More NEW music from Frightened Rabbit, a video, a tour

December 11, 2012 by morningaftershow

Frightened-Rabbit-Pedestrian-Verse

Scotland’s modern emo band Frightened Rabbit continue to ramp up in anticipation of their next record Pedestrian Verse (February 2013).

After the record comes out, they’ll travel to North America for a series of shows.  The closest to me in Victoria would be Seattle on March 8th at Showbox.  I’ve always wanted to see FR, maybe an adventure is in order.

Today’s communication form the band pointed me in the direction for a new music video for the song “The Woodpile.”

Scott from the band says, “The video was shot in Queens, New York on what was pretty much our only day off on that tour. As it was preceded by a tremendous night in NY, there was just a touch of concealer used that day, though I like to think that ‘dishevelled tired guy’ has become my signature look. There is a bunch of our pals in the video from such illustrious bands as Oxford Collapse, Right On Dynamite, Bad Veins, Little Kicks and Olympic Swimmers.”

Go with yourself.

LOCAL :: The Archers NEED YOU

December 10, 2012 by morningaftershow

Archers

Middle class bad boys and Victoria’s favourite mandolin playing folksters The Archers are getting to work on their next record.  And they have a Indiegogo!

They are hoping to raise $7,000…whatever you can do would be super duper.

What can we expect?

and more videos starring Jon Williams?  Dare to dream is what I always say.

Man, I wish I wasn’t so broke… the guitar lessons package, or the house concert package would both be huge.

Go with yourself. I’d say buy a coupon book, but use the $25 on The Archers.

Check out Eliza and the Bear

December 10, 2012 by morningaftershow

eliza and the bear
The other day I was broadcasting from the Victoria clothing store HTO.  They had a sweet bear hat that I was compelled to buy.

Now a band with “bear” in the title?  Tell me more.

Eliza and the Bear from London will be releasing their single “Upon The North” on February 25th.  It’ll be backed with “The Southern Wild.” (Oh I see what you’re doing here)

KickKickSnare says, “This latest release is merely the formal crescendo of a musical collective of four now peaking into their success.”

Sounds like he’s singing about holidays as a boy on adventure somewhere natural… but also maybe more like a metaphor for being a moody teenager or kid.  Maybe wanting to go somewhere natural.

Its a jaunty tune.  Big repetitive chorus.  Dig it.

You might also enjoy the song “Brother’s Boat.”

Go with yourself.  Maybe buy a coupon book.

Wife/Husband teams are pretty much the cutest: Shovels & Rope

December 6, 2012 by morningaftershow

Shovels and Rope Cover 0712

Give you one more band to check out from Paste’s Top 20 New Bands that have a similar flavour to First Aid Kit.  Also compared to The Civil Wars.

Husband and wife team, Shovels & Rope.  Talking on Paste, Michael Hearst talks about working with his wife.

“It was such an efficient way for us to travel (…) We are relatively newlywed. It didn’t seem like a good idea for us to tour as hard as it would require and be apart all the time. We sound good together and like to do this. At the expense of our ego projects, abandoning that and putting all of our efforts together seemed like the better choice. We love playing music together, otherwise we wouldn’t really waste our time.”

Swedish Americana, check out First Aid Kit

December 6, 2012 by morningaftershow

first-aid-kit-lions-roar

The internet is pretty cool.  You can be a Swedish teenager growing up in a suburb of Stockholm… and you can make classic Americana tunes.  And those songs can spread around the world to the people that love it.

First Aid Kit are sisters who first rose into public conscience with their cover of a Fleet Foxes song.  Reading Paste’s Top 20 New Artists… they’re on the list.  They also show up on Paste’s Top 50 records of the year.

Gosh darn their song “Emmylou” is so pretty.

New gaze :: The New Division, Hints, and Milezo & The Noize

December 6, 2012 by morningaftershow

W138

A trio of band mining the sounds of an alternative 80s.  We begin with LA’s The New Division.  Terms like “cult favourites” and “new wave” get thrown around when reading the hype.

From LA we travel to Austin, Texas. The group is called Milezo & The Noize.  Miles describes the sound as Dream Pop or shoe gaze.

The journey completes itself in Brooklyn.  The band is called Hints.  They draw parallels to The Church or Echo & The Bunnymen… and yup, I get that.

Traveling to Montreal to get down to UBT

December 5, 2012 by morningaftershow

UBT
Mining the past for a modern rock hit is very much in vogue currently.  On the radio we hear lots of bands going down the blues road.  70s rock & roll…. occasionally a classic Motown or R&B style.  Montreal’s UBT (once called Uncle Bad Touch…. I wonder why they changed their name?) take on a 60s sound.

When I rolled into the radio station today, Dylan was having a listen to the band.

The trio does an interesting cover of the 1978 Black Sabbath single “Never Say Die.”  The song is famous for being the last single that Ozzy Osbourne was part of in Sabbath before embarking on his solo career.

I also like the first song on their ep It Takes Money to Drink Money.

Go with yourself.
