Roppongi’s Ace: americana refreshed
Tampa country-rock group Roppongi’s Ace have once described themselves as “mustache rock”. The distinction of this genre (real or not) is carried with them to every show they play, their moustaches very real and their rock nostalgically alive. Full-throated wails, thumping bass, and a rawness that could make a hock of beef blush are what crowds and the [...]

Meridene is a indie rock quartet hailing from Wisconsin. The band is gearing up to release their sophomore LP, Something Like Blood, through Amble Down Records on September 28th. After releasing their first single, “Gone Baby Gone,” the band is giving away their 2nd single, “Parade of Fools,” in anticipation of the album’s release. The [...]

Somelsewhere follows a tradition of one-man music projects like Sufjan Stevens and Implosion Quintet. Ross Campbell is the man behind the music, a college sophomore who began recording only last year.

Geographer’s “Animal Shapes” Released Today + Remix
We had talked about inditornica band, Geographer, a little while back when they sent us their Animal Shapes EP. We absolutely loved the entire EP and it even became a staple of the iPod for a while. Now the EP has officially been released, through Tricycle Records, and includes a special remix of “Kites” by [...]
Welcome: Fetch the Witches
Fetch the Witches is a four piece alt-rock outfit from the U.K. These Midland natives are about to release their first single also titled “Fetch The Witches.” Their sound made me think of a more conventional Radiohed with off-color, emo-esque vocals that give a very pleasing, but distinct feeling. Definitely feeling it. enjoY! Fetch the [...]
Welcome: Little Beirut
Really digging the video and sound of this Portland indie-pop outfit called Little Beirut. (fact: their name comes from an off-hand slight from former President George H.W. Bush, who called Portland “Little Beirut” after a visit to the city was met with massive protests). After listening to a few tunes on their Myspace, I can [...]
Cover: A B & The Sea – California Gurls
Surf rockers, A B & The Sea, have a crush on Katy Perry’s new song. They like it so much that they even decided to do a cover version of it, the product of which can be heard below. This San Fran band will also be hitting the road at the end of the summer [...]
City and Colour – As Much As I Ever Could
City and Colour doesn’t qualify as a “new” artist, but he’s certainly a new find to my ears. City and Colour is the solo project of Alexisonfire‘s Dallas Green, titled as such because his first name is the name of a city and his last name, a color. City and Colour’s acoustic folk is a [...]

Indie/electronica pop rockers, Fol Chen, have released their latest single, “The Holograms” which comes from their sophomore album, Part II: The New December. Once again this Highland Park group amazes us with their unique electronic programming and indie rock song writing skills. The EP will also be supported by remixes from Teen Daze, Hard Mix, [...]
Concert Review: Zee Avi @ The Knitting Factory
Look, she’s wearing kain batik! Photo Credit: @suedanza. Since I came back to NYC from Malaysia this past spring, Zee Avi was the one artist I’ve been dying to see. This woman has quite literally captivated the hearts and minds of all Malaysians and they are mad proud of her achievements. Her story is quite [...]
The Quick & Easy Boys Set to Release Sophomore LP
The Quick & Easy Boys, comprised of Jimmy Russell on guitar, Sean Badders on bass, and Mike Goetz on drums, are an energetic funk-punk band from Portland, Oregon who create their own brand of rock ‘n’ roll mixing together honky-tonk and a DIY attitude. Formed in 2005 in Eugene, Oregon, the boys moved themselves to [...]
Catchup Wednesday – Atlantic Line
Upon first listening to Atlantic Line, it’s hard to believe they are based on our side of the Atlantic – everything from lead singer Ray Silva’s voice to the execution of the melodies would have you think they were a British rock band. That said, their album Exit to Intro is superb – and available [...]
Introducing Postbox
Singaporean pop-rock band Postbox is my latest find from Southeast Asia. The quintet – all under the age of 20 – released their EP last year and are known for their catchy, light-hearted yet sophisticated tunes. Postbox is young and fun but very capable of writing great music. The future looks quite bright for them [...]
Grand Lake – Spark
Caleb Nichols and Jameson Swanagon, the musical force that along with drummer John Pomeroy is Oakland’s Grand Lake, began their musical collaboration in their friendship. Throughout the 15 years they have known each other, the two have met up and parted ways until finally finding each other again in Oakland to start the band. They [...]
Metro – Attack of the American Girls
So, I got this track from Luxemburg group, Metro. Most of their info is in German, but what I was able to discern through various translations programs is that they are set to release their latest EP, Too Many Lovers. Their sound falls into the indie/pop/electronica genre and is catchy as hell. Good grooves, nice [...]
Introducing Wir sind Helden
In line with the German wave I started yesterday, here’s another one from Deutschland. This one’s from the 2005 album of German band Wir sind Helden (German for “We are Heroes”). Song title: “Nur ein Wort” (“Only one Word”) Much love, Radio Morillo

Piano driven, indie-rock band, Jukebox the Ghost, have shared another track with us called “Empire.” The band just finished doing a whirlwind tour around NYC performing at pianos set-up at different locations around the 5 boroughs for the “Play Me, Im Yours” Art installation– it even got them to be featured in the Wall St [...]
