Pete Yorn mixes things up on new album
Based on the successes experienced by Pete Yorn since the release of his debut studio album, musicforthemorningafter, in 2001, you wouldn’t think the New Jersey born singer/songwriter hit the restart button and start from scratch. But following the release of 2006′s Nightcrawler and the resulting completion of what he considers a trilogy, Yorn did just [...]
CoS: Friend, Follow, and Free Beer!
Did you know that Consequence of Sound is more than just your go to site for all things music news, reviews, and festival coverage? Just take the three “F’s” for example…
Watch: Bishop Allen – “Dimmer”
Bishop Allen describe its new video for “Dimmer” as the result of “homemade props, a jell-o mold, rear projection and some truly fancy scissor-work.” “We were hoping to make something that felt like videos from when we were kids, and we discovered MTV, and it blew our minds. This, of course, when MTV was a [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: Dinosaur Jr. – Bug
Punk rock is an art form few insist exists anymore. The aesthetic is very much intact—you can buy it at Target. The essence of punk, however, has been choking on itself since Nirvana blew through our airwaves nearly a generation ago. While Kurt Cobain often declared he loved The Beatles, and the fact that he’s [...]

Yes, Los Angeles’ Foreign Born has announced plans for Person To Person, the 11-track followup to 2007′s On The Wing Now. So, what exactly should we [...]
SXSW gets a YouTube channel
I’m not sure what’s more shocking. The fact that South by Southwest officially gets underway this week or that only now, the Austin based extravaganza has a YouTube channel. Either way, it doesn’t matter much – after all, it’s not like we complaining that we’ll soon be taking over Austin with a stellar official showcase [...]

On Friday, March 20, 2009, Consequence of Sound will host its first annual South by Southwest showcase. Entitled simply as Listen!, this year’s event is designed to highlight six of music’s most talented up-and-comers in one night, under one roof. In the days leading up to the event, we’ll be taking a closer look at [...]
Live Quiet Sounds warms the Elastic Arts (3/6)
I’ve always found it ironic that Chicago’s experimental music venue Elastic Arts shares a building with Friendship Chinese Restaurant. Looking around the dim, lamplit warm orange room, everyone seems to know each other well. Some of the performers stand near the door, chatting with guests. Another sits on stage, preparing some strange objects that will [...]
What Blur reunion? Graham Coxon readies new solo album
Just because your band is getting back together for a summer extravaganza, doesn’t mean you still can’t release a solo album. After all, that is exactly what Graham Coxon will be doing on March 11th when the Blur guitarist will unveil his latest solo creation, The Spinning Top. Described by the 39-year-old British singer/songwriter as [...]
