Georgia’s Baby Baby isn’t playing around with Money, released today. On the surface, this band looks and sounds like every wild party’s soundtrack: loud, guitar-driven rock with somewhat slurred lyrics.

I listened to Falcon’s self-released album, Disappear, one morning while puttering around. I couldn’t see my computer as the tracks played, and more than once, I thought I had left my iTunes on shuffle. I heard songs that sounded like Placebo, Arcade Fire, MGMT and Ratatat.

Perusing the concert listings for this weekend, I came across a name I recognized from my high school days. Beth Willis was a year or two ahead of me at Beaverton High School. I wouldn’t say we were friends. I knew her from the many drama productions I watched. She was an amazing singer and
After seeing The Sound of Growing Up’s stirring music video for “The Kite,” I had some burning questions for the boys, Justin Kao (vocals, guitar), Tom Meunier (guitar, vocals), Steve Tagarelis (bass, vocals) and Gerard Beaudoin (drums). In my review of their EP, Drifting, I likened the band to Ben Folds and said “the sound
Last Saturday, I got the chance to see Portland’s The Winebirds at The Woods. Before their awesome set, I sat down with Rose and Reggie, two of the six members of the band. Watch the video below for details of their upcoming new album, why their name is what it is, and even some joking
Portland’s Winebirds can be likened to Fleetwood Mac, if they had grown up watching a lot of The Partridge Family. That’s what my camera guy, Alex, said about them as we were leaving their show at The Woods Saturday night. It wasn’t an insult- he liked them a lot. It’s just that the Winebirds’s mixture
