02.23.10Have You Met…Communipaw?In my mind all bands that come out of the New Brunswick, New Jersey scene are going to be some flavor of punk or ska. Maybe I watched the Bouncing Souls documentary a few too many times, but somewhere along the way this stereotype was born. That's why I was both surprised and impressed when I heard the self-titled release from Hub City natives, Communipaw - a band that floats effortlessly into the indie and alt-rock genres. With singer/songwriter Brian Bond behind the wheel, Communipaw's debut is easy to love. Full of pop sensibilities and upbeat, sunshiny tunes it's no wonder ...

01.18.10New Release UpdateSpoon - Transference Merge Records / buy! I don't know anyone who doesn't like Austin-based, Britt Daniel backed Spoon. Music lovers tend to come from one of two viewpoints on the foursome - they either absolutely love them or are luke-warmly interested. Either way, I have a feeling their 7th release, Transference, is going to be a crowd-pleaser. MP3: Spoon - "Written In Reverse " Surfer Blood - Afro Coast Kanine / buy! Every year there is a bucket full of over-hyped, Pitchfork-approved, blogged-to-death groups that put out a few good singles and one mediocre album. Surfer ...

01.12.10Have You Met… The Lighthouse and the Whaler?I've always said that the extensive Metroparks system is one of the best things about Cleveland, and now - along with never-ending bike trails, families of deer, and more pavilions than you can count - we can add the birthplace of one of Cleveland's catchiest up-and-coming local bands to the list. The Lighthouse and the Whaler are a collection of strapping Cleveland lads who met in the park one day to "jam" and ended up falling in love with the music they could make. I was introduced to the heartwarming folk stylings of TLATW this Friday when they were featured at ...
