Right when the band played the first note, there was a clear and crisp pop of a beer can being opened in the crowd, and the tone was

  2. Night of the Living Grave Babies at Death by Audio I’ve never been bored at a Death by Audio show, and last night was no different. Perpetual Ritual, Grave Babies, Ganglians, and Xray Eyeballs all played great sets. These were all bands I had not seen live yet, and I...

  1. Artist of the Week: We Barbarians Although the band has its roots in California, there is something far more east coast about We Barbarians’ post-punk revivalist sound.  The grandiose hard-pop of their new EP, Headspace, sounds more at home darting between skyscrapers and roaming the 8...
  2. Save the Clocktower – Artist of the Week You might remember Save the Clocktower from a BestNewBands.com feature several months ago reviewing their album Carousel. Or you might remember the name from Back to the Future. Either way, they’re a Chicago-based band worth remembering for a rainy day...
  3. Artist of the Week: Swift Technique Swift Technique is a funk band with Philadelphia in their bones. With a foundation in the roots of hip-hop, drawing on inspiration from Led Zeppelin, James Brown, and the streets of Philly, this six-piece combines hip-hop, funk, jazz, soul, and...
