Mono hates Hawthorne Heights.
This is an open letter to their fans, regarding their new album, You are There, out April 11, on Temporary Residence.

Earlier this week, I hitched a ride with my sister up to Arlington, VA. We stopped by Richmond to wish our friend off to save lives, rescue cats, and fight fires in Seattle. Monday, I enjoyed an 11mile bike ride to D.C. and a delicious “green” meal with my long time friend at […]

In 1938, Leadbelly recorded “Bourgeois Blues” to protest the racism he encountered in Washington, D.C.

Yes their band name is long and typically this is a lesson learned by most teens. Never have a long band name because people will never remember and you will end up shortening to something that doesn’t make sense. But it looks to seem as if these guys are in it for the […]

Dropping April 11, on Light in the Attic, The Black Angels‘ new album, Passover.
Ten songs, weighing in just shy of an hour of pure bleak hallucinatory pleasure. These songs are crafted with dense waves of reverb, drone and tortured hedonism. They could be the songs of the desert or the fog after a bottle […]

That is Kori and Jason. They are married and have band called Mates of State. Odds are, you already knew that and you don’t care what I say about their new album, because you’re foaming at the mouth just to hear it.
Bring It Back, will be released on March 21. Until then, I hope […]

I first caught wind of Forget Cassettes, in Oct 2004, when I went to see …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead at 9:30.
I was nervous when I heard there was a two piece opening up for …TOD, but Forget Cassettes held their own. In fact, I was blown away by them. […]

Loose Fur is Glenn Kotche, Jim O’Rouke, and Jeff Tweedy. They have a new record coming out on Drag City, March 21. The record makes you feel pretty good about yourself at 6am, when your holding a circular saw and have paint on your jeans.

Warp, just dropped the new Nightmares On Wax, In A Space Outta Sound and it’s surprisingly fantastic. I have never been to keen on most of the NOW has put out, but this record is all across the board stylistically, ranging from Dub, Hip Hop, Soul and World. A straight up constant head bopper. You’re […]
