Review by Ellen Eldridge Just as the cover sticker label warns, Tenacious D’s Rize of the Fenix is most certainly not for children, nor religious people, but it is meant for people with a juvenile sense of humor.

By Jhoni Jackson It’s always a struggle for a fledgling band to find sure footing, much less overcome multiple member changes and a year-long hiatus. But Atlanta’s Knaves Grave seems to have defeated the odds, even managing to snag a slew of covetable spots opening for seasoned bands. Without having released a thing save for […]
By Jhoni Jackson It’s been a little more than a year since Bass Drum of Death dropped GB City, the Mississippi-bred band’s debut full-length on Fat Possum.

“The San Fran phenom Grass Widow,” as the New Yorker dubs this post-punk band, “inspires as its pastoral harmonies float effortlessly over trellises of spindly guitars.” Grass Widow—Hannah Lew (bass, vocals), Raven Mahon (guitar, vocals), and Lillian Maring, (drums, vocals)—write their hypnotic layered melodies collaboratively. Their haunting songs, rich in metaphor and couched in reference […]

Review by Ellen Eldridge Neil Young brings more than the familiar rasp of his voice to the first release in nine years; Americana captures Young’s interpretations like a history lesson in folk music. He lays down the roots of Americana culture and represents a strong collection of songs written as long ago as the 1800s […]
