Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 31, 2012Mauro Remiddi has played in bands and recorded in studios—and as he approaches 40 years of age, he’s decided he’s done with both. Now operating under the Porcelain Raft banner, the former head of jangle-poppers Sunny Day Sets Fire keeps things simple on the Gone Blind EP: his wisp of a voice, a circular guitar line, a bare minimum of programmed percussion, and a lot of ambient static. In melodic sense and voice, Remiddi is eerily reminiscent of solo-era John Lennon; and Gone Blind plays more at avclub.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
May 29, 2012Porcelain Raft plays pretty, low key mood music that makes you feel sad (but not too sad) and nostalgic and probably bittersweet about past things known only unto you. And it’s all the work of one Londoner (by way of Italy) named Mauro Remiddi. He used to be in that band Sunny Day Sets Fire (which I thought was one of the most derivative band names of recent years… but who asked me).

Featured Review from ChicagoInnerview
May 31, 2012While sidelined from an Alkaline Trio U.K. tour after a motorcycle accident, most hardly expected the news release of a side project from Matt Skiba and album Babylon to follow. Featuring AFI bassist Hunter Burgan and My Chemical Romance drummer Jarrod Alexander, another trio has formed to make sweet music that is heavier in the pop-punk department than the always emotional and sentimental beauty of Alkaline Trio’s lyrical content.more at chicagoinnerview.com

Featured Review from Oh My Rockness
May 29, 2012After a long hiatus, Smoking Popes are back playing fairly regularly again. You remember them? They were a little pop-punk band from the Chicago suburbs that were famous for a few days. These guys formed in 1991, but things really started hyping for them three years later when, after releasing Born to Quit on the tiny Johann’s Face record label, they became 1994’s version of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.
Improbably, they started playing “I Need You Around” on the radio every day and Green Day, Jimmy Eat World and Morrissey were suddenly asking if Smoking Popes wanted to tour with them. The crazy hype died down (as it almost always does) and eventually this band of the Caterer brothers called it quits in 1999.
But now they’ve all gone and reunited (they are family, after all) and stuff. I’ve always liked these guys (even if they toured with Goo Goo Dolls) and it’s nice to have them around again. Josh Caterer has a good voice. more at ohmyrockness.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
May 31, 2012Austin’s Scott H. Biram has been a critical darling for some time now, picking up rave reviews for his blazing backwoods-style reinvention of ’30s Delta blues. In 2005, Bloodshot Records re-released an expanded version of his commendable debut, The Dirty Old One Man Band, followed by 2006’s Graveyard Shift, which came out to equally fine notices. more at avclub.com
