  2. Big Spider’s Back With A Proper Full Length Debut Big Spider’s Back, aka Yair Rubinstein, has interesting music taste.

Incorporating everything from British library music...
  3. Madison Makes Beautiful Noise Don’t dismiss Madison as a regurgitation of pop stars like Kesha or Lady GaGa. While her songs are quite dancey, Madison brings an original style to pop music- and a lot of sex appeal.  Madison released the first installment of...

  1. Horse Feathers and Y La Bamba Give LA a Taste of Portland Horse Feathers Everything about last night’s show at The Echo was Portland-esque, from the intimate, nondescript venue; to the good (and cheap) tap selection and flannel clad band and audience members. If I hadn’t known better, I would’ve sworn that...
  2. A Very Happy New Year With Medium Troy 2010 was quite the year for Medium Troy – and for me as well. I first met MT this summer at the Oregon Country Fair; the band was my first interview for BestNewBands.com. Since then, I’ve interviewed artists such as...
