Let me preface this review with this: I know little about electronic music. I’m working with basically Daft Punk, a little bit of Justice and Deadmau5, Air, and Hot Chip as my main references/points of comparison. However, I look at this as a good thing because, with electronic music, I either love it and dance

We all know The Killers are awesome; I find them especially awesome since they’re from my hometown of Las Vegas. So, naturally, it sort of (read: really) sucked when they went on hiatus. Soon thereafter, I was excited to learn that frontman Brandon Flowers was releasing a solo album that would be entitled Flamingo. This
A veteran of the Los Angeles music scene, Nick Goose has finally taken off on his own, releasing his first solo EP, Change Please. It’s not just a clever title for an album. In this case, it’s an artist taking a chance on a new sound, but it is the first step on embarking on
It’s been four long years since Montreal-based indie rock outfit Miracle Fortress, aka Graham Van Pelt put out his last record, Five Roses. But he returns on May 17 with his sophomore effort, Was I the Wave?, taking the next steps in a budding career. This isn’t to say Van Pelt hasn’t’ been busy in

For those not in the know, she is a 100 percent real life Eskimo, not a common thing these days, especially in music. Yet her sound
Another night, another amazing concert. Let me just start by saying, I never cease to be blown away by the amount of talent abounding in the fine city of Los Angeles. That said, I found myself once again at the always cozy Troubadour this past Saturday night to see Voxhaul Broadcast, Family of the Year,

This singer-songwriter is no acoustic-guitar-playing, eyelash-batting, photo-with-my-cat-Mr.-Fluffles-taking kind of girl; the
The Albertans released their second full-length album, New Age, yesterday, and through my five back-to-back-to-back listens, I grooved and nodded and thought that these must be Sufjan Stevens‘ poppy, edgy siblings. This Canadian quintet, formed by a fateful convening of the five Albertan-bred musicians in Vancouver, brings a sound more rock than pop, but
Andy D. is not your average musician. For starters, his influences range from ‘80s greats Grandmaster Flash, Beastie Boys, Michael Jackson, Prince and Poison. He burst onto the Indianapolis scene a little more than a year ago, after moving down to Bloomington via Brooklyn. His live shows immediately became talked about. Combining rap, rock, and
