The Acorn offers holiday memories
Even with the holidays behind us, a few of the season’s surprises are just now starting to catch our attention. Take Ottawa’s very own benevolent indie rockers The Acorn for example. As a token of the band’s holiday spirit, the Ontario based outfit recently released two brand new efforts as free downloads on its website. [...]
Rock History 101: Phil Ochs’s “I Ain’t Marching Anymore”
Out of all the musicians to come out during the ’60’s protest era, no one matched the fire and bluntness of Phil Ochs. His style was direct like a knife to the jugular of American politics, unashamed to rip his targets a new one by putting up a much needed mirror to the system. More [...]
Watch: Jeff Tweedy & friends cover “Fake Plastic Trees”
The 7 Worlds Collide Project, put together by former Crowded House frontman Neil Finn, is an interesting ordeal. Bringing some of music’s biggest names together for a tour in support of an album of covers and new originals is just plain awesome. However, it doesn’t get more awesome than when one of those said artists [...]
Listen: Wale
Hey, do you love Seinfeld? Yeah? So does D.C. rapper Wale. Enough that he made an entire mixtape based around it. He even got Ms. Street Cred herself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus to guest on it. Oh, and that upstart Lil’ Wayne too. It’s adorably titled The Mixtape About Nothing, and some of us here at Consequence [...]
Phish rolls out reunion dates
1:30 p.m. Update: An official video announcing the summer tour is now up on Phish.com…. Let’s be honest, from the time we first heard that Phish would be reuniting for a three night stint in Hampton, Virginia in late March, did anyone really think Trey Anastasio and Co. would be closing shop right after that? [...]
Queensrÿche examines American Solider on album and road
After using the last couple years to dabble in covers and greatest hits, Queensrÿche will soon return with its first new studio album of original material since 2006′s Operation: Mindcrime II, and much like that particular album, the band’s twelfth full-length effort will be on the concept side of things. Entitled American Solider, the legendary [...]
TNK Spotlight: The Donkeys
In the days leading up to the CoS sponsored Tomorrow Never Knows Music Festival, we’ll be spotlighting some of the acts scheduled to bring the music and the fun to Schubas Tavern in Chicago between January 14-18… No one should be surprised to find out the sleepy melodies and bouncy dream pop of The Donkeys [...]
Watch: Fujiya & Miyagi’s “Sore Thumb”
When it comes to being imaginative, Brighton natives Fujiya and Miyagi make it look easy. If their tripped out electro-inspired rock doesn’t show you that, then their videos should be the proper wake up. Each one is an overly stimulating visual that plays with the performance based video in all sorts of fun ways. At [...]
N.A.S.A. plans North American exploration
With the launch of their debut studio effort, The Spirit of Apollo, a little more than a month away (February 17th via ANTI-) the gentlemen of the fine DJ outfit better known as N.A.S.A. are currently making all the necessary preparations. Among them is the announcement of Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon’s first rather [...]
Album Review: The All-American Rejects – When The World Comes Down
I’m going to preface this review with my past experiences with The All-American Rejects to give an idea of how much I was looking forward to this record. The Oklahoma band’s self-titled album played as a soundtrack to my middle school years. “Swing, Swing” was one of the first songs I put on a mix [...]
