Bob Log III Makes the Blues a 'Guitar Party'new
When someone dedicates himself to showmanship as completely as Arizona one-man band Bob Log III, it's an act of privation not to see him play live.

This Little Undergroundnew
Sonically, Philadelphia's Man Man and Brooklyn's Tim Fite don't seem the most likely of bedmates. But both acts work the luring whimsicality of children's stories with adult, sometimes dark intentions.

This Little Undergroundnew
As happens with any stimulus, the heavy Swedish metal I've been around lately has apparently modulated my tolerance quite a bit. That would explain why my impression of Opeth is locked in a state of nonplus.

This Little Undergroundnew
Vanda, the new local band fronted by Ryland Bojack, showed promise in their debut performance (Sept. 6, Orlando Brewing). Rather than a world-weary brand of country, their down-home twang is leavened by the kind of indie pop that would be at home in Athens.

Arty Jokers Aren't Above Making Good Songsnew
Created mostly by member Mark Hosler, the latest album by longtime culture-jamming art pranksters Negativland is more outlandish than mischievous.

Boston's Other Great Punk Band Comes Into Its Ownnew
Unless they suddenly turn rap or something jarringly divergent like that, Street Dogs will always be compared to fellow Boston boys Dropkick Murphys. Both bands epitomize the same Southie tough-guy aesthetic, both proudly espouse the proletariat ethos and both express it through chanting anthems cut from the same fists-and-pints street punk cloth.

This Little Undergroundnew
Diversifying their artistic vision, progressive dance duo Daft Punk just released their directorial effort Electroma on DVD. And, boy, is it, ummm, arty. It’s a high-concept film that’s mostly an exercise in style.

The Black Angels and the Warlocks Carry a Distorted Torchnew
The inky pall of their music--so unabashedly Velveteen--burned so hot upon arrival that it tore through the indie music world, leaving a smoldering trail of hype in its path.

Orlando Indie Giants Mumpsy Sing Canary's Songnew
It's possible that no other indie band in Orlando packs as much potential as Mumpsy. Named after a cat in a children's book, they're the union of industriousness and talent, a recipe that's recently been paying off.
