The Winter Pageant – Waning/Waxing – Review

February 23, 2005

Quiet, textured indie rock. Glockenspiels and long, delicate falsetto notes drip like summer rain. Compared them to The Autumns, Eaves, and Stills.

The Letters Organize – Dead Rhythm Machine – Review

February 23, 2005

Decent jerky, yelpy, chaotic rock band with screaming and thick bass production. A few very catchy choruses slathered in yelp so no one thinks they’re pussies.

The Electric Bible – Chapter 1 – Review

February 23, 2005

Like Large Number, a side project for Ann Shelton of Add N to (X). Anyone into the new wave of electro indie pop electro clash butt munch should listen up.

Sunshine – Moonshower and Razorblades – Review

February 23, 2005

From the Czech Republic, loves new wave (Flock of Seagulls, Gene Loves Jezebel). Smacks of “You Spin Me Right Round, Baby” or whatever by Dead or Alive.

Spitalfield – Stop Doing Bad Things – Review

February 23, 2005

Heartfelt, new style “punk,” tours with Fall Out Boy and Straylight Run. From Chicago, so they’re a little smarter than yer average jerk-off, but not by much.

Snow Machine – Review

February 23, 2005

Touching, simple, piano and guitar-based songs. Some of the piano reminds of Bruce Hornsby. Katharine sounds nice, buy her a flower so she’ll smile.

Single Frame – Body/End/Basement – Review

February 23, 2005

Electronic music for trendy indie kids too lazy to get into real electronic music. Single Frame is evidently one of the bigger names in this watered-down genre.

Mobius Band – City vs Country – Review

February 23, 2005

Five-song EP of subtle, kinda catchy indie pop with some trendy keybords slipped in sometimes. Produced by a guy who’s worked with Rainer Maria and Interpol.
