Live Review: Heavy Trash, Tiger! Tiger! @ The EARL, November 19

By Jennifer Gibson I don’t know how old Jon Spencer is, but I do know he started heading up the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion when I was in middle school, which means he’s got to be early- to mid-40s, at least. So it’s no small feat that he’s still able to rake in the crowds, […]

CD Review: Steph Jones — Gravity

Steph Jones Gravity Independent Release  By Jennifer Gibson If Janelle Monae has been described as the female version of Prince or Andre 3000 (and she has), then Steph Jones can easily be interpreted as the male version of Janelle Monae.

Music Man–The Nasal Tone

Music Man–The Nasal Tone

I partially blame Christopher Carrabba (aka Dashboard Confessional). He had a large hand in starting the whole thing that has since become entirely too common and even predictable in so much of the new music that’s coming out these days, especially among the scene crowd.
