Young Galaxy are not just another dream-pop band. They’re not another Canadian indie-pop band, either. So what are they? Well, they are a consistently great and dedicated band that has suffered the highs and lows of the music industry. They were signed to a “mega” label in Arts&Crafts, and then found that the “dream” wasn’t
This weekend, one of my favorite artists, Robyn, is going to to grace the legendary stage of New York’s Radio City Music Hall, and you guessed it, I will be watching and dancing every step of the way. You can read my review of her last performance in New York, at Terminal 5, HERE. But
Fans of Le Tigre looking to relive the beautiful madness of their electro-punk/riot grrl days may not know what to make of MEN‘s Talk About Body. JD Samson, who joined Le Tigre when Sadie Benning left the band, is the first of their current lineup to put out a record, and while MEN is just
If David Berkeley‘s soul could sing, what would it say? It would more than likely be as animated, vibrant and emotionally invested as he sounds when he performs on stage. And since I have the pleasure of describing what it is like to watch him last night at the Rockwood Music Hall in New York

I enjoyed the San Diego rock band very much, but I also a little embarrassed that such an amazing band had eluded me. Fronted by Matthew Molarius on guitar, Jason Cardenas,
Tonight Alive are just one of those bands that you don’t want to get, at first listen. Your indie-sensibilities groan at the thought of another Paramore (despite the fact that they’re still your secret guilty pleasure).

What Le Poisson Rouge lacks in the ability to generate actual energy from a crowd as a venue, they make up for booking talented acts like Wakey!Wakey!

Boy & Bear is an indie folk band band from Sydney, Australia. I first got wind of them when they were tapped to support everyone’s favorite Grammy-nominated English folk band—Mumford & Sons—on tour, and their hit “Mexican Mavis” from their With Antartica America EP began to generate some buzz.

Last week, I attempted to describe to you the vibe from The White Panda/Hoodie Allen and G.Riot show that ended The White Panda’s tour. As you read this, The White Panda are holed up eating bamboo and perfecting the tracks for their hotly-anticipated next album. I’ve been following their growth as a unit for three
