Ep. 5: Daniel Harris

Screw you, folk-rock; Daniel Harris is taking no prisoners.  His self-proclaimed "anti-folk" album, 32 bits isn't really 8 bits better, promises to dismantle the overly-litteral alliterative axioms of classic folk music.  It's stripped down orchestration that sounds HUGE (especially through headphones).  It's catchy; you'll find yourself humming the tunes in the shower and, in doing so, cursing the ground that Joni Mitchell paved through history.

This album can be found at Daniel's bandcamp page ($7 CD, $5 digital download).

You can find his visual art here.

Listen to his band, The Doctors Fox, here.

Ep. 4: Karyn Patridge

Karyn Patridge is a singer/songwriter from Portland, Oregon.  Originally from Oswego, NY, Karyn has migrated her beautiful voice and guitar picking sensibilities to the cafes and bars of the northwest.

Karyn blends folk, country, blues, and soul into a concoction synthesized by her own introspection.  Her voice takes her shy personality and beats you over the head with it.   Undeniably powerful, she can draw you in with a sweet, soft melody and then bowl you over with a thunderous roar.

More of Karyn's music can be found here.  If you're in Portland, check out her reverbnation.com site to see if she's performing!

Ep. 3: Rusted Hero

Every now and then a band comes along that isn't afraid to resurrect the ghost of rock and roll.  Big bands like Queens of the Stone Age aren't afraid to assume the wide-legged rock-stance, wrap the mic cable around their fist, swirl around a drum stick or two and cut loose.  Rarely, however, do we see an underground band take on the same attitude and succeed.  Rusted Hero is that rarity.  

Rusted Hero is bringing rock & roll back to the bars and clubs of New York City.  When they crank their amps to 11, all the 110lb hipster boys in girl jeans go scrambling for their binky.  While the boys make out with each other in the corner, Rusted Hero is aurally fucking their girlfriends from the stage.  Run, all you scenester fashionistas; run, and take your sarcastic use of the sampler with you.  All your Moog are belong to us!

Ep. 1: Derrick Hart

Episode 1 features Derrick Hart's new album, The Shock You Experience At The Sudden Recollection Of The Moment You Were Conceived.

Derrick's been working on this masterpiece for three years and is only selling it for $10 ($12 with shipping).  Buy it here.

What I love about this album is that there are 20 tracks and not a single one of them is filler.  Derrick sends beautiful melodies careening into sometimes sardonic lyrics, blasting out a wave of pleasingly pernicious sound particles from deep inside a distant star.  He's spiritually connected to your aural soul and you don't even know it yet.
