Peoria, Illinois’ The Forecast have spent the last decade churning out plainspoken midwestern emo and country-tinged rock to relatively little fanfare.  Perhaps that lack of recognition is unsurprising for there is nothing flashy to what they do: no costumes or theatrics (visual or musical), no overt artsy-ness, no craven catering to either the over or underground.  The Forecast specialize in honest, hardworking nose-to-the-grindstone Rock and Roll — and they do it very, very well. If they never rise above cult status, it at least appears that their cult has got their backs: Everybody Left was funded by fan donations via Kickstarter ...

When post-hardcore outfit Planes Mistaken for Stars broke up in 2008, it marked the moment when a thousand beards receded back inside the heads of their hosts. It was a phenomenon unexplained by science, religion, or basic logic. Such was the primal connection between Planes Mistaken for Stars and certain people’s beards; this horrible event had no choice but to occur. But behold! Planes Mistaken for Stars have returned and with them, the beards have returned as well. Feel your face. Does it feel fuzzy? Or, if you had a beard before, does it feel fuzzier? You can thank ...

Dublin six-piece Five Day Forecast headlined the Come for a Cause – Stay for the Music night at the Workman's Club on Wednesday.

Walls are preparing to release a package of 'Coracle' remixes ahead of a new UK tour. Released last year, Walls' second album 'Coracle' was a thing of beauty. Left field electronics tied to slivers of Krautrock, each track seemed able to expand, evolve, progress beyond any barrier placed in their way. Now Walls have prepared a new package of remixes. Not quite an album, too large for an EP the collection will be released on May 28th, with 'Coracle Remixed' set to contain the following tracklisting: 1 Sunporch (Holy Other Remix) 2 Drunken Galleon (Jon Tejada Remix) 3 Sunporch (Perc ...

All of our DJs receive hundreds of CDs a month to consider for airplay. In this regular feature, KCRW DJ Chuck P catalogues his musical bounty from the Post Office each week. It’s heatin’ up! Well, at least in the valley it is. 100 degrees yesterday and the forecast is in the 90s for the foreseeable future. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be… yet. The post office has yielded some goodies this week. New music from some faves and killer new vinyl. Let’s start there, shall we?   1) 7″ vinyl ...

Jay-Z and Beyonce  make some beautiful music together – literally and figuratively. The two mega-artists have joined forces on the music front, delivering their own unique versions of the common love song. “Crazy In Love” ushered in King Bey’s reign, and Hova’s 2003 hit “Bonnie and Clyde” subliminally stamped the beginning of the couple’s budding romance. PHOTOS: Beyonce & Jay-Z Make Snookum Love Faces In NYC   But in 2011 at the MTV Video Music Awards, Jay and Bey created yet another masterpiece. A glowing Beyonce debuted her growing baby bump, and a few months later, Baby Blue was born ...

The Forecast have announced a number of shows this summer in the northeast and midwest. The band is supporting their new album, Everybody Left which came out in April.

My My My!!!  This mix is a absolute slow burning stunner by Dusky.  Makes me wish it was Friday night!!! Damn….it’s only Wednesday. RackNRuin’s track ‘Slow Down’ has been given some joyous treatment here, there is definitely no denying that! Give it some click age below.  I’ve just played it twice already.  Make sure you check out the Flo Jam EP below too. If you are in any of the following locations in the next month you can also catch Dusky live. UPCOMING DJ DATES: Sat 11/5: Juicebox, Notting Hill Arts Club, London Fri 18 ...

The summer music festival outlook just got a bit clearer, as Bumbershoot, Counter.Point, Pygmalion, and CBGB are among the latest events to unveil their lineups. The forecast calls for plenty of Skrillex, but art-rockers Grizzly Bear will also be making a stateside return, while M83, Cloud Nothings, and plenty of others are scheduled for multiple appearances...

The forecast is stormy on Carrie Underwood's fourth album – as usual Cloudless skies don't suit the country super­star – she's most comfortable leaning into a stiff breeze letting a blues growl creep into her phrasing while unleashing songs like "Two Black Cadillacs" (in which a wife and mistress murder...
