A Trip Through The Slowcoustic Inbox
**pictured above is the entrance to Slowcoustic Artist Submission offices Thought I would do a overview of some recent submissions to the blog. I do get a fair amount, not as much as others (how many sad bastards can there be, really?) and they deserve some play. Below are a few selections of bands, artists…

Have a Good Night Series – Great Music, Great Cause
There is still good in the world and this is a shining example of it. The “Have A Good Night” Series has been around for a couple of years and is currently on it’s 4th compilation in support of Junior Solidarity. With translation from the French site, I am not quite sure if the compilations…

“Make it up to the bands I don’t cover” Mixtape
So in thinking to myself the other day, I started to put too much weight behind thinking I was an “indie” music blogger. I was thinking about the fact that I do consider myself an “indie” blogger more or less, if in fact that term is still relevant this day (for example, when is “indie…

Rewind Friday’s Outtake
So I forgot an artist I meant to put on Friday’s post yesterday – The Most Serene Republic. My apologies to any Canadian music frenzy that ensued due to this obvious omission (and I had 3 other “Arts & Crafts” bands!!). Oh well, to make it up, here are three little diddies from the Milton,…

Rewind Friday – Canadian Edition
So in a lame attempt to put a post out, I give you a mish mash of Canadian artists over the past few years. Some newer than others….some better than others…overall a pretty decent Friday I must say. Now, don’t get all “these are simply the mainstream indie-Canadian bands” on me…I didn’t say it was…

husband&wife – “Dark Dark Woods”
I have previously posted on husband&wife (yes, there is no space in the band name – it is like its one word) and I have been advised that today (Jan. 29th) there will be an appearance from h&w on the indie hit-maker Daytrotter. This is exciting, I think the new album (due on Feb. 24th…

The Ian McGlynn Soundtrack
Ian McGlynn’s music can be described as “lullaby like” and even full of hooks that embrace “warmth” and “waltz” and often has a “patented soaring chorus”. After listening I can assure you that all of these things are very true, while also being extremely catchy at the same time. McGlynn caught my ear in the…

Slowcoustic Recommends Being a Passenger
New blogger co-hort “Adrift On Deep Water” has sent me a recommendation of a band he posted on a while back an I have to agree with him. Clever lyrically, decent tunes and bleak themes, but with a delivery that makes you feel like you are okay with it. It doesn’t all have “sound” like…

Friday Quickies – Jive White Boy’s “Knives That Stab Your Face”
Other than the title of this post sounding wrong or completely wrong and even possibly disturbingly wrong – here we are with a quick Friday post with that great title! I have to apologize to the JWB himself that this is not a full treatment of Slowcoustic love, but I will make it up and…
