Watch: Springsteen tackles The Clash
Requests are becoming a major theme of a Bruce Springsteen concert of late, as exemplified countless times over the last year. As a result, The Boss is usually “forced” to shell out a rarity or two at each date…and sometimes, like at his show in Philadelphia last week, a cover as well. But this wasn’t [...]
Atreyu hits the studio for new album
Dear Consequence of Sound, I was wondering if you could give me an update on Atreyu? I haven’t heard much about those guys since they headlined Projekt Revolution last summer. Signed, Imaginary Person in my Head Helping Make for a Solid Introduction
Album Review: Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band – Outer South
As I check Amazon’s information regarding Outer South, the latest incarnation of Conor Oberst’s near lifelong musical trek, I see the suggested purchase accompaniment: Bob Dylan’s forthcoming Together Through Life. This makes sense . . . sort of. After all, back in 2003 those convenient, “The Next Bob Dylan” labels were being issued out by [...]
Davy Knowles and Back Door Slam Coming Up For Air
In case you haven’t heard by now, the blusey trio better known as Back Door Slam is no more. What isn’t no more is former Back Door Slam frontman Davy Knowles’ new band, Back Door Slam. Confused? Basically it boils down to something like this: at the end of January, Knowles, Ross Doyle, and Adam [...]
Update: Heaven and Hell teams up with Coheed & Cambria for U.S. tour
No sooner did we drop details of its brand new album, The Devil You Know, Heaven and Hell has announced plans for its second North American tour. Beginning in early August, the ex-Black Sabbathers will hit the road for a month-long endeavor, supported by the likes of fellow heavy-hitters Coheed and Cambria. Tickets for all [...]
A night of Kills, Horrors, and Magic Wands at Bowery (5/2)
The Kills…The Horrors…and Magic Wands. No friends, this is not a summary of a some late night World of Warcraft fun. Instead, this is what transpired at New York’s Bowery Ballroom on Saturday night when three of indie’s most acclaimed up-and-comers hit the stage for a ruckus night of musical magic. Ok, so maybe it [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 5/4)
Admittedly, I often complain that the booking agents for the late-night chatfests don’t do a standout job. I love the Jonas Brothers as much as the next ‘tween girl, but I like a little variety in the guest lists. Well, I finally got my wish. Not only is there a range of musical acts this [...]
Album Review: Years – Years
Ohad Benchetrit, of Do Make Say Think, has taken the idea of a guitarist’s solo album to new worlds with his ambitious project, Years. The Canadian’s self-titled debut breaks apart the traditional “guitar hero”-like solo records that seem to showcase only what we already know, and instead transforms it into something entirely different, showing us [...]
Billy Bragg, Tom Morello, Mavis Staple joins George Wein’s Folk Festival
As if there weren’t already enough reasons to attend attend George Wein’s Folk Festival this summer – in case you missed our first post on the topic George Wein’s Folk Festival is the new name for the legendary Newport Folk Festival, Mr. Wein and company have added a few more additions to its 50th anniversary [...]
Listen: Chase Pagan
In the independent music scene, there is a fine line between originality and novelty. Those who tow the line have chances to go either way, but one wrong step can devastate not-yet-bloomed careers. Chase Pagan feels like a man on the fence who knows the way he need travel. The Arkansas native has the feminine [...]
