• 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 ...

• Joe Nichols: Singing About ‘New Things’ And ‘Old Friends’

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 580
  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 ...

• Tom Wurth: Working Hard And Having Fun

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 580
  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 ...

• [MP3] Me’shell Ndegeocello: “Bright Shiny Morning”

  
  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 ...

  Knox Road — Authority: 520
  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 ...

• Artist profile: The Heavy

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 580
  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, ...

• 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 ...

• Heading over to France for some Alcest

  
  Knox Road — Authority: 520
  I’ve been on this weird awesome shoegazey post-rock kick over the past week or so. There’s just something about a hugely distorted wall of guitar noise, you know? Anyway, this fellow from France goes by the name Neige, and records under the name Alcest . His early recordings had a black metal type sound to ...

• Uncovered: The States

  
  LimeWire Music Blog — Authority: 580
  The States ‘ razor-edged rock has the uncanny ability to evoke Radiohead-like dreamscapes, Zeppelin-inspired bombast, and an Orwellian political sensibility, often in the same song. Their new EP, We Are The Erasers , produced by Chris Grainger (Wilco, Switchfoot), is both intimate and grandiose, at home equally in ...
