Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 2/2)
Now that Bruuuuuce regaled us at the Super Bowl and Coachella‘s done being a tease, we can all focus on the real reason we all listen to music: The Grammys. Ha. I kid. But while we wait to see if Radiohead will have some fantastic collaboration with Katy Perry next Sunday (I’m thinking a mash-up [...]
Interview: Gareth Campesino (of Los Campesinos!)
This past week, inside the poster friendly confines of Club Downunder in Tallahassee, Florida, Consequence of Sound’s Nicholas Comney had the opportunity to hang out and talk with Gareth Campesino, the front man of Cardiff’s finest, Los Campesinos!. This was just hours before he and his fellow band mates would perform; charming and warming the [...]
Cursive go Swollen on #6
As we first mentioned in December, rockin’ Tomorrow Never Knows hasn’t been the only thing on Cursive‘s agenda in recent months, and come March 10th, the world will finally get a taste of what Tim Kasher and co have been cooking up for the followup to 2006′s Happy Hollow. Entitled Mama, I’m Swollen, the 10-track [...]
Black Moth Super Rainbow is hungry…
Ok so when we got heard Black Moth Super Rainbow is gearing up to release a brand new studio described as a “dark bubblegum freakout” and full of “sticky, off-kilter melodies,” we can’t say we were really surprised. After all, this is the same group that released the insanely psychedelic Dandelion Gum in 2007 and [...]
Listen: Blueblood
“Are you a mod or a rocker?” That may have been the definitive question of early-1960′s Swinging London–and this year, Chicago’s own Blueblood get their shot at being the answer with their Have Mercy EP. They’ve got nice duds and a passion for classic soul. They’ve got nasty guitars, and hell-bent-for-leather attitude. Forty years earlier, [...]
Watch: U2′s spacey “Boots”
It’s hard to believe almost five years have passed since Bono had the world counting from 3 to 14, but alas, here we are in 2009 and so is he. A couple of weeks ago, we unveiled U2‘s new single, “Get On Your Boots”, for their upcoming twelfth record, No Line on the Horizon. Some [...]
Umphrey’s McGee hits the road for real and virtually
In exactly two weeks, Umphrey’s McGee will embark on a fairly extensive North America tour in support of its recently released new studio album, Mantis. Ahead of the trek, which officially kicks off on February 12th in Madison, Wisconsin, the Chicago base rockers will do something creative: they’ll take to the web for a virtual [...]
Watch: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band provide Super Bowl halftime entertainment
It’s no secret we at CoS are a bunch of Bruce Springsteen apologists. The man can simply do nothing wrong in our eyes. So when The Boss and his E Street Bandmates took the stage to provide the halftime entertainment for Super Bowl XLIII last night, it’s no surprise we were secretly hoping the game [...]
Album Review: Ben Kweller – Changing Horses
Throughout his 10-plus year music career, Ben Kweller has gone through his fair share of stylistic changes. As a teen, the Austin, Texas native first busted onto the music scene as frontman of the grunge-heavy, Nirvana-wannabe, Radish. By the age of 20, he had turned solo and quickly captured our hearts with a collection of [...]
Flight of the Conchords take funniness on the road
Even with their television obligations running in full-force and the release of their yet-to-be-titled sophomore album two an a half month away, the Flight of the Conchords have still managed to find time to plot out an extensive 37-date in support of the forthcoming studio endeavor. Just two weeks after the conclusion of the second [...]
