.I.A. has released the single, “Bring The Noize”. The new release, titled MATANGI, is a follow-up to the 2010 album, Maya. The album failed to reach the success of the great Kala, which was released another three years earlier in 2007 (“Paper Planes” anyone?). The multi-talented British artist seems to have

We Are The City release their sophomore album, Violent

The band has yet to release a mediocre album, and the critical acclaim doesn’t seem to be

Listen to Stephen Brodsky’s EP – Hit or Mystery

If one things for sure, it’s that this is definitely not what Cave In sounds like. The Boston post-hardcore band’s front man, Stephan Brodsky has a new EP coming out on April 16th on Little Black Cloud, and it is killer good. Hit or Mystery has this psychedelic-folk atmosphere, but it’s not the kind that comes

The Mars Volta Break Up

Fresh off the press from twitter, The Mars Volta member, Cedric Bixler Zavala announced today that the band was planning on going on tour, but supposedly band leader Omar Rodriguez Lopez has said he doesn’t plan on taking TMV any further. This is a sad moment because of how much recent success Omar’s past band,

Neutral Milk Hotel frontman, Jeff Mangum announces 2013 tour

Long after the years of Neutral Milk Hotel, the legacy of In The Areoplane Over The Sea still to this day remains a large part of modern music culture. There’s a large hustle and bustle of the album online with jokes about the infamous lyrics to the album artwork itself (I know its a drum,
