Before heading down to Austin for SXSW, I grabbed the latest EP from Generationals — called Trust — based on an eMusic editorial recommendation. I just can’t get enough of this entire EP, but this is probably my favorite track: A simple, catchy bassline with some great melodic textures and a mellow dual-vocal delivery. It’s [...]

Although he’s best known for fronting electronic rock band Brothers Past, Tommy Hamilton also has a burgeoning Americana side project called American Babies. They’ve got a new record, Flawed Logic, coming out in April and have released a full preview for streaming on the Engine Room Recordings site. They released “Dance All Night” as the [...]

A Built to Spill classic: I was reminded of this one after the Topspin folks posted this live cover by Bad Books: Pretty solid, but also — as my buddy Gibs said — ambitious.
