Jordan Geiger, songwriter of Minus Story, trumpet player for Shearwater and resident of Lawrence, Kansas, presents his bedroom-pop solo album, Oh, Ramona, under the name “Hospital Ships” on Graveface Records. Released October 21st and written over the course of two years, this album seems to me an almost Andy Warhol look at modern rock and [...]
CD REVIEWDeLeon - DeLeon(JDub Records)Everything old is new again, they say. But "15th Century Spanish indie rock"? That billing for Brooklyn-based band DeLeon is as accurate as it is odd. Singing in English and Ladino -- the traditional tongue of Sephardic Jews -- Daniel Saks and bandmates bring rock and pop influences to the mix and create of traditional folk tunes something familiar yet just ex

STARTING OFF RIGHT: ARTIST JEREMY FISHERI'm sure that Jeremy Fisher has heard many a comparison to great artists of the past. The one that springs to mind the most easily is probably Simon & Garfunkel. This being said, that pair was never this upbeat. He's also somewhat a troubadour like Dylan, but isn't that the requisite comparison? These types of comparisons and similarities come easy when there's such strong evidence of talent. Fisher released the "Goodbye Blue Monday" album last September and it's been a steady drive forward for him ever since.There's the brand new video for the single Cigarette that is just emerging now. It's not an endorsement of nicotine, but rather a tale involving romance, a kind of dependence, infatuation and surrender. This one has it all. Here's the amazi

Luogo comune n.1: avere una bassista femmina. Luogo comune n.2: se oltre ad essere femmina è pure giapponese e gli altri membri del gruppo non lo sono, la credibilità indie-pendente raggiunge valori vertiginosi. Gli Enon possono mettere la crocetta su entrambi i luoghi comuni ma non sono un gruppo di merda. Non fanno solo filastrocche carine come quella del video (vedi qui), non per niente il loro leader è tale John Schmersal che si è fatto le ossa in un gruppo che spaccava negli anni 90, i Brainiac, probabilmente i primi ad usare le tastierine di plastica in un'epoca in cui nell'indie rock andava di moda la formazione solo chitarre e se non avevi solo chitarre eri un ricchione. Dopo aver contribuito a sdoganare la tastiera presso il pubblico eterosessuale (escludendo il modello a tracolla), Schmersal fonda gli Enon, che non sarà un gruppo di importanza fondamentale ma, fregandosene di stili e tendenze, scrive canzoni che ti prendono all'amo, trasformandoti in un boccalone.

School of Fish were started as an acoustic duo in Los Angeles. The pair of Josh Clayton-Felt and Michael Ward were signed to a record deal by Capitol Records in 1990. They appeared together through the region and would later add bass and drums - which helped nail down their trademark sound in time for the band's 1991 release of their self-entitled album. School of FIsh reached as high as #6 on the U.S. charts with the cogent track "Three Strange Days" which some indie rock radio stations still play today. The band followed up the album with a less successful record, "Human Cannonball" and the band ultimately split up. The track that made them famous was a true snapshot of the band and the time.Remembering School of FishDebut Album 1991School Of Fish - Three Strange DaysSchool of Fish signer Josh Clayton-FeltAftermath: Josh Clayton-Felt went on to have a considerable measure of commercial success as a solo artist.

Today, I went to the I COUNT event in Trafalgar Square with a few friends, which is campaining against climate change. At the event were people like Simon Anstell, Miranda Richardson and even RAZORLIGHT played a short set!I had a really good day, but as I was looking around the crowd of about 10, 000 people, I couldn't help but notice how many teenage girls there were there wearing skinny jeans, Converse sneakers and oversized jumpers/sweater dresses. Also, an extraordinary amount of them were dressed 'indie' style, sort of, not really following a fashion trend, but following the 'indie' fashion trend if you get my meaning.So as we were rocking along to RAZORLIGHT and some people called Crocodile Style (a samba-esque band) I was contomplating the whole trend fiasco, and basically, what I was wondering is, can you ever really NOT be following a trend. If you try to dress different and with you own style, you are following the trend of people who have tried to create their own st
