HOT DAY AT THE ZOO @ Nelson Ledges’ Gorry At The Quarry #12 11/1

The foot-stomping, bass-thumping live performances of progressive “Newgrass” string band Hot Day at the Zoo are a far cry from that of your typical bluegrass band. As the best musicians do, HDATZ fuels their energy night in and night out from the growing number of fans at their shows. Although the instrumentation suggests a country vibe, HDATZ blends their diverse musical tastes into organic, honest and catchy tunes worthy of…

Anberlin Interview (Conducted By Jam Shawna)

Interview with Anberlin singer Stephen Christian How are you doing? Doing wonderful. I’m here in San Antonio, Texas on our New Surrender headlining tour. What’s the meaning behind the new album name? Well, New Surrender for me was more of like a motivational speech in two words as best as I could. What it is basically for me is that I think that in everyone’s life there is something that’s…

Alkaline Trio, Friends Like Us, Rufio @ Norfolk, VA – June 30th, 2005 (Jamie)

There’s a certain amount of satisfaction you get from seeing your favorite bands play live that their cds just can’t provide. With that, there is also the chance of disappointment when seeing those bands for the first time. This was the case with the Alkaline Trio and my trip to Virginia. Discovering them in late 2000, I had missed every opportunity to see them until June 2005. Five years of…

Twenty-Eight Pages Lovingly Bound With Twine #7

I don’t know whether or not this review should be silly, since Christoph didn’t really even review me in Xeroxgraphy Debt, but this issue is just too good to screw around on. Beginning with the screenprinted cover of a person in the lotus position, issue 7 details in excruciatingly good narrative about the retreat that Christoph goes on. It is absolutely crazy about what is noteworthy in Christoph’s life, making…

David Archuleta – “Crush”

While the music you would expect me to obsess over wouldn’t usually include a pop ballad, I will state this with pride. I have been following David Archuleta from the moment he sang his first note on American Idol: Season 7. His humble nature, and amazing story about how he goes from the possibility of never singing again to his incredible talent absolutely won me over. His first single with…

Rise Against – “Re-Education (Through Labor)”

Rise Against opens their new single, “Re-Education (Through Labor)” with a hard-hitting intro we have come to expect from the group. It features some exceptionally clean pauses that add depth. The first chorus breaks in with gritty, raw vocals that are not over-powered by the powerful guitars that squeal on in the backdrop. The time change in the chorus adds a dimension to the song that will appear to a…

27 names for tears

– After a long absence from the rolls of the zine reviews, I finally have an update with a zine done by Joolie, of former Scorpi-Oh fame. The zine is very small, meaning that it is automatically cute, and it contains snippets from a number of different songs. Most of the bands are the usual suspects that you would assume would be heavily played by the typical zinester : Sleater-Kinner,…

Trunk Stories

The cover on this fiction anthology zine is odd – there is what is presumably a large tick diving into a trunk, whihch really makes sense when one considers the odd fare that one can find in this issue. Trunk Stories begins with a re-telling of the Medea myth by Kirsten Kaschock (Any Oher Name). The story re-tells the Medea myth but is slightly heavy-handing in the nomenclature – the…

All the shows I went to during my stay at DePauw (at least during the school year) were in Greencastle, Indiana.

Josh promised me a few weeks before that ey would be able to drive me out to the show, which was in Roachdale, Indiana. This town, in the…

Ane Brun – “The Treehouse Song”

If Janis Joplin and Regina Spektor were combined and made to sing over eerie folk tunes, we would have ourselves Ane Brun. Being that I love both aforementioned acts, I definitely appreciate “The Treehouse Song”. While the lyrics are young and fun at times, the minor chords bring a darkness to the table that leave a ton of room to think to. It is good to see that folk music…
