  1. More New Bands At Fun Fun Fun Fest: Angel Olsen, Deafheaven And More Austin – Reaching the end of Fun Fun Fun Fest was downright depressing. It was a bummer saying goodbye to festival friends after three short days, and remembering that 1) you don’t do something enviably cool every night and 2)...
  2. Liturgy Test The Faithful With ‘The Ark Work’ New York – Liturgy was a different sort of metal band from the start, when their debut album Renihilation came out in 2009. Renihilation sounded like a black metal album, with its witch’s howl screaming and torrential tremolo guitars and...
  3. Ancient Sky Dials Up The Intensity On Mosaic Los Angeles – While there is no question that psychedelic music is making a huge comeback in both the underground as well as the mainstream, it has mostly skewed too heavily in the pop-oriented direction, losing the roughness that gave...

  1. 5 New Bands At Fun Fun Fun Fest – Day 2 Austin – By Saturday morning Fun Fun Fun Fest had gotten the gates under control, by which I mean it was elbow-to-elbow in the festival grounds.  I can only assume things got weird in the designated make out area. Very...
  2. 4 New Bands Worth Seeing At Fun Fun Fun Fest Austin – Everyone recovered from ACL? Cool. It’s time for Fun Fun Fun Fest. Austin’s third-favorite festival starts this Friday, November 7, and while the name is trying a little hard, the lineup is enticing. The headliners are a mix...
  3. 4 New Bands Dazzle At Fun Fun Fun Day 1 Austin – Fun Fun Fun Fest definitely front-loaded its lineup. The five bands I wrote about played on Friday, along with Alt-J (who Best New Bands reviewed earlier this month), 2 Chainz, Dinosaur Jr., Death From Above 1979, Judas Priest,...
