Music this catchy should come with a warning label, informing listeners that they may find themselves becoming addicted to PEP‘s hybrid of retro-pop hooks and deep grooves. Is it habit forming? Oh, hell, yes. However, the odds of you quitting cold turkey are pretty slim. In fact, you’ll be besides yourself in the hope of… READ MORE…

Videos: Cinema Cinema – “Bomb Plot”
After moving to Long Island a little over a year ago, I finally stopped being lazy and unpacked my stereo system and turntable. I figured it was as good a time as any to test out a new receiver my father had given me for Christmas. Once everything was properly wired, I pulled out a… READ MORE…

Review: Ex-Girlfriends – “You’re Next EP”
With each release, Little Dickman Records continues to build a dizzying array of “f**k-you-if-you’re-not-in-for-a-good-time” garage rock that isn’t afraid of getting a little weird. The indie label hailing from Asbury Park, NJ has a keen ear (and eye) for assembling dedicated artists that are a just a little left of center. Little Dickman’s latest acquisition,… READ MORE…

Videos: Hey Anna – “Kinda Love” (NPR Tiny Desk Contest)
Brooklyn’s Hey Anna delivers a unique brand of sincere, feel-good indie pop that’s so freakin’ catchy it should be made illegal…almost. From the moment I first hit the “play” button on 2012’s Hey Anna EP, it was abundantly clear that not only was their music fun, but the band was having genuine fun playing together. That… READ MORE…

Hobsnobbery Live! – The World Is Square @ The Way Station (5/26/13)
I’ve taken great pride in the fact that the Tri-State Area hosts such a vast range of eclectic music styles, but lately I’ve grown to lament the lack of a VGM/Chip Music scene.

Tours: Cinema Cinema (Europe)
The phrase gets bandied about quite often, but I can honestly say there have only been a few times where I’ve witnessed something and been genuinely rendered speechless (watching The Human Centipede for the first time at 2:00 in the morning comes to mind, but the less said about that the better).
