The Postelles will support The Kooks on the first leg of the U.K. band’s upcoming North American tour, beginning with a show at the Trocadero in Philadelphia on November 15th and including two sold-out nights at Webster Hall in New York City (11/16, 17). Prior to The Kooks dates, The Postelles will be the main supporting act on The Wombats’ entire U.S. tour, which launches with a CMJ show at…
While it is pretty easy to hear Rob Thomas’ music if you listen to the radio for any length of time, I feel that a great number of listeners have not had the chance to see Thomas in a live format. For those individuals that were not wono over by eir stereo recordings, picking up a copy of Live At Red Rocks in Blu-Ray is a must. The sheer amount…
Rachael Sage sounds like Tori Amos during “Alright, OK”. The whispered-out vocals and the bouncing of the composition through a number of styles ties eir to Amos’s early work, before the latter petered out (during “Strange Little Girls” and all that followed). The freshness of Sage during the early going of “The Blistering Sun” means a few things: that individuals will have a great role model since both Tori and…
The story of “Barlande” began on a fair summer evening in Tercé, near the town of Poitiers, at the first of the InFiné Workshops in the Normandoux Quarry. Amidst the white chalk walls, a singular duo – flamenca guitar and cello – took the stage for a stringed family dialogue. A fitting analogy as the story of this record is, first and foremost, that of a father, Pedro Soler and…

Hailing from Michigan, Brent James & the Contraband are working hard to bring their music to the masses. Currently on the road in support of their debut CD MOMENT OF SILENCE, produced by Grammy Award winning producer Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Egypt Central, Taddy Porter, Since October) and out now. Brent recently sat down with Listen In.org to talk about music and life hear it here: http://listenin.org/interviews/archive/artists/James+And+The+Contraband_2100_+Brent/default.aspx Brent explains A…
The emotive content that is present on Ghosts Upon The Earth is simply stunning; I believe that this album covers the extend of human feelings, compassion, and pain better than any album that we have heard so far this year. While Let There Be can be understood as an introduction for the types of styles and approaches that Michael will ultimately use over the course of Ghosts Upon The Earth,…
Starting out “In The Key of D” with forceful guitars and Claudio-like guitars, Safety in Number provide three clear paths for listeners: they can either listen to the vocals, the guitars, or the bass which are all viciously forcing their way into the heads of listeners during “You’ll Find A Way”. Moving into a much more oft-heard style of guitar riffs and vocal delivery in “Lusic”, Safety in Numbers deviate…
After a whirlwind seven date U.S. run earlier this month, Britain’s Viva Brother announce additional tour dates kicking off October 16th at Philadelphia, PA’s Johnny Brenda’s. The select fall tour marks the forth visit to North America for the four young lads from Slough (the setting for the British version of The Office): guitarist/vocalist Lee Newell, guitarist Sam Jackson, bassist Josh Ward, and drummer Frank Colucci. The August 2nd release…
The Nintendo 3DS has been a console that has had only a small supply of games that have been worth the additional price of the console. However, Puzzler Mind Gym 3D is a title that will have players coming back for more. This is due to the fact that the sheer amount of mini-games that are present here will have a players’ brain tied in knots in a variety of…
From the beginning of “Mozartia”, there are two distinct strains of music that Sacriversum creates. There is a very melodic type of black metal that is dominant, and there is a classical type of music (along the style of whom the album was named) that struggles for dominance. The styles clash messily during the opening bars of “Born To Be The Best”, but Sacriversum quickly rights their ship. The inclusion…

While there are only a few topical fat-burning products that are currently available, I feel that these are largely sham products that have no net effect. Dermatherm-Target is a product that looks to succeed where a great many similar products have failed. For those that are not familiar with it, it is a topical cream that ensures fat loss at whichever site one uses it on. The presence of Raspberry…
Sabrosa Purr really purveys a style of hyper-emotional dream-pop that is as bipolar as it is impressive. “By The Water” starts with a guitar line that does not shine, but rapidly moves into a psychedelic, trippy style that also gives away to a distorted, screamed-out type of rock that has much more to do with Marilyn Manson than Sixpence None The Richer. The continual shifting through genres present during “By…
After a brief hiatus, YC the Cynic offers a fresh, new track, inspired by Seinfeld, “Hello, Newman!” As always, the Bronx Bomber never fails to impress with his lyrical prowess and clever flow. This is a track that didn’t make the cut on YC’s forthcoming project, GNK.

“Every time I’d pick up a guitar, I’d get frustrated,” said Sarah Jaffe said about having writer’s block, which she said came from an awareness of writing for her audience. So instead of returning to the frustration that was her guitar, she went to a pawn shop and picked up a bass and a drum set. Although Jaffe wasn’t familiar with the instruments, practicing and recording with them gave her…
I find what Bearfoot does on their American Story to be tremendously interesting. This means that the style of music that they play is tied to 19th and early 20th century America, but has been updated to really become germane to listeners in the current era. Bearfoot thus creates in the 10 tracks on American Story a title that will be appreciated by fans of different stripes, touching upon roads…
The vocals that Ryan starts out “From A Late Night High-Rise” are painful. “Follow The Leader” sounds as if Ryan has smoke twenty packs of cigarettes a day for fifty years. I might be exaggerating, but the contrast that eir vocals show against the slightly electronic instrumentation on the track is a little irking. The track would be stronger if Ryan did not force the vocals quite as much. While…
