Judging by the ever-changing combinations of letters on his website, Travis Morrison has apparently retired from music. Honestly, the whole thing seems a bit odd… perhaps the part where he says he’s relaxing in Brooklyn is a bit of a tip off… Same with the link merely to his Facebook page, a nice gesture, but … [Read more…]
Ouch. Seriously, look at this thing: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4XOAxAbUAw] And I’m not just referring to the guys breaking glass on different parts of their bodies. It’s kinda painful to just watch the entire thing… Oh well, on with the work…
Sorry for the lack of consistent updates… I’m laying a little low on the blog as I’m working on a little project and getting ready for a little vacation. In the meantime, check out this brief interview with a fellow I spoke to on the phone today (don’t mind the mall emo of the band … [Read more…]
Check out my review of Cymbals Eat Guitars at Great Scott on Bostonist tomorrow/today. As a brief aside, Joe (the singer) has a singing style not unlike many frontman from many a mid-90s emo band. I’ll leave it at that. Stumble your way onto Bostonist tomorrow if you’re more interested in the band…
Please pardon me for the lack of updates after the whirlwind of SDRE-related posts. I took the weekend off and have been doing a little research for something that will crop up in a few weeks. Until then, a video clue. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlTE5j7aEf0]
Yep. And this one’s a doozy: Clearly an incorrect rumor from the get go. Big ups to Aaron at Unlikely Words for catching this one. Dude’s been working quite a bit to track down information concerning the slightly-guarded/unknown state of Thorns of Life and their debut album. But seriously – who thought this would happen? … [Read more…]
Check out Bostonist tomorrow/today for a review of the recent Team Robespierre gig at the Middle East Upstairs. I’ll leave it at that – check out the piece for what I thought (and you might be able to pick up on my not-so-subtle hint of a title for this post.)
The Jealous Sound have confirmed a rumor I tracked down a little while ago: they are in fact touring with Sunny Day Real Estate and sharing bass players, one Nate Mendel. Whoa, is Mendel trying to one-up his bandmate Dave Grohl on the how-many-bands-can-I-perform-in-at-one-time? So far, Mendel’s got Foo Fighters, SDRE, and The Jealous Sound… … [Read more…]
You can say that again Brian! Our old Twitter buddy dropped the hint back in March about the potential reunion, which I promptly picked up and got a screen shot. One month later and BAM, instant SDRE reunion meme… possibly fueled by the combination of Marco Collins’ tweets and blip.fm entries, Travis Hay’s bit on … [Read more…]
