Dont Tell Sophie

By • Apr 1st, 2009

Dont Tell Sophie are the latest addition to my indie pop fetish. Two CD’s and a handful of EP’s since 2005 and frankly they just keep getting better. “Sand To Glass” is the current release (they are recording a new CD at the moment) and it’s pretty cool. But my indecision not withstanding, I think [...]



Awesome New Republic

By • Mar 29th, 2009

Awesome New Republic have been playing around Miami since 2004., hopping between art galleries, warehouses, clubs, movie theatres, and the like. Over the years, they developed a dedicated fan-base in South Florida and picked up an international following as well. They released the obligatory full length CD,  followed that up with a  twelve inch single [...]



The Temper Trap

By • Mar 28th, 2009

The Temper Trap fired up in 2006, released an Ep, got tons of airplay on Triple J and managed to be completely overlooked by me. BUT all that changed when I heard “Science Of Fear” over at www.myspace.com/thetempertrap, it’s a great piece of really commercial pop in the early U2, Coldplay, Radiohead vein. Lots of [...]



The Good Fight

By • Mar 23rd, 2009

The Good Fight are a band from Coleraine in Northern Ireland (Jools and I have been there). It’s four dudes that are playing a highly commercial (and radio friendly -if there are still any radio stations left out there playing new music) brand of pop-rock. The big sell is the vocals,  this band is fairly [...]

Two Lone Swordsmen are British DJ and producer Andrew Weatherall and studio engineer Keith Tenniswood. They fired up in the mid Ninetie’s and have over the years have played with a multitude of styles, from electro to post-punk to idm (intelligent dance music?). To give you an idea of just how much stuff they have [...]



Oops, we broke it.

By • Mar 20th, 2009

Hi, “Oops, we broke it” isn’t the name of a band, although I will be the first to admit that it would be a good one. No, “Oops, we broke it” is what we did. Our database fell over and it has taken a while to get it all back where it belongs. Business will [...]



Brock Zeman – The Train In Me

By • Mar 16th, 2009

Brock Zeman is another one of those artists that I have no idea how I found him, I am just glad I did. His song “The Train In Me” off his album “$100 DIFFERENCE” is a gem. It sounds like John Mellencamp and Steve Earle should have written it. Brock is another American story teller [...]
