Weinland’s “Breaks In The Sun” Follow Up
So I first mentioned the new Weinland album here and indicated it was one of the albums to look forward to. Now that it has been released as of last week, I can say, it is well worth it. The album has been spinning for almost 2 months around here and it is a great…

If You Haven’t Heard – Tobacco Pat
Tobacco Pat is the subject of this episode of “If You Haven’t Heard” and once again, you need to hear – but I guess that is the point of the series. Well now that we are on subject, I was recently introduced to Tobacco Pat (and have previously mentioned him HERE) and now I hope…

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…

The Woodlands emerge with incredible debut album!
The grey of dripping dusk sounds forth an invitation to innocence. It extends its grey hand with a slight tremble and a quiet recognition of the disparity between its own chill and the warmth of the impending guest. Innocence reciprocates like a slow glance around the doorway that leads to a dim room, holding promises…

I told you I would post again on Garrett Pierce.
I am not going to lie to you, I posted a couple of weekends ago on Garrett Pierce (here) and I was so impressed that I immediately went and purchased his debut album “Like A Moth”. Another winner. I then discovered it was up on IODA, so this is perfect, I am posting on Mr.…

This Is Deer Country – Daylily King EP
So yes, you think “Michigan once again”. You think “maybe I started to post too much about Michigan”. Then you notice Michigan starts hanging around more than it used to. Then Michigan asks to borrow money and accepts deliveries on your behalf. Then it happens…Michigan asks you to help it move and wants to store…

The Wheat Pool – Country Rock from the City of Champions
So last night I went out. Yes, I went out to mingle among the people, to feel the night air in my lungs, to hear the buzz of a crowded club and pounding of a kick drum. Yes, I enjoyed live music here in Calgary (rare for me, as I find not too many “known”…

Things You Find When Not Looking – Frightened Rabbit
Just a quick find that I apparently was oblivious to. My story goes while looking into some “off the beaten track” songs from Windmill (mentioned previously here) as I am looking forward to his new album, I came across an Australian compilation from “The Lifted Brow”. I discovered via the website that TLB is more…

From One Albertan to Another, Well Kinda – The RAA.
Not that I am getting on board the Rural Alberta Advantage late, but I am getting on board late. I have been listening for about 6 months now, but haven’t posted prior – maybe I felt with myself being in Alberta made it kind of hokey. Well hokey or not, The RAA deserve a play…

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…

Jeniferever – Spring Tides
I am not going to tell you that I have been a fan for years and I am excited for the new release “Spring Tides” from this Swedish foursome, but in fact I now am excited having just started listening. After a few spins to the lead off promo track, I think I am going…

“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…
