Right, lets look local for a second. When pilfering the British south coast, we stumbled upon the vibrations of something a little unusual; I for one think these guys offer something original and for once, they are a band not following the familiar pop culture tide coming our way.. These guys offer nothing but a [...]

Rock music with an alt-country twist seems to be all the rage these days in America, but some of it is starting to sound a bit redundant. Good thing there’s Port O’Brien. One wouldn’t expect the string-laden, funky vocal-powered stylings of Port O’Brien emerging from somewhere like Oakland, California, but the five member band (even [...]

Well, I haven’t had a good rant about mainstream music for a while. So here it is.. I am going to look at the UK charts and talk about what I will admit is hot this summer…. There’s a sound I’ve been meaning to bring up for a while; Katy Perry… Radio1 have been raving [...]

For example, The Killers (although I think their music is okay) are not a band that keeps it real. The lead singer sings in a quasi-British accent [...]

Howdy doody folks! This is the first of my weekly Wednesday contributions to Eyemaylisten. Every week, I’ll pick an American band that I *love love love* and think you should know about. Genres are not of much importance, and most of the bands will be relatively unknown. Hopefully you guys will trust my taste! But [...]
