Record Review: The Ocean – Pelagial
Having never experienced or having never listened to The Ocean before, you could say that this was a bit out of my depths. The German post-metal band who last released two albums back in 2010 (Heliocentric and Anthropocentric) now embrace us with more sonic beauty, based around a concept where it takes the listener on … Continue reading
Gospel: Why The National Is Mine
As I leaned against the sullied toilet bowel, with my brain awash in guilt and my stomach aching to calm itself, the last song off a twelve-track LP completed its final few revolutions on our dorm room’s record player. I don’t remember much about what acts of debauchery preceded this specific moment in time, but … Continue reading
Another 15 Questions with Mylets
A lot has changed for Henry Kohen a.k.a. Mylets since we last spoke in December. He’s moved to Los Angeles, is now officially signed to Sargent House, and is living with Sragent house founder Cathy Pellow. Now Mylets days are filled with non-stop practice, playing, writing, and recording for his new full length which should be out next year. … Continue reading
Record Review: YEW – Too EP
So I’ll start by being completely honest in saying that when I heard some of the initial teasers and demo tracks that were leaked by Yew over a year ago I was very underwhelmed, but I have learned quite a few times that you cannot judge an album based on any of these sound bytes. And I … Continue reading
Interview: Phillip Cope of Kylesa
Like fellow Georgians Mastodon and Baroness, Kylesa have been pushing the boundaries of heavy music into weird and fascinating places for over a decade now. Each album has seen them embrace more and more otherworldly textures and their latest, Ultraviolet (out May 28th), seeks to be their trippiest yet, with songs that pummel the psyche … Continue reading
Record Review: Vampire Weekend – Modern Vampires in the City
For fans of and anyone even vaguely familiar with Vampire Weekend, the maturity of their latest album, Modern Vampires of the City will be evident upon the very first listen. Let me provide a statement that is undoubtedly going to become redundant when referring to this album: Vampire Weekend are all grown up. Modern Vampires … Continue reading
Record Review: The Dillinger Escape Plan – One of Us is the Killer
The Dillinger Escape Plan, who have formed a large fan base because of their unique music, are set to release their fifth album via Party Smasher / Sumerian to the masses which will no doubt be devoured happily. I have always been a fan of them ever since hearing Miss Machine and being entranced by their tendency to … Continue reading
Interview with The New Trust
I am new to the awesomeness that is The New Trust. I was exposed to the band from a post on the band Junius’ Facebook page and upon watching TNT’s video for “Compromise” I was hooked. They are the perfect combination of post-hardcore, heavy indie rock, mixed with earnest / clean vocals. One of the first things … Continue reading
Local Music Scenes Are Dying
Your local music scene may be a dying art form, and in a few more years could become a completely outdated musical platform. Blame it on reality TV, social media outlets ,or yourself. Up until about 5 + years ago there was a general sense of anticipation and excitement in checking out a new band … Continue reading
15 Questions with Intronaut
If you have ever read any of my posts you know I’m a total junkie when it comes to intelligent well crafted music with a hint (or sometimes a lot) of heaviness and Intronaut are a perfect example of that intelligent heaviness. I have followed the band closely for a few years now and have been a big fan of … Continue reading
