 The Soft Pack Pack a Post-Punk WallopBy
Dryw Keltz
It’s no revelation and it certainly ain’t no ancient Chinese secret. It is raw rock and roll with a modern twist. It’s smart garage rock that’s an angrier take on the classic Modern Lovers sound. It’s arty enough to appeal to the Velvet Underground fans and raw enough to reel in the punks.  Proclamation to Ban the Word that Starts with an “H” and Rhymes with DipsterBy
Dryw Keltz
Over the past ten years a plague has spread across this fine country. It is a sickness driven by blogs, websites, music magazines, listeners, fans, and musicians alike… It is the constant use of the “H-word” to describe music fans who enjoy bands such as Grizzly Bear, Vampire Weekend, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, and their ilk.  OK Go: Of the Blue Colour of the SkyBy
Dryw Keltz
At times Of the Blue Colour of the Sky sounds more like a Prince album than anything OK Go has done in the past, and it’s quite an obvious attempt to shake free from their power-pop roots.

Join us as we tinker with some of the key moments in the history of indie rock and detail what could have been had what actually happened never happened at all.  Times New Viking: Born Again RevisitedBy
Dryw Keltz
Want a nice little hint for knowing an album’s gonna sound a bit rough when you pop it in for a listen? It resides in a genre of music called “Shitgaze.” Shitgaze isn’t anything new, though. It is just lo-fi in the digital age.  The Flaming Lips Travel to the Dark Side of the MoonBy
Dryw Keltz
In the world of rock and roll it takes mas cajones to attempt to remake an album with as much stature as Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon. You are without a doubt going to piss off a legion of purists, a collection of individuals who treat the songs as if they are the audio equivalent of the sacred slabs of stone emblazoned with the ten commandments. |
