So I was mailing back my Netflix pick (The Postman Always Rings Twice) last week and I couldn’t help but think Film Noir is so damn cool. With all the Femme Fatales, crooked cops and spies running around it puts you in the mood to be mysterious. That’s what I enjoy about the Los Angeles based band The Spies. They get that cool and mystery go a long way, probably because two of the band…
I haven’t been impressed by a good band in quite a while. I keep encountering bands that either have no talent, no taste, or no vision so it makes writing about anything quite impossible. But just when I’m about to give up, something special comes along…. Antonio Paul. I love so many things about this band I don’t even know where to begin. First off, the songs are catchy as hell, especially “City Dreams” but…
This is a band worth checking out especially all you musicians out there. Magnetico is a band packed to the brim with talent. First of all you have Chris Cornell/Vertical Horizon’s bass player and P!nk/Ozomatl’s drummer, creating a pretty solid foundation. The cherry on top is Rafael Moreira, lead guitarist for the House Band for CBS’s Rock Star: INXS and Rock Star: Supernova and touring guitarist for Paul Stanley (KISS), P!nk, Don Felder (The Eagles),…
Good Morning Milo is an alternative rock six-piece from San Diego, who may sound like other bands your hear on mainstream radio, but they’re indie, so they’re still way cool. I’ll be the first to confess that I am a fan of their Panic at the Disco-esque sound (you’ll hear it most on their song “Engaged”), even though I’m in no way a fan of Panic at the Disco mostly because their fans annoy me….
Fresh off last year’s Warped Tour, Disalto just released their second full-length album One Beacon In The Strand. The band, whose name means “by leaps” in Italian, blends influences like A Perfect Circle, Switchfoot, Smashing Pumpkins, At the Drive-In and Radiohead to produce a punk/emo/early nineties alternative rock sound. The members of the band each hold their own and work hard to complement each other. This is not a band that is competing with one…
So there is this band called Youth Sounds that I’ve been seeing popping up on a few blogs I frequent that I finally decided to pay attention to. They didn’t catch my attention at first, but after I saw them featured for the third time, I thought I’d give them a chance. I listened to one of their songs and I was instantly hooked by their stylish indie sound.
