The Who: Boy Epic (Dallas, TX/ Los Angeles, CA) The What: Perhaps more of a headspace than a physical state of being, Boy Epic has an issue or two to contend with as you can clearly see in his latest video venture/adventure, “Kanye’s In My Head.” But it’s nothing that his cinematic pop noir-ish sound hyped by some clever/creepy/comical/comic book/Nightmare […]
The Who: Smoke Season (Los Angeles, CA) The What: There’s a lot to dig about Gabrielle Wortman and Jason Rosen who make up the electro-soulful duo Smoke Season, not the least of which are their musical stylistic choices when covering time-tested songs with very distinct identities. Last year they tackled The Talking Heads’ punchy “Psycho Killer” and imbued it with so […]
The Who: Leopold and His Fiction (Austin, TX) The What: The new album from Daniel Leopold and his trusty Fiction, Darling Destroyer, is due out on January 27th and, par for the band’s musical course, their latest single, “It’s How I Feel” is an exercise in flagrantly fiery guitar work and uniquely crafted lyrics.

The Who: OSLO (Los Angeles, CA) The What: OSLO is Mattia Borrani, Kerry Wayne James and Gabrial McNair and first made their musical mark in 2005 with their self-titled debut album. After a hiatus during which McNair spent a good chunk of time as a touring member of No Doubt along with touring with Tegan and Sara, The Morning After EP (released on December 2, […]
The Who: Night Talks (Los Angeles, CA) The What: It would appear that all is not particularly well within burgeoning Los Angeles alt-rock band Night Talks…if you were to base your opinion upon singer Soraya Sebghati almost gleefully picking off her bandmates Jacob Butler (guitar) plus brothers Josh (bass) and Cris (drums) Arteaga one by one. Hell hath no fury, much? […]
The Who: Simple Plan (Montreal, Quebec) The What: Often when we present a Video Of The Week we do so with some commentary about the song, the visuals or the artist’s hair. But vocalist Pierre Bouvier from Simple Plan spoke simply about their single “Perfectly Perfect” and it’s…well…perfect. “‘Perfectly Perfect’ is about being in love with someone and seeing only beauty in every […]
