SILVERCLUB
NO APPLICATION EP
HIDDEN PONY RECORDS
FEATURED TRACK » “No Application”
Silverclub began as a project based around the studio experiments of Duncan Edward Jones, who previously performed as underground techno artist DNCN before moving on to pursue a wider range of genres. The band formed when Jones put together some demos on equipment borrowed from British singer/songwriter Jim Noir, who instructed him to “go and record some songs,” but not [...]
Dueto the financial meltdown in Italy and the devaluation of the Euro in contrast to the U.S. Dollar the Gay for Johnny Depp band have decided to call it quits.
Statement from the band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK5-k9HOom8
When reflecting on the underlying aspects of the oncoming “bear” market the Gays have considered it best to allow earlier investments to reach a more mature growth potential rather than continue to ride the emotional waves that seem to both rally and frighten most investors. Not that [...]
It would be very difficult for anything that Smokey Bastard do to be better than their phenomenal name, and fortunately they’ve negotiated that particular pothole by having their album be significantly more fun than several barrels full of particularly whimsical monkeys. As a genre, folk-punk can only really go two ways, it can either be deadly serious cultural fight music (Dropkick Murphy’s, New Model Army) or it can be an excuse for a an awful lot of very drunk folk, [...]
Sometimes, you never know you need something until you get it. This is incredibly evident with The Good The Bad. I never thought that I’d be an utter sucker for amazingly sleazy, Ennio Morricone indebted, instrumental flamenco surf’n’roll, from Denmark of all places, until From 018 To 033 hurtled into my email inbox and knocked me completely for six with its copper bottomed genius. Made up of Copenhagen natives Adam Olsson and Johan Lei Gellet on lead guitar and drums [...]
I won’t lie to you, I was all set to hate this single. I’d just reviewed two other records by bands that were fiercely unique, almost to the point of self sabotage, and I was all set to write this one off as the token “sensitive” song by a whiny American rock band, slagging off some poor ex because they had the audacity to leave their sorry arse. Well I’ve just had a tasty supper of my own words because, [...]
An unfortunate event hangs over the life of Phil Spector. Who knew when he started producing the songs on this seven album box set that one day he would go on to work with Starsailor? Listening to these songs now, can we see signs of this tragic end?
The CDs in this collection are presented in mini-replica LP sleeves. They are the first six original albums from the Philles record label (1962-1964), featuring the Crystals, the Ronettes, and Bob B. Soxx [...]
Why do young people have so much energy? This Poughkeepsie-five piece have more than most. Thankfully they have channelled it into perfectly pleasant pop punk. Single Rumor Mill hurtles along at one hundred miles an hour, with an engaging mix of female and male vocals. Taylor Jardine and Jordan Eckes have polished voices, which complement each other and keep things interesting throughout the album.
The band were discovered in 2009, when their MySpace was hacked. A music website reported the vandalism, [...]
Despite having a single person’s name Syd Arthur are in fact a band. The Canterbury quartet’s latest single is Ode to the Summer which sees the band mix classic rock riffs, jazz and blues.
There is a certain unsettled-ness about listen to this track as the guitar riffs skip and jump all over the place but instead of falling into an incomprehensible mess it is all underpinned by a great melody that stops the jarring nature of the backing track from [...]
Blue Sky at Night by Weird Shapes is not what you expect it to be. From the start with it arpeggiated acoustic riff circling round that underpins the whole track sound like a set up to something that could easily descend into to saccharine-happy-indie-pop-from-the-mid-90′s.
Instead it leads you to a more sparse and atmospheric place. The acoustic guitar still whirling the background only now you have a drum beat occasionally that reverberates and disappears into the ether. The vocals follow the [...]
San Francisco’s electronic noise post-punks The Soft Moon are set to release Total Decay EP their follow up their self-titles debut and given the cold, dark nature of their music what beter day to release it than on Halloween.
The four piece group originally started life as the solo project of band leader Luis Vasquez in 2009 and after releasing the band previous efforts as a solo artist he has incorporated the group into this record and to make the live [...]
Earth Prayer are a classic rock style aimed at the kind of people who read Classic Rock and they are about to release their debut album Nine Days.
Firstly I would like to say that fundamentally I don’t have anything against Classic Rock magazine I have even been known to read it occasion and rather enjoy it. My problem with it is it seems to think music is dead and everything after 1977 is a waste of time and it continually [...]
Finally out on Moshi Moshi is Welcome to Condale, first album for Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey, aka Summer Camp. After two years of beautiful singles, Welcome To Condale matches the high expectations of critics and audience.
For anyone that religiously followed Summer Camp from the first steps in the Indie-world, Welcome To Condale is no surprise, gathering songs that are well-known already, from the opening Better Off With You to the bouncing Ghost Train. That said, un-wrapping Welcome To Condale [...]
Say goodbye to the upbeat atmospheres of Mazes, it’s Halloween after all, and enter the cold cave of Horror Tour. Colorado-based band Moon Duo releases a new EP in the name of new explorations into Kraut landscapes and VU’s follies.Let’s start with the opening Horror Tour.
This is the only track with a vocal support, sounding like a jam session between David Bowie and John Cale. The beauty of Horror Tour is in the capacity of Moon Duo of recreating hypnotic [...]
