From The Horse’s Mouth: Taylor Madison (Daylight) on Jar

Jarringly heavy and delicately emotional, Doylestown, Pennsylvania’s Daylight has spent the past few years honing their brooding, grooving sound across several EPs.  In 2008, friends Taylor Madison (vocals/guitar), Joe Kane (bass) and Jake Clarke (vocals/guitar) began writing songs calling on ‘90s grunge and punk influences all while adding their own dark vibe. That vibe is [...]

On May 21st, 2013, The Story Changes bring a welcomed sunrise to the music of the last decade, as their artwork depicts from the band’s 3rd full-length studio album, Static And Trembling.

From The Horse’s Mouth: Lorna Thomas (Skinny Lister) on Forge & Flagon

The UK’s Skinny Lister are not your average, modern day English folk group. Fronted by Dan Heptinstall and Lorna Thomas; a vocalist with a lusty cackle and flirtatious presence, the London based five-piece hail from across England. Borrowing the nickname from the Lister family, pioneers in the use of anesthetic, the band have grown naturally [...]

From The Horse’s Mouth: Alex Weinhardt (The Black Antler) on S/T

In mid-2009 a duo of musical veterans from Columbus, Ohio, teamed up to form The Black Antler, a return to their metal and hardcore roots.  And considerable roots they had, guitarist/vocalist Adam Lowe, and drummer Alex Weinhardt cut their teeth in a buttload of celebrated indie and underground bands including Six Gallery, The Phantods, Inept, [...]

From The Horse’s Mouth: Duane Denison (Tomahawk) on Oddfellows

Tomahawk took a break to discover the many truths of the universe. They also uncovered several non truths.

They found time to create the new tunes that make up their new record Oddfellows that will be [...]
