  1. Album Review: BellaMaine, An Anxious Mind Anacortes, Wash. band BellaMaine released its new EP An Anxious Mind on January 15th and I imagine the band must be pretty jazzed about the attention it’s been getting. University of Washington radio station KEXP has since dubbed the band...
  2. Album Review: Bleeding Rainbow, Yeah Right Change requires adaptation. It requires time. When you start a new job no one expects you to know exactly what you’re doing immediately – that’d be a bit unfair. Maybe it’s a bit unfair, then, for us to assume that...
  3. Album Review: Pony Time, Go Find Your Own Minimalism is so cool. When I write that out, it sounds pretty facetious but I’m actually being very earnest – I love minimalism.  It can be a simplicity that gnaws at the very core of our deepest punk desires and...

  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. Artist of the Week: PO PO Since the early ‘60s, garage and lo-fi rock have been staples in music. Though many of the bands of this genre are mostly unrecognized or have faded into oblivion, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t have an impact on bands...
  3. Artist of the Week: The Static Jacks New Jersey’s The Static Jacks are climbing the steep steps to indie-rock acclaim.  Guitar-in-hand, the group breathes juvenile hellfire and wrestles across the barriers of punk, garage and soul on their full-length debut, If You’re Young, produced by Chris Shaw...

Our very own Daniel Kohn interviewed lead singer Ryan Spencer back in January. They’re currently on tour, and stopped of at Brooklyn Bowl for a Wednesday night set.

  2. Q&A: Ryan Spencer of Prussia Outside of 19th century historians, Prussia may be a name that many people aren’t familiar with. However, by the end of 2011, the band Prussia could be on the radar of every music listener. The group formed on the first...
  3. The London Souls Rock N’ Roll All Over Brooklyn Bowl Brooklyn Bowl has taken a while to grow on me as a venue, but I have to admit they’ve got a great space, and there’s no denying what a great combination a venue/bar/bowling alley/restaurant is. They’ve branded themselves well, and...

They exude an honesty that comes straight from musical self-confidence and trust between band members. Their powerful, folk-tinged rock first hit my eardrums about a month ago at The Bowery Ballroom, and ever since, I’ve been listening to their self-titled EP on repeat. Drummer/Producer Ryan Rabin
