Thumbnail image for Pygmy Lush “Old Friends” album review – by Marc Woolward December 11, 2011

Marc Woolward writes in from England with a precisely calculated study of Pygmy Lush’s most recent album, “Old Friends.” This isn’t the punk rock I expected. To be quite honest the production is pretty, well, um, lush . Lush layers of alt-Americana. This is a cd that makes sense as the winter draws in, as [...]

Upon my first listen of Des Ark‘s new album I was hooked, instant gratification.  Having never heard the band, I didn’t understand a single word but I just kept listening because I was so captivated.  Lyrics of real meaning eventually began revealing themselves as I played each and every track over and over, until this [...]

Defiance Ohio: Midwestern Minutes Review

Defiance Ohio is a challenging band. How else can I describe a group of musicians that make me feel at times guilty, angry, indignant, inspired, and entertained?  I’m a bleeding heart liberal, who also happens to like pro sports and new shoes.  I’ll certainly do more to make the world a better place…as soon as [...]

Patrick Lee has done it again!

Patrick Lee’s newest album pulled a trick on me. I listened to the sample on his website and purchased the download, expecting to be treated to more of the groovy, electronic, beat-driven tunes that he’s been producing at a prolific rate for years. I got that much: The album (entitled Passerine) builds on Patrick’s distinctive [...]

Tonight I saw two bands I’ve been wanting to see for a while, one I’ve never heard of and another I thought no longer played shows.  Less Than Jake headlined at The Orange Peel in Asheville NC, preceded by three quality opening acts.  The show was well worth the fifteen bucks, even though my too-old-for-a-punk-show [...]

Greenland is Melting, anyone heard of these guys?

Thumbnail image for Greenland is Melting, anyone heard of these guys? January 5, 2011

Holy Bible Study Batman!!! Greenland is Melting is soooo good. Excuse my nasty language, I meant these guys are sooooo amazing. It made me think, recently I saw The Avett Brothers, who were truly amazing themselves. I consider the Avett’s a folk, post-punk, bluegrass band, very enjoyable for kids of many ages. Greenland is Melting is quite the similar genre, and I have to say, if you like the Avetts you will for sure like this folk-punk-trio. It is not conceivable that you would not like them, so just go ahead and believe me.
