Sirah: Inhale

Posted on August 12, 2013October 8, 2013 by Kate Foster

You’re gonna love Sirah. It’s not that her new EP, Inhale, is all that groundbreaking in a technical sense. It’s not because her five-foot frame and candy-colored hair make the guttural raps emerging from her throat even more shocking. It’s not even the fact that she shares a Grammy with Skrillex for “Bangarang”, a collaboration…

REVIEW: Forecastle Festival Day Three

Posted on July 24, 2013October 8, 2013 by Jacklyn Citero

The last day of Forecastle was sweltering, and inclement weather loomed for later in the day. Waking up that morning, we were in for a bit of an unpleasant surprise.  We had been made aware of Animal Collective’s cancellation days prior to the festival, but it seemed that Dan Deacon suddenly just disappeared off of…

REVIEW: Forecastle Festival Day Two

Posted on July 23, 2013February 12, 2015 by Jacklyn Citero

Saturday’s lineup packed in the most music and variety of the festival with acts from Shovels & Rope to Foxygen to Dawes to Matt & Kim to Jim James…the list goes on. So much to see and so little time to do it all in. The day started off with some cloud coverage, a light…

REVIEW: Forecastle Festival Day One

Posted on July 22, 2013October 8, 2013 by Jacklyn Citero

After taking a seven-hour trek and making it through the cluster of endless lines of eager festival goers, we were finally greeted by Louisville’s 85-acre Waterfront Park overlooking the Ohio River. With a lineup including headliners The Black Keys, The String Cheese Incident, The Avett Brothers, and Robert Plant, Forecastle Festival seemed to have something…

REVIEW: of Montreal premiere first single off new album

Posted on July 10, 2013October 8, 2013 by Kate Foster

of Montreal is the kind of band that wanders in and out of its time. At the height of fame for Kevin Barnes and crew, around the Hissing Fauna era, their sound was modern and fresh. By Paralytic Stalks, the band propelled into the future, prompting the loss of a few unprepared fans. With the…

REVIEW: Look Alive’s ‘Mistakes and Milestones’

Posted on June 25, 2013October 8, 2013 by Samantha Gilder

Look Alive, an up-and-coming band straight out of Atlanta, Georgia, is kind of like a manifestation of all of your favorite pop-punk bands from 2004. Intrigued? Well, rightfully so. These guys have been at it in some form or fashion for over 10 years now, and now the time has come for them to release…

REVIEW: David Lynch and Lykke Li’s “I’m Waiting Here”

Posted on June 12, 2013October 8, 2013 by Amy Anderson

Two years since David Lynch’s “Pinky’s Dream,” the release of his upcoming album, The Big Dream, is creeping along quite nicely, with Lykke Li’s whispered hint of a far sexier and more surreal theme of an album that may indeed be much bigger and better than its predecessor. “I’m Waiting Here,” the Lykke Li/David Lynch…

REVIEW: Heard In The Mountains’ Will To Well

Posted on May 28, 2013October 9, 2013 by Kate Foster

In 2011, Vancouver-based band Heard In The Mountains got together and began shattering the windows of a local church – metaphorically speaking, that is. As their casual jam sessions began to morph into the beginnings of an actual band, their sound transformed into a rock-meets-pop-meets-indie powerhouse, and frankly, we’re surprised they didn’t blow that church’s…

REVIEW: “Palm Reader” by Sonny and the Sunsets

Posted on May 27, 2013October 9, 2013 by Grafton Tanner

Sonny and the Sunsets’ follow-up to Longtime Companion is entitled Antenna to the Afterworld, and like many indie artists to go before them, Sonny Smith and his band are ripe to tackle death and its aftermath.  The band suffered the loss of a close friend, and that tragic experience has led them produce songs like…
