PREMIERE: Band Of Skulls - Impossible (Live At The Troubadour)
(Photo: Ryan Morris) Having existed for more than half a century, Hollywood venue The Troubadour is one steeped in rock myth. This 12-minute live cut of "Impossible" is the sound of Band Of Skulls trying to throw that off, and they succeed thanks to the truth in Russell Marsden’s throat and the sheer noise in their attack. The UK trio will be issuing new single "I Know...
Are Krazie Old Men the Future of Indie Music?
I was looking at photos of ACL, one of the world’s most indie music festivals with headliners like Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Kings of Leon, and Yea Ya Yeahs. I couldn’t help but notice the new trend of ‘old krazie looking dudes’ having indie bands. It seems like the indie music playing field has leveled, and it no longer matters ‘what u look like.’ I...
Which indie artists will be selected as ‘The Best _____ of the Year’?
As yall know from the popular website calendar.blogspot.com, the year 2k9 only has 2 months left. The annual music cycle is ‘officially over’ and will be dormant until the first major indie album release in 2k10. This means ‘we’ as an altosphere need 2 do our best to reflect on the year that we just lived, and try 2 analyze which album/artist/mp3 we want to be the...
Lykke Li + Kings Of Leon = MNSTRM?

She kinda reminds me of a sexie old woman/cougar or something like that. Does she remind yall of an artistic cougar in this vid? (this is what people are basically saying when they compare her 2 Stevie Nicks.) N e ways, the song “Knocked...

Only By The Night
The Krak
Venue: The No.19 Bus Teaser: Theres a band on a bus. Once the bus leaves California in Norfolk, the band is armed. When it arrives in California, USA - the band goes off. What do you do? What do you do? Er… we’ll send Chris Hornby to investigate, thankyou. Pull quote 2: “How on earth do you manage to play a guitar whilst stood up on a bus that’s swirling a...
Lost and Found
Band name: THE DEXATEENS Label: No label Teaser: Dave is floored by the sweet southern rock genius of The Dexateens. What’s more, you can download their latest album for free for a limited time… Pull quote 2: This album is a fucking joy and it’s free. First para: I’m a big fan of the Dexateens, so it’s no suprise that Lost and...
Because of the Times
Band name: Kings of Leon Label: Columbia Teaser: In this review, Dave Hood refers to the new Kings Of Leon album by its acronym, which is ‘Bott’. Strangely appropriate, as it’s a big pile of arse. Plus there’s a feisty comment from ‘Minster’ just added, who uses personal insults and KoL’s commercial success to defend the album. Does anyone...
