1. RichBecker I See Hawks In L.A.

    We don't review much country, but every now and again someone turns our ears for a listen. I See Hawks In L.A. did something sharp with New Kind of Lonely. It's their first fan-backed all-acoustic album (except for a bit of electric bass). http://bit.ly/yCQu6P

  3. RichBecker Girl In A Coma

    Girl In A Coma is intensely diverse, from fuzziness to growlers, in its new album Exits & All The Rest. All in all, the San Antonio trio stays true to its roots while giving everyone a wild ride. http://bit.ly/sGFe3j

  4. RichBecker J Mascis

    J Mascis completes Several Shades of Why with the release of his new single, a cover of Edie Brickell's song Circle. While it doesn't eclipse the original, Mascis wears the song like second skin. It fits. http://bit.ly/rYXCEC

  5. RichBecker Carina Round

    The new single, The Last Time, brings Round full circle to her early years, with her duality intact. She's beautiful. She's tortured. http://bit.ly/sH9x40

  6. RichBecker Screeching Weasel

    One of the most underrated punk bands in the 1990s, Screeching Weasel seemed like it had a promising comeback earlier this year. And then, it looked like they were done after some ugliness at SXSW. Ben Weasel isn't done yet. His new EP rocks. http://bit.ly/sqwgaw

  7. RichBecker The Barr Brothers

    Their new video features the work of Stephen Bircher, an artist that uses the bones of dead animals and other repurposed materials to make art. http://bit.ly/roZhH6

  8. RichBecker Especially for headbangers.

    f there is one band that no one expected to see break out with a new album this year, it was Chimaira. The metalcore band from Cleveland that barely survived a shakeup last year when three members — Andols Herrick (drums), Jim Lamarca (bass), Chris Spicuzza (keys) — left the band for very…

    Yesterday our yearly Sail festival here in Karlskrona, Sweden, kicked off. Originally the Sail festival was all about big boats. However lately it has become more about live music, food and beer tent parties than sail boats.

  10. RichBecker The more I listen to The Dangerous Summer, the more I like them.

    Something happened over the last five years as the band began to tour, cut new albums, record acoustic covers, and build their confidence. http://bit.ly/n3PcHe

  11. RichBecker Juliana Hatfield

    With a new album coming out in August, this is great time to revisit her book When I Grow Up. http://bit.ly/p7BBBI

  12. RichBecker Oax

    Giorgio Angelini's new alternative project Oax showcases his relentless talent as an indie singer/songwriter/guitarist. The Distance is a near-perfect debut EP. http://bit.ly/rs5AKQ

    RichBecker

    RichBecker Thanks. Gotta love Oax.

    We found a new artist from Brighton, U.K. that you probably never heard of. All of his music can be downloaded free. http://bit.ly/lRnTf7

    scribadiva H "But I'm reluctant to be too specific with meanings; people can generate their own attachments." He's definitely an artist. I love this quote:too specific makes an argument for the intent of the artist and narrows the experience of the viewer/listener/reader. Great article! When I get online now, I check out at least one article/band.

  15. RichBecker I love The Kills, but...

    ... the new album is only good when it could have been great. There are some great songs to be had though, including Future Starts Slow (free download links for awhile). http://bit.ly/hYMSFC

  16. RichBecker Lykke Li is one of the most talented singers out.

    My friend recently reviewed her new album Wounded Rhymes. http://bit.ly/hOcEcn The video is one he dug up from last year to demonstrate her emotional power. Four of the new tracks are similar.

  17. RichBecker Tristen

    The most impressive cut from her new album is Baby Drugs, which retains the addictive roughness in Gaspadarek's voice. Using the simple composition as a foundation and allowing her textured melodies to drive the song. http://bit.ly/gSMAKd

  18. RichBecker Bobby Long breaks in with a folk rock debut.

    Bobby Long might currently reside in New York City, but the 24-year-old singer/songwriter from a small town in Wessex is still trying to find an audience in the States. That's about to change. http://bit.ly/e2SCtd
