Whisker-A-NoGo ’ALBUM OF THE WEEK’ contributor: Mike McGill from INDIANS.

Ready, aaaaaaaaaand, go!
* * *

MM: I’m reviewing ___el ten eleven_(album name)_ by  __el ten eleven_(band name)__.  

[How did you hear about the band/what was your first impression?]

MM: They sound like a mix between tortoise & the whitest boy alive__had a beautiful trippy baby.
Check out their official website here


MM: My favorite thing about the band is their writing. Super creative and full enough to be a 4 piece with the plethora of sound they create with a few looper pedals, some delay and octave decided. The kicker is, it’s only two dudes! A double necked bass/guitar and a drummer with a live kit and a keyboard on the side. The first self titled record is great from start to finish. One of my favorites in recent history, hands down. 

MM: On a scale from 1-10:
Vocals: n/a (instrumental band:)
Musicianship: 10
Lyrics: n/a
Production: 9
Creativity: 10
Lasting Value: 10
Final Verdict: 10/10

I’d like to thank INDIANS for being rad.. and particularly Mike McGill for his contribution.  Like the band on Facebook and enjoy more music and videos!!

West Palm Beach, Florida-based indie rockers LAVOLA have had my mind spinning around all morning with their tasteful blend of energetic pop-rock with spacey, experimental and ambient alternatives.  

Their sound reminds me of a [solid] combination of Minus the Bear, Sufjan Stevens, and at certain times in their 6-track EP Leaving Paris, they even reminded me of At The Drive-In.

The band is offering their new EP for download on their Bandcamp page!  I think that calls for a reason to like the band on Facebook and follow the band on Twitter.

My rating:  8.9/10

*(Hopefully I’ll be able to arrange an interview with the band.. stay tuned for that!)

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet your TWO new favorite bands:

28 NORTH is from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  In my opinion, they sound like a really solid mix of 70’s and 90’s rock.  Sonically imagine The Allman Brothers-meets-Kings of Leon.

28 North have currently re-located to Los Angeles, where they’re working on their new album with Grammy Award-winning Producer David Kershenbaum.

Los Angeles-based, high-energy rock quartet Oh No Not Stereo have been pioneering LA’s independent ‘D.I.Y.’ music scene since 2003.  Originally founded as a duo by Skyler Nielsen and Mykul Lee, the bands legacy continues to grow to this day, after 5 self-released albums, and over half a million miles of touring under their belt.

My first impression of this Texas-based band, was that of unconventional awesomeness. I saw this video and was immediately intrigued to hear more.  Coining the phrase ‘Texas Celtic Rock’, this father-son based quartet is bound to leave a smile on your face.  

(Not to mention, their music makes me want to DRINK!)

 

Cleghorn will be playing multiple festivals this summer, across the country.  Check out their tour dates here.

My rating: 7.8/10

Pale Fox Records presents:  EP by London-based electro-pop-rock trio: BalloonMan.  Listen to the four new tracks on soundcloud here.

Auteurs / Velvet Underground / Sonic Youth inspired North Londoners, BalloonMan eschew hype in favour of gigging solidly and perfecting their craft so they already blow most better-known bands out of the water.

If you prefer watching videos, there are short films for each of the EP songs here:
