In 2008, the boys of Jonny Rumble put their collective frustrations into Almost Dead, their third full-length release. In blasting an eloquent and full-throttled critique of our misguided modern social and political state, the album served up the bitter rebellion and social conscience of early punk culture with a wickedly melodic edge. It was “a finger pointing, blame laying manifesto,” according to vocalist/guitarist Brian Webb.
Now, after several well-received interim singles (not to mention a string of bad luck that included hurricanes, hazardous jobs, jail, stolen vans, burglaries, broken bones, busted teeth and severe burns), Jonny Rumble is back with the a new full-length titled JR, an explosive mix of power pop, garage rock and alt-country. The album features the monster single “BRZRKR,” the liltingly psychedelic “Stumped” and the beautiful piano and pedal steel-driven “Time.” Rounding out Jonny Rumble’s line-up are Patrick O’Connor (vocals, keys, guitar), Jeremy Pryor (vocals, bass) and Seth Thomas (vocals, drums). JR the album was released on vinyl as a limited edition on June 15, 2010.

The entire album of SMOKE FISH scores with draft, superb lyrics and plenty of variety in interaction with Post Punk, Pop and modern Rock. However, what makes “Life Ain’t Pink” so fascinating is the keen sense of great melodies and the courage to something special. The strength of SMOKE FISH’s debut album not only lies in its influence of those Electronic-, Mariachi-, African and Oriental tunes, but also in the fact that it sounds as if these fusions belong together.
The opening track “Wake Up” is the perfect soundtrack for the beginning of a surreal trip at sunrise. Following the different chapters of this album, the “travelling” listener blinks into the warm shining sun, then finds himself standing in the rain without any umbrella. He meets catchy songs between PIXIES and POP (“Mary Prankster”), experience roller coaster rides between cool cleanparts and supreme riffs (“Cigarettes & Family”), african rhythms on the crest of ‘New Wave Of New Wave’ (“My Eyes”) and furious Funk Fusion of Mariachi and urban beats (“Tango With Jesus”).
Uptempo tracks, such as “Hey! Talk!” and “Manifest Destiny”, convince with much drive, “Juvenile” and “Strange Identity Effect” are chary ballads with a lot of emotion. The single “Insane Inside” with its firm Rock-Refrain, Beach-Boys-Bridge and Chanson-like verses reminds of the best days of BLUR and PULP.

We are proud to present a new artist on 23 seconds;
IF THERE IS SOMETHING from Gothenburg, Sweden. Ten songs of rough-edge electro-rock with elements of both punk, indie and pop. Vocals ringing out like it was the last day on earth. Hard electronic basslines and heavy drummachines pumping into the chest. Still with the catchy pop melodies intact.

Tom and Liza are the Wind Whistles and they live together in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada. As an indie folk duo, they both sing and both play acoustic instruments (guitar,bass). Sometimes they play alone and sometimes they bring friends, more times not. They think they sound like a cross of Lemonheads and Violent Femmes while people tell them they sound like a cross of the Decemberists and the Moldy Peaches. Beginning in the spring of 2006, they’ve done the usual artist thing: demo, radio, festivals, tours, friends and lots and lots of shows. In 2007, they have released their first full length “window sills” and try to spread it around as much as they can. That’s why they have decided to re-release their 12-track LP under a creative commons license. Aaahh-records, your new favourite netlabel for absolutely charming music, is very proud to have “window sills” their first release and will do its best to promote the album. In April, Tom and Liza have quit their jobs and headed across Canada with the the Greenbelt Collective, then they will head alone to Europe in May, June, July, August, and back across North America in September and October starting from the East Coast. Annually the Wind Whistles organize the Annually the Wind Whistles organize the celebrated local Beanstalk Folk Festival; a festival in which the ‘Folk’ is a loose term for some of their favourite artists that aren’t rock or too loud. The Wind Whistles are notorious do-it-yourselfers and love to meet generous and creative people that make beautiful things happen. So, please do not hesitate to get in touch with them.

Andy Wagner must love bad weather. His third record, Those Who Forgive, is a complex meteorolgy of bedroom tsunamis, drunk midnight thunder and unexpected frosts. These songs take a kind of delight, that is neither cynical nor ironic, in reporting the daily sadnesses we endure, the sadnesses that remind us we are, in fact, truly alive. Recorded in a week with Matt Dewine at
Pieholden Studios in Rantoul, IL, it is only appropriate that this record was made in tornado country. This time out, Wagner whipped up a band, tracked almost everything live, and whirl-winded, on the strength of Ben Clarke’s bass and Matt Martin’s drums, this collection of songs into being. Songs like “Sending My Love” that range from blustery rock to quiet drizzled ballads in “My Blue Sea,” from gale force to a storm’s eye respite; all story-told with detailed immediacy. Like a field reporter at a hurricane site, Wagner makes poetic the particulars of being lashed by the elements.

“Steve Eck plays well arranged, dark rock that has tastes of rockabilly, blues, and zydeco. On Saturday night at Carrollton Station the local singer-songwriter was joined by an accordionist, a double bass player, and a drummer. Eck stuck to his black electric guitar. Though the songs were consistently quality, the best part about the show was Eck’s voice. He got real emotive with his vocal chords, almost like he was exorcising demons.” – Jason Sange

This album was about putting everything on the table. It was about not thinking about anything, but feeling. To get rid of a whole past that doesn’t suit the present anymore. It was about not judging any ideas that come through as good or bad, but to accept them and to go with the flow of creativity. To not worry about perfection in terms of music or life because the truth is that the only perfection is to fully accept that we are imperfect, and that in itself is the perfect way to be.

Horse Year plays like a funeral mass, each track an ethereally-charged dirge that draws us in. “Weak in the Knees” churns to life amid a settling fog, regretful, accompanied by a church organ send-off. “Don’t worry ‘bout me / You can still carry on / ‘Cause I’ll be dead when you’re gone,” Wagner opines, though you might imagine this as the message of a man looking back from the next world. “Nothing to Defend” juxtaposes soaring guitar riffs and whiskey bar piano, the shadow of a gunfighter who’s fallen a step slow, riding headlong into the rain in search of the next sunset.
These images lend an undeniable weight and immediacy to the album, but it’s the spectacularly bone-chilling, otherworldly reverberation of the pedal steel that stays with me every time I hear it. It’s there in the ending wash on the otherwise-amiable cowboy ballad “This World Can Be So Cruel”, and it’s revisited on the album’s final number, “One Key”. Here it resonates beside a wind chime lullaby as we drift along the river Styx, nestled beneath the stars and blissfully at peace with the horrors and the beauty of the world. – Justin Kownacki
