Q and Not U
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Q and Not U was a Washington, D.C. post-hardcore band from 1998-2005, signed with Dischord Records. Their sound, with fractured guitar leads and disorganized and inventive percussion, was a direct tribute to DC post-hardcore forefathers like Fugazi and Rites of Spring, but added noti... Read More

Love Among The Mannequins - Love Among The M ..I think we can all agree that since the split of Meet Me In St. Louis back in 2008, there’s been a very large British post-hardcore hole in our hearts. There hasn’t been a band since that have been able to cook up the same dish of utter pandemonium a record like Variations on Swing was packed with. But what happens if the man who fronted it, joins a new band and puts out a record on the label who delivered them to us in the first place? Then folks, you get the self-titled debut from Tobias Hayes ...The 40515 November 2011

Friday Five: Songs From YesteryearThis post might come off to you as super depressing and/or super sentimental, so I apologize and/or you’re welcome. There have been many bands who’ve come and gone without much notice, but then there were those bands that announced their break up and you weeped for a few days straight with their best album on repeat (No? Just me? Oh…). You know this is an ominous fact that’s bound to happen to most of your favorite bands (unless they’re from the 60s/70s; the drugs were different then). It’s something that we all ...indie shuffle5 November 2011

Grooms – PromClick image to download full album Sounds like: Q And Not U, Sonic Youth, Minus the Bear "Grooms - Tiger Trees" What's so good? It’s so refreshing to come upon a newer band who is taking their music in a different (and slightly unknown) direction. Grooms is a noise-rock band based out of Brooklyn. I, for one, love both Grooms albums, but their sophomore release, Prom , is filled with wonky twists and angsty turns that have the ability to intrigue you only five seconds into a song. It’s obvious that they do what they want with their musical ...indie shuffle21 July 2011

3 Songs: On Repeat1. Title Tracks - "All Tricks" (Title Tracks is the project of John Davis formerly of Q And Not U and Georgie James. His second album In Blank , out now on The Ernest Jenning Record Co., again showcases his knack for a super-catchy power-pop hook filtered through the spirit of punk rock, but he has put together a band this time instead of playing every part himself and mixed the album in mono for an authentic sound. The album also features a great cover of the Flamin’ Groovies song, “I Can’t Hide.”) http://titletracksdc.blogspot.com/ Download: http://www.ernestjenning ...Atlas and the Anchor20 April 2011

Music Review: Zomes - Earth GridZomes Earth Grid [Thrill Jockey; 2011] by Collin Anderson Rating: Inside the ambient-pop hyphen, Another Green World was the face that launched a thousand “Big Ship”s. There are a million things to love about Brian Eno’s 1975 masterpiece, but in the case of that single three-minute track bobbing in the middle of its sea, there’s only, it seems, one thing to love: the song. The construction being equivalent to the song. The premise itself being equivalent to the song. The heft of “The Big Ship” was that it took a basic progression of towering triads — I / IV ...Tiny Mix Tapes19 April 2011
