CD Review: Colleen Green – Sock it to Me Drops Tuesday, March 19th

Review by Ellen Eldridge The Descendents’ influence on Colleen Green extends through fuzzy guitars, growling amps and quietly melodious vocals on her full-length Sock it to Me (3/19 Hardly Art Records). She has been described as “long hair and getting high,” by Joe Bernardi, and if that doesn’t speak to the theme and the undercurrent […]

Interview with Matt Bishop of Hey Marseilles playing Vinyl on Friday, March 22

By: Shelby Lum Seattle is dripping with a lot of things. Rain, hipsters, and indie-pop bands to name a few. Hey Marseilles, the indie-pop/indie-folk band out of Seattle is looking to distinguish itself from the masses within the Seattle area. “We kind of have a unique niche because we are able to integrate a diverse […]

CD Review: Intronaut – Habitual Levitations Drops Tuesday, March 19th

Review by Ellen Eldridge The word Intronaut makes me think of a spacesuit-clad band destined only to open for bigger bands, spiraling out musically while standing still on stage. After listening to Habitual Levitations, I feel quite certain that Intronaut will break out of its well-earned slot opening for bands including Tool and Meshuggah. Maybe […]

Interview with St. Lucia; Playing @ Vinyl Tuesday March 19th

Even in the urban wilds of Brooklyn, there may be no one else like Jean-Philip Grobler, aka St. Lucia. Originally from Johannesberg, St. Lucia grew up performing with the Drakensberg Boys Choir School. When the choir wasn’t traveling – they toured Japan, Australia, Europe and more – they stayed in an enclave tucked in the […]

CD Review: Anthrax – Anthems; Drops March 19th

Review by Ellen Eldridge I’ll be the first to admit that my love of Anthrax and Scott Ian stem from Ian’s appearance on The Simpsons more than does it for my indulging in the band’s discography. Not that I ever had anything against Anthrax; I just didn’t get too into any of the albums minus […]

Q&A With Sallie Ford; Playing Smith’s Olde Bar March 18th

By Al Kaufman It’s fair to say that women in rock have to be tough. The women who have made it in this “man’s world”, like Patti Smith, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, and Joan Jett, are all women most guys would not want to meet in a dark alley at 2 a.m. But there’s also […]
