Band of the Week: Silk Flowers
Any band that is hand picked by a member of No Age to release an album on his label is gonna get more then its fare share of a look. Silk Flowers is just such a band. Signed to Dean Spurnt’s Post Present Medium label, the band recently came to my attention thanks to Spurnt’s pushing of the group. True he calls them "probably the weirdest band I know" and they definitely...

Taken By Trees does Guns N’ Roses Victoria Bergsman just released one of the most beautiful albums of 2009 so it’s no surprise that this cover of Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child Of Mine’ is equally as stunning. She released the song last year on 7″ vinyl. Bergsman is no stranger to recording covers, her previous band The Concretes recorded excellent...
Darlings - Buzzworthy??? Or Not???
Who: Darlings Location: New York, NY First Heard: Quiet Color Thoughts: Last week The L Magazine named these guys one of NYC’s 8 Bands You Need to Hear, and they were probably the only band that I didn’t know too much about. I had heard a song or two here or there but nothing really latched onto my brain. Well that all changed when I went digging around and started listening to the...
