Judgement Day, the Oakland based trio that NPR described as "a mix of progressive rock and classical with strings played through distortion pedals and other effects", have signed on with the eclectic Bay Area label minus Head Records for a July 31 release of 'Polar Shift'. The band made waves with their 2010 release 'Peacocks/Pink Monsters', a record Time Out Chicago said "not only spans genres but does away with them altogether... the new school of classical-thrash has its poster boys" and was affectionately dubbed "string metal" by fans and critics. Following an album cycle that included tours with ...

Download link is in the original post Sounds like: Team Me, Bendik, Jonas Alaska Song: Dråpe - By Heart [download here ] What's so good? Very often you can tell that you’re going to like a song within the first 10 seconds. This was definitely what happened with Norwegian shoegaze band Dråpe. Their song “By Heart” was first brought to my attention by the blog Sounds Better with Reverb , and has since received multiple plays on my behalf. Unfortunately, my limited Norwegian prevents me from really providing you with a whole lot more detail on the band. But, for those ...

Click image to download full album Song: Pinback - True North "Pinback - True North" What's so good? Black Friday / Record Store Day (same thing) is notably awesome for the singles that many bands release in celebration (or with hope of making some sales). To the pleasure of my ears, Pinback was one such band, releasing a special 7″ titled Information Retrieved A , which is supposed to last us until their full album is released in early 2012. The vinyl pressing was limited to somewhere under 2,000 copies (reports vary), and at this point it appears that there are still ...

San Diego indie rockers Pinback have been away from the music scene for a while but made a special appearance on Record Store Day. They released Side A of their vinyl release, entitled “True North,” and can be heard by heading past the jump. This is the second installment in the Information Retrieved 7″ trilogy, which is distributed through Secretly Canadian. I’m absolutely loving the chill vibe of this song and is a must-listen for any indie fans out there! Full of clean melodies, that keep you entranced in the group’s mellow moods. You can expect Pinback to ...

Che band peculiare, i Pinback! In giro da una dozzina d’anni, hanno fatto almeno tre ottimi dischi, tra il 2001 e il 2007, e il silenzio dall’ultimo Autumn of the Seraphs è stato rotto solamente di recente, grazie alla pubblicazione di un singolo nell’aprile scorso, in occasione del Record Store Day. Come ben saprete i [...]
