Former New York native, Naomi Greenwald’s Composite EP just came out yesterday! Her style of indie rock is slightly reminiscent Nick Drake in an alluring mysterious type of vibe. Her soft crooning vocals are incredibly captivating in her single, “So We Try” and they probably will still be when she sings them live at Mercury Lounge next Thursday. Catch her while she’s in New York! Tour Dates: Connect: |

Obligatory post because the 14 year old me would hate me if I didn’t. Not sure if I like this because I really like the word “phoenix” or because I can understand Patrick Stump’s vocals better this time around. Nah, I like it. Connect: |
| mp3: A House For Lions: “(You Don’t Wanna) Wait For Me” |
“(You Don’t Wanna) Wait For Me” seems so simple and carefree but its complexities are so clearly evident. There’s something beautiful about that. The ability to take the complex and showcase it in an angelic and effortless way. A House For Lions does exactly that. They combine elements of 90s alternative, folk, and country to create a rock genre love child. Their raw sound captivates listeners as Daniel Norman croons simultaneously simple and smart lyrics along with the band’s cohesive and swaying instrumentals. What sounds like alternative rock also sounds like the grandchild of a bluegrass rocker. The country twang meshes well with the sound A House For Lions creates, and creates radiantly. I can’t stop listening and you won’t be able to either. A House for Lions is Daniel Norman, Mike Nissen, Eric McCann, Joe Luisi. Tour Dates: Connect: |

Cold War Kid’s fourth album, Dear Miss Lonely Hearts, will be coming out on April 2, 2013 via Downtown Records. Their new song, “Loner Phase” has the classic CWK essence but it clearly demonstrates a new approach to their sound that we’ll be able to hear when the album comes out. It’s awesome. Give it a listen. Cold War Kids is Matthew Aveiro, Nathan Willett, Dann Gallucci and Matt Maust. Tour Dates: Connect: |
| In My Opinion: What the Nell? Earrings |
![]() In my humble opinion, these earrings are awesome. If anyone has incredibly spectacular memory, a few years ago we did a feature on What the Nell? designer, Nell Johnson. I recently ordered these banana earrings from her which I’ve wanted for years mainly because they reminded me of the The Velvet Underground & Nico album cover. I got them within days of the order and they’re absolutely lovely! Nell was even nice enough to include a pair of eggplant earrings as well. Connect: |
