Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
January 23, 2012And… buzz goes the dynamite! Chicago’s The Smith Westerns are a fuzzy lo-fi band that has lots of pretty (and slightly psych-y) melodies floating in and around some serious (mostly) garage-rock goodness. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
January 23, 2012Chicago’s Sweet Cobra rock the blazingly intense screamo that sounds like an awesomely annihilating cross between the best of Mastodon, Jesu and Torche, with some Motorhead thrown in for good measure. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from flavorpill
February 01, 2012After a decade-long sojourn from regular performance, Jeff Mangum, the former frontman of Neutral Milk Hotel, and one of indie rock’s most influential musicians, is finally returning to stages. more at flavorpill.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
January 23, 2012I must have listened to D.C.‘s Deleted Scenes’ song “Fake I.D.” a couple dozen times over the past few weeks and I still can’t describe why I like it so much. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012Local garage rockers Radar Eyes don’t have the most compelling backstory; they’re just four people from a few good bands who got together and nailed a highly listenable sound that bested what they’d done in their previous groups. more at chicagoreader.com
-
Featured Review from flavorpill
February 01, 2012On the Venn diagram of local underground rock, Radar Eyes occupy the overlap between our garage-rock, neo-shoegaze, and psychedelic circles (arguably the three strongest current rock scenes in Chicago). more at flavorpill.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012Like the Velvet Underground before them, defunct Georgia indie-rock band Neutral Milk Hotel released a handful of albums that had a very small, localized impact upon their initial release but which have since gone on to provide a stylistic and vaguely philosophical blueprint for an untold number of groups around the world. more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
January 29, 2012Every few years, a Nordic synth-pop artist comes along and sweeps America off its feet—it will always feature a hot blonde, and the songs will always be catchy. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Chicago Reader
February 02, 2012It doesn’t take much squinting to see the Hold Steady and their fans as one of America’s happier and better-adjusted (not to mention most booze-drenched) cults, but anyone expecting front man Craig Finn to dish the same kind of radically affirmative rock on his recently released solo debut, Clear Hearts, Full Eyes (Vagrant), will probably be thrown by the album’s opener, “Apollo Bay.” more at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from flavorpill
February 01, 2012In her excellent list of cultural resolutions for 2012, Flavorwire’s Judy Berman lamented indie rock’s return to “belabored, faux-rustic, quasi-literary troubadour stuff that we thought had passed its expiration date,” adding that, “The Bruce Springsteen impressions are getting tired.” more at flavorpill.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
January 23, 2012Chicago’s Netherfriends are a young trio that plays catchy synth-pop with perhaps a dash of psych (if psych weren’t so serious all the time) and a little bit of hazy laid-back dreaming (like the Animal Collective/Panda Bear thing). more at ohmyrockness.com
