From our sister site TA Live – and sorry for the Groove Armada repetition! ****** In video form again! Bowerbirds – North Carolina's Bowerbirds may seem like pretty sleepy music but they put on a stellar show.

Incredible Queen-borrowed drums, the stunningly electric voice of Saint Saviour, wicked lighting effects – we love this video! Can't wait for Groove Armada's new record (which this is from) to drop in February.
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. Nine out of ten demos I receive have it. The […]
