It’s been a wild year for Golden Grrrls. The Glasgow/London-based outfit released a romping self-titled debut album via Slumberland Records (U.S.) and Night School (UK), toured Stateside for the first time (a feat they never thought they’d achieve), and filmed a music video for the album’s single, “Take Your Time.” What began as a bedroom
Javelin is Tom Van Buskirk and George Langford, two cousins from Providence, RI who began playing music together in 2004. But unlike many of the mash-up artists of the mid-2000s of which they are often compared, Javelin’s sonic collage of samples are re-assembled and recorded with live instruments—thumb pianos, drums, wooden recorders and anything else
I’ve always kind of imagined the members of Fol Chen writing songs the way scientists would conduct experiments in a laboratory, with beakers and Petri dishes and controlled explosions and all that. After speaking with guitarist Samuel Bing and Vocalist Sinosa Loa for 20 minutes while waiting for a round of hot toddies, I learned
Eric James and Mason Ingram define their musical genre as “Urban Walking Music,” on their Facebook page, but the Brooklyn jokesters have a lot more to offer than just tunes for mulling around the city. The singer/producer and drummer began playing music together in the beginning of 2010 and early this year released their
If the guys in Audacity know one thing, it’s how to have fun. The Orange County bred punk rockers have been playing music together since Elementary school, and though they have grown up since then, they still focus on having a good time, and it’s worked out in their favor. The quartet is gearing up
I met up with Elephant Stone in a quintessential Austin-type bungalow in South Austin. Upon my arrival, the group offers me tea and coconut water. We sit down in the living room – myself, Rishi Dhir (bass, vocals, sitar) Gabriel Lambert (guitar, backing vocals), Stephen (Venk) Venkatarangam (keys, bass), Miles Duprie (drums), Rishi’s wife Kirsty,
Some people just have music in their blood, and it’s safe to say that Jamie Jackson is one of those people. Ever since she can remember, she has been singing—whether it be to the radio or as part her church choir—but the chanteuse didn’t publicly share her gift with the world until later in life.
For the past year or so, JEFF The Brotherhood have been zigzagging the country in support of their latest album, Hypnotic Nights. The album was their highest charting to date and their first with Warner Bros. But being on a major hasn’t stopped the brothers Orrall from rocking and rocking hard. They maintain an independent mentality even
All good things must come to an end, and every once and awhile something even more amazing ascends from the ashes. This was the case for vocalist/guitarists Jon Loudon, Dave Klyman and Ben Pierce. After the demise of the trio’s long-running Philadelphia rock outfit, Jena Berlin, the three regrouped and formed Restorations. In this incarnation,
Every band has an inception story, but Dani Buncher and Scott Simons is not your typical tale. The two dated for ten years, and after spending some time enduring a long distance relationship, Buncher realized she might be gay and came out to Simons. After a few hard years of accepting the break up, the
