Frog Eyes – Paul’s Tomb: A Triumph
Carey Mercer is Frog Eyes. I say this not to shadow the efforts of his band mates, including his wife on drums. I say it because he is attractive, perhaps not in the physical sense, but because most everything he does is as tactile as it is interesting. It is...
The Antlers @ The Casbah 4-28-10 – Photos
The Antlers‘ latest release, Hospice was #6 on our Pinpoint Music 2009 Best of List. The Casbah is the perfect place for The Antlers brand of rock, it’s dark, romantic, and very artsy. For a three-piece band The Antlers put out a very thick sound. Yet that sound is never...

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings – I Learned The Hard Way
On the first listen to I Learned The Hard Way, by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, I was not overwhelmed. The energy I’ve come to expect from the Dap Kings was absent, and it didn’t grab my attention. That was exactly the problem, I had it playing as background...

Streetlight Manifesto – 99 Songs of Revolution: Volume I

A proper release not appearing since 2007’s Somewhere in the Between, Streetlight returns with Volume I of a daunting eight full-length albums undertaking of covers. 99 Songs of Revolution will span four bands,...
Slang Chickens – Slang Chickens
It’s a self defense mechanism. It keeps the hacks away, while simultaneously rewarding those who invest their time. Persevere; it’s just a decoy to ward off the masses who habitually usurp music just to excrete it moments later. It’s a self imposed trial by fire. Slang Chickens aren’t looking to...
