Featured Review from Chicago Reader
September 23, 2011On his latest and best album, The Rip Tide (Pompeii), Zach Condon of Beirut seems to have outgrown his dilettantism. Though his arrangements still reflect his curiosity about music from around the worldmore at chicagoreader.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
August 05, 2011Originally greeted as a sophomoric, sub-Green Day pretender, Blink-182 showed no sign of staying power when it broke through with 1997’s Dude Ranch. more at avclub.com

SOLD OUT: The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Young Man
Sat. 08/06 | 10:00PM (Doors) @ Empty Bottle (map)
-
Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011When Pains of Being Pure at Heart debuted, the group hearkened back to the heyday of twee ‘80s indie-pop. With the new Belong, however, it has switched its focus to the ‘90s, bringing in no less than the ringer team of Flood and Alan Moulder, who between them helped shape some of the best albums of that decade. more at timeoutchicago.com

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011The young punks in Titus Andronicus are wise beyond their years: Singer Patrick Stickles and his band craft meaningful, epic records with an abundance of cultural references and even more bite. This Lollapalooza preview opens with folk-rock singer-songwriter Christopher Mansfield, who as Fences has a way with understated confessional melancholy. more at timeoutchicago.com

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011Drawing heavily on the melancholy postpunk sounds of Editors and Interpol, Brit band White Lies released a super-hyped, amusingly dramatic debut, To Lose My Life…, in 2009, which hit the No. 1 spot in the U.K. This year it’s back with a newie, Ritual. more at timeoutchicago.com

Featured Review from The Onion A.V. Club
July 21, 2011Like Queen before it, Muse made the move from ornate, orchestral glam to a grab bag of genres—the transition happening between 2003’s grandiloquent Absolution and 2006’s scattered Black Holes And Revelations. more at avclub.com

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011The name Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. screams novelty, and the duo doesn’t contradict initial expectations with its mix of hip-hoppy beats and dreamy indie-folk. The band does, however, have a way with sad little melodies that offsets said novelty. more at timeoutchicago.com

-
Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011Swedish pop artists are once again warming mainstream America’s hearts, and Lykke Li is among the best of the bunch: Though she doesn’t craft melodies as indelible as ABBA’s (who does?), she inherited that famous foursome’s idea of pop as a place for stylistic dress-up. more at timeoutchicago.com

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 02, 2011Ever since Portugal’s inception, frontman John Gourley has worked tirelessly to make PTM a band you want to get on board with, building the kind of live energy reminiscent of a young My Morning Jacket, complete with anthemic songs and lengthy jams that verge on stoner rock. more at timeoutchicago.com

Featured Review from TimeOutChicago
August 04, 2011Friendly Fires are indie rockers who can’t get enough of their dance beats. After rocking out at Lolla, the trio heads to Deb for a DJ set. Getting in on the action, cultural curators the Cobra Snake and Hipster Runoff put down their laptops and cameras for a tag-team set, socialite DJ Ana Calderon returns, and resident DJ Ryan Paradise opens. more at timeoutchicago.com
