Jadiid
Knox Road —
Authority: 520
Jadiid is an interesting band. If you asked me to give you their overall “sound,” I suppose I’d say something about acoustic guitars, folk, soul, and the like, but it wouldn’t be a fair description. The band’s full-length, It’s OK, Be Anxious , definitely has an acoustic bend to it, but it also features ...19 hours ago -

Authority: 537
While many electronic music producers specialize in one specific niche, San Francisco-based DJ/producer Lorin “Bassnectar” Ashton likes to keep his musical options open. On his seventh album, Cozza Frenzy , Ashton unleashes a tasty smorgasboard of pummeling dubstep beats, tough-as-nails breaks, blissed-out ...1 day ago -
Beth Bombara and the Robotic Foundation
Knox Road —
Authority: 520
There are many artists out there that really give me a tough time getting used to their sound. Granted, once I do, I don’t understand how I didn’t like the music before (yes, Dirty Projectors, you are finally in that category for me.) So it’s surprising when I’m smitten almost instantaneously by a certain ...2 days ago -

Recently the oh so awesome and amazing Vicki Hardin of Clay Art Web compiled a guide to great Clay art on Etsy .

Will Stratton: Perfect for a cold weekend
Knox Road —
Authority: 520
Wunderkid Will Stratton ’s newest LP, No Wonder , dropped earlier this week and I’d be remiss not to share my thoughts. I know very little about Stratton, except that Mr. Nobody, Sufjan Stevens, made an appearance on his first album, What The Night Said , which garnered much critical praise. His voice is eerily ...1 week ago -

Pacific Northwest rock heroes the Melvins have been blasting out their blend of punk, metal, and experimental music since the ’80s. By the ’90s, when Melvins pal/fan/failed auditionee Kurt Cobain and his crowd came into ascendance, the Melvins were hailed as the godfathers of grunge, but they just kept on ...1 week ago -

Joe Nichols: Singing About ‘New Things’ And ‘Old Friends’
LimeWire Music Blog —
Authority: 537
Take one listen when Joe Nichols sings and one thing is apparent. He is a country singer. That direction has been very apparent from the start — even when it “cost” him a chance to go with another style. “I had a rock and roll phase for about ten minutes when I was in the ninth grade,” the singer joked to ...1 week ago -

Brooklyn Funk Essentials , who were mentored early on by legendary producer Arthur Baker, have been mixing funk, jazz, hip-hop, world music, and more into a percolating multi-culti sonic stew since the early ’90s, even though they took a hiatus for a while.

LimeWire Music Blog —
Authority: 537
While he isn’t a household name (yet), Tom Wurth is one of those artists that you just have a feeling about. He plays hard, but he balances that with an undeniable work ethic that comes across whether he is on stage, or in the studio. “If I had to define myself,” Wurth tells LimeWire Music Blog, “I think I ...2 weeks ago -

Knox Road —
Authority: 520
This track is for all you haters who think we aren’t diverse enough ’round these KR parts. Well, lemme tell ya, we listen to a plethora of different genres within our little indie music world, so don’t think we limit ourselves to a certain type. While, obviously, we have preferences (including differences among ...2 weeks ago -

Been listening a lot lately to James Yuill ’s Turning Down Water For Air , an album released back in January of this year, and frustrated is the first emotion that comes to mind; why have I not listened sooner? Yuill’s music is right up my alley with electroacoustic digs and a distinct folk vocal tone; he ...2 weeks ago -
Artist profile: The Heavy
LimeWire Music Blog —
Authority: 537
British band The Heavy takes its name literally, but that doesn’t mean they’re devil-sign-throwing metal merchants. Rather, their from-the-gut mix of garage rock, R&B, funk, punk, and reggae delivers a cathartic kick that can be felt as well as heard. Even though they’re a relatively new commodity, ...3 weeks ago -
Dreamy, spooky pop from Jordan Galland
Knox Road —
Authority: 520
Jordan Galland ’s music is one-of-a-kind, blending a diverse range of styles into highly listenable pop. Vibrant horns and keys stand out over hints of “pop noir” – you know, the kind that has an underlying eerie chill. But it’s hidden of course, like a well-trained con artist – which in this case is a ...3 weeks ago -

We Are The Willows , the solo-project of singer/songwriter Peter Miller, will release A Collection Of Sounds And Something Like the Plague , November 24.
