Biffy Clyro are an alternative music trio, hailing from Ayrshire in Scotland. Formed in 1995, Simon Neil, James and Ben Johnston originally went by the name of Screwfish, but later changed to the unique Biffy Clyro... for reasons unknown (although many believe it came from a Cliff Richard bio - the "Cliffy Biro"). Biffy have a incredibly devoted fanbase, much praise from their peers, and a reputation for tantalizing live shows. from Sputnik Music

HEALTH have been described as having "artfully crafted noise and raw synth, haunting monotone vocals, and drum skills that are borderline insane". Guardian Unlimited writer, Louis Pattison, chose the Crystal Castles version of "Crimewave" as the pick of the week, describing the song as "melancholy electro-pop built from pixelated synths and depressed vocals that hint at a past programme of busy and sustained serotonin depletion".

For the moment, Joe Pug has it figured out, career if not life: Just write the songs that have to be written, play them for anybody who will listen, tour as if you had no home. Oh, and give your music away. Which isn’t to say he won’t be selling his debut full-length offering, Messenger ( Released 2/16/2010 on Lightning Rod). But free is how he came to make it, more or less. It worked like this, for Joe Pug anyhow: The day before his senior year as a playwright student at the...

June 1, 2010
"Although they hail from London, the members of Alberta Cross have clearly spent their lives soaking up the sounds of American rock music. Whether with thunderous blues guitar or more subdued, rootsy Americana sounds, they produce songs that sound at once contemporary and knowledgeable of the past. Given their decidedly American sound, it's fitting that Alberta Cross recently relocated to Brooklyn. The band wasn't there for long, however, before it de-camped to Austin for the recording...

Arbouretum first began in late 2002 as a vehicle for singer/guitarist David Heumann's songwriting.

The sweeping, atmospheric textures of the first record soon gave way to a more visceral, elemental approach....

MMOSS is "straight up classic pysch rock. The formula is simple and familiar – Big Muff fuzz guitars, tambourine rhythm, liberal use of flute, light tremolo, and sugary vocal harmonies. This group channels the spirit of Love and The Zombies so well that they’re impossible not to love. Now that the BJM’s Anton Newcombe is no longer living on our planet, I could see artists like Strangers Family Band and Mmoss picking up that torch. They’ve offered their entire...

A couple of years back Eric San (aka Kid Koala) and Dylan J. Frombach (aka Dynomite D) were approached to soundtrack a new documentary feature film that was in production. Koala was already well known for his uncanny turntable manipulation, whilst Dylan had remixed Money Mark and collaborated with the Beastie Boys, amongst others. The duo worked for a long time on the psych rock-influenced score, only for the filming to collapse and any release to be canned. Although the film may never see...
