While a member of Blur, multi-instrumentalist Graham Coxon released four solo albums, mixing garage rock, folk and heavy riffs with the band’s trademark power pop. Since his departure from Blur in 2002, Coxon has made three more records. The latest is grounded in a passion for English folk music, heavily influenced by Bert Jansch, and [...]

"The three split songwriting and vocal duty, each bringing to the table diverse and eclectic styles, influences, and impressive vocal range...The result is a blossoming blend of classic and garage rock, catchy pop hooks, and bass lines which twist and groove through an unquantifiable list of influences and genres." - Bridging the Atlantic Blog “The Balconies are a power popping trio...

RIAA 's new album of mashups and cut-ups is some of the weirdest, wackiest stuff that they've recorded in the last year or two. Spike Jones, Roger Roger, old kiddie records, and rude sound effects mix with Neutral Milk Hotel, James Blunt and the soundtracks to "Psycho" and “Eraserhead” ; '60s garage rock and Latin boogaloo collide with modern funky electro beatz. Whimsical animal...

Yet another amazing pop band from Brooklyn mixing lo-fi indie with a new take on the 60s girl group sound. ‘Never Enough’ is elemental rock’n’roll in the Modern Lovers tradition, with echoey voices and spooky effects giving it an atmospheric horror feel. ‘Every Night’ adds a primitive, Pebbles-y garage-rock layer, Erin scratching spectacular metallic sparks from...

"It Ain't Gonna Save Me" from the album Watch Me Fall 2009 iTunes As far as persona goes, this middle-school dropout from Memphis is as misanthropic and explosive as Iggy at his peak. But, as negative, bellicose, piss-drinking fuckups go, he certainly does work hard. Since the 1990s, he's issued a steady stream of music under a confusing array of auspices, including the Reatards, Lost Sounds,...

For all the merits of garage rock, it's not a genre known for its subtlety. Maybe that's why Holly Golightly no longer considers herself part of the scene. As a member of Thee Headcoatees and an associate of Billy Childish, Golightly made her name in the mid '90s with a string of quick-and...

Life would be strange if you couldn’t use the word “the”. People would stare at you with pitying bewilderment, like you were Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man. “How much is steak?” “What is time?” “I like band”. Perhaps most vexing of all, you wouldn’t be able to tell people the difference between The Brakes, a Philadelphia funk band, and Brakes,...

Where Free Energy is a pretty straightforward glam/garage rock band, Hockey Night fell a little more into the angular, post-Pavement vibe that swept across the country in the late '90s early '00s.

Times New Viking with Hallelujah The Hills and The Axemen - Great Scott (Boston, MA) - Saturday, November 21 Newly signed to Matador and veterans of Siltbreeze, the Columbus OH-based trio brought their stripped down to the raw throbbing nerve garage blast to Boston. Imagine a songbook based on the pure distillation of "Louie, Louie" that was boiled down to a sticky black lump, with a dash...

Reigning Sound definitely do reign. Greg Cartwright (of the seminal garage rock band, The Oblivians ) is backed by the most stoic looking men this side of Johnny Cash. Men in head-to-toe black. Dave Amels, the band's organ player has the most incredible comb-over that moral eyes could ever dare to gaze upon. It's like something out of a British Comedy Hour from the psychedelic 60s. I got a bit too...

I saw two truly great shows this weekend: Intelligence on Friday at Comet and King Khan & BBQ last night at Chop. Intelligence killed it as always—despite the loss of other guitar-player guy # 23 (or something like that). Khan and Sultan also dun quite good, and there were way too many cute garage rock girls there. Anyone have better anecdotes than me? (It wouldn't be much of a stretch.)...
