An excellent return to form by the all powerful Steve Albini, producer of countless milestone albums, this time with his own band Shellac, which has been silent since 2000’s 1000 Hurts. It’s been well worth the wait as “Excellent Italian Greyhound” is aesthetically and musically sublime.
A few days ago I read this at Can [...]

Today is the day for unconventional indie bandnames!

Sorry No Ferrari’s The Get Down Syndrome is instrumental math-rock with complex riffs & sign changes, just the way we like our rock (and our math!). They’re a relatively young band from the USA (where else?) and these 2 songs are from their second EP released on StickFigure [...]

I had read about Raleigh, NC’s Annuals on last years best of lists, but didn’t have the time to check them out since now. Out on Ace Fu Records Annuals is a 6 piece indie rock band, with soft but powerful music. I’m not really a huge fan of this US indie/folk music but the [...]

She taps her guitar happily

Well, the hipster festival SXSW has begun. The rise of SXSW from a relatively unknown festival (at least for me) 2 years ago and becoming a huge worldwide acknowledged event in 2 years is pretty interesting.

I’m flat out sure that Field Music will be one of the bands you’ll be hearing a lot in 2007. In fact it’s become quite the sensation till now as I’m definitely not the first to feature them. I’ve been enjoying “Tones of Town“, their second effort on Memphis Industries, thanks to a review on [...]

The Death Of Anna Karina
Here’s a new collaboration between undomondo and Rockit, an italian magazine/online community. They approached me for a project called they’re starting, called LEGIONESTRANIERA, which is basically non-Italians reviewing Italian indie bands. The first band I reviewed is the Bolognese post-hardcore band “The Death of Anna Karina“. You should check my review [...]
