[Event Recap] Beach Goth 4
In times as peculiar as those spent those spent at Beach Goth, a fleeting sense of predictability should come as no surprise. Fueled by an eclectic mash of sandy-toed beach rockers, funk phenoms, hip-hop icons, and Pauly Shore... the latest installment served as the most sizable and chaotic to date...

It's probably about time we mention that we're throwing a couple of CMJ parties this year. Or, better yet a little mini-festival we've entitled 'Unimpressed Fest'. Yeah, whatever...
Read MoreCrepes: Size Of Your Town
Blowing in from Melbourne (as many of my current favorites are) while also cozying up with Deaf Ambitions, Crepes lay down tunes as soft and breezy as they come. Their latest effort has the boys taking a seat in front of the old black-and-whites for the steadily strolling piano ballad titled, "Size Of Your Town"...

The number of artists that have reached the same level in the music business as Thom Yorke is incredibly low. I’m not referring to the top, but the level above the top which is reached when those at the top have achieved total musical freedom and are jumping as high as they can out of sheer joy...

It’s been a long 4 years since the Veils released their last full studio album, Sun Gangs. Apart from having left Rough Trade Records, and releasing a slightly disjointed EP under their own record label back in 2011, they have been very quiet...
Read More[PLAYLIST] First City Festival
We are kinda a little bit (ok a lotta bit) excited to be heading up to Monterey this weekend for First City Festival. It's only the festival's first year and it has already managed to rack up an amazing line-up. We're personally hoping the Monterey fairgrounds will be a small area, because unless either of us manage to clone ourselves or obtain some sort of super powers within the next 48 hours, there is no way we're going to manage to see everyone we want to see, and trust me, that's almost everyone...

Hello! I'm Charlie, British as they come, avid fan of Willow Wood Music and about to launch into my first ever blog post on a band who I firmly believe is one of the best bands to come out of the UK in the last year (bold statement, I know...) ...
Read More[PLAYLIST] Ojai
Do you wonder what Willow Wood does on the weekends? A few weekends ago we took a road trip to the Ojai mountains. We made friends, discovered new music, were visited by the ghost of Jerry Garcia's past [in the form of our ranger] and drove past Johnny Cash's old house; all in all the WW camping trip was a success. Our adventure was accompanied by the following songs. Listen, enjoy and become inspired for your next trip.
