Jens (left) seated with Erlend Oye
I think I first got turned onto Jens music via Swedes Please. Another fine example of an artist whose music I may not have heard if it was not for some of great music blogs out there. Jens morphs from bombastic pop star to Nick Drake-like folkie with ease, […]

The unreleased album Those Weren’t The Days is the missing link between the rural tone of Faithless Street and the more produced/polished sound of the band’s follow-up Stranger’s Almanac. I believe the album can now be found on various torrent sites, but I will post the remainder in future posts. A must have for […]

One of my favorite rock-n-roll troubadours, Daniel Hutchens, is on the road playing a few acoustic dates paired with guitarist Eric Martinez.

“We play songs about books!”
I first heard these guys last summer via Matt at You Ain’t No Picasso. They have been a somewhat guilty pleasure ever since. Their schtick? Basically they crib the whole Harry Potter thing, from their wardrobe down to their song lyrics. Ridicuous, yes. Entertaining, absolutely. They tour the East coast […]

Update: Music Is Not Dead interviewed these guys..read it here…
I ignored this band/album for a long time. Turns out that was my mistake, as both are well worth your time. Describing their “sound”….so here is where I’m coming from — having never read any promotional info on the band, etc. — sounds like: early Stones/Brian […]
