1 Liner: The Canvas Waiting - In Search Of Beginnings

Passion and energy run deep and steadily throughout the entire album. The indie rock style is one of both upbeat night driving songs as well as reflective and somber songs. ‘In Search Of Beginnings’ is an album you should not let go unheard.

1 Liner: Weezer - Self Titled (Red Album)

You know you’ve been doing this awhile when you start running out of colors for your album cover. The red album is interesting, because in some ways it scratches so many of the itches that fans have had but in some ways it just misses the mark. Chances are this will be a hit or miss for most people.

Daily Rec: 5/26

The A-Sides never really got the credit they should have with their release on Vagrant Records. Give them a spin.

The Snake The Cross Go Daytrotter

Here are some Daytrotter session recordings from the complex indie band The Snake The Cross The Crown. There are 4 songs to stream of download.

Full Review: The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

The Hold Steady have managed to take a somewhat unpopular and usually underground genre and style into the spotlight which is crowded with one too many smooth singers. ‘Stay Positive’ is a progression for the band and a direction full of potential.

Daily Rec: 5/25

Give Anthem In a listen is smooth an steady indie rock interests you.

Daily Rec: 5/24

The Muxtape site recently had an issue and deleted half of our songs. Let us know which relatively unknown artist/band you’d like to see a song on there from.

1 Liner: The Mirror Stage - Ten Thousand Tongues

Despite some minor flaws, The Mirror Stage has created a very compelling album that dives into a slightly darker indie rock. ‘Ten Thousand Tongues’ uses some light electronic elements to enhance the sound which fits well with the unique fragmented singing style.

Daily Rec: 5/23

The day is not over yet, you still have time to check out Styrofoam

This Week On Amie Street

This week The Album Project has recommended the very talented, Telograph. Check out the band and pick up their self titled EP which has some amazing tracks on it, including my favorite, “Beneath Your Feet”.

1 Liner: The Hold Steady - Stay Positive

Even though you still may not recognize the name, The Hold Steady broke out into the mainstream with their last record and ‘Stay Positive’ should do just as well. The very raw indie rock music and vocals which sound inspired by rancid or other early punk have just enough pop in the mix to work for the masses. Besides 1 or 2 painful songs the album is pretty good and worth looking into.

New Page

The Album Project has added a new static page called ‘Need To Know‘. This page is for unsigned artists that you need to know. The goal is that this will raise awarness for these bands/artists.

1 Liner: Vic Kingsley - These Frequencies

Despite the band’s name leading you to think it is just a solo artist, Vic Kingsley’s new album is nearly flawless. Rooted in ambient rock that includes all the traditional staples like graceful melodies and songs that ramp up in intensity as the tack nears completion.

Listen to the band

Daily Rec: 5/22

Give The Wooden Sky a listen. The acoustic/folk style is very similar to that of solo artist Dusitn Kensrue.

‘Vic Kingsley’ Is A Band/Not Single Artist

Listening to Vic Kingsley’s new full length album I was swept up in how good it is. This is the great thing about running a music site where I can recommend these amazing bands that don’t get the exposure they deserve. Definitely give the band a spin if you are into Nada Surf, Travis, Mute Math, Barcelona, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, As Tall As Lions or any other similar bands.

We Shot The $

The possiblities for post titles using the band name ‘We Shot The Moon’ are endless and even though probably getting old, bring a slight grin to my face each time. Nevertheless you can get the new album from the band, ‘Fear And Love’ for the cheap at iTunes ($5.99).

Note: link opens iTunes program

Daily Rec: 5/21

By the way, there are a lot of bands with the name ‘Walrus‘. The pop/power/punk one we are looking at today however seems to be the best of them all. Conveniently located in Chicago and also similar style to the victory band 1997 (female keyboardist and all).

Song to start with: Sweet City Irony

For fans of: 1997, The Morning Of, Paramore

1 Liner: Telograph - Self Titled EP

With similar qualities to other major artists Keane, Snow Patrol and even Starsailor, Telograpgh is poised to make an impact when people finally catch on. The album is a mellow rockers dream complete with strong, deep vocals and ballad-esque songs.
