7inch Sunday is a segment devoted entirely to 7” vinyl and the all-encompassing experience surrounding it. Although most publications cover major releases, the vinyl single is often overlooked and given nothing more than a half-hearted nod of acknowledgement. This weekly feature is a hub for 7” reviews, exploring the B-sides and rarities of artists that [...]
Over the summer King Tuff, AKA Kyle Thomas, released his self-titled sophomore record, a breakthrough album that figuratively stuffs 70s glam rock guitar with pop sensibility into the “garage” (read our review here). Earlier this week Thomas previewed single “Screaming Skull,” with B-side “Love Potion,” on Pitchfork before its October 9th release date. “Screaming Skull” furthers [...]
Today Brooklyn-based digital-pop wizard St. Lucia premiered the title track off upcoming EP September (September 25th release) via Pitchfork. A long-overdue debut LP is due out in early 2013 on Columbia, a delightful bit of news for anyone who has heard the pop perfection of other tracks like “Before The Dive” and “Closer Than This,” or his [...]

This morning (well, yesterday morning), a chat with Dr. Prynn [...]

Kweller continues to cement his reputation as a songwriter with a penchant for writing delectable pop songs made for that awkward guy at the party who can’t bring himself to [...]
CATCALL is the moniker of Aussie pop artist Catherine Kelleher, a Sydney-based musician (formerly of DIY punk band Kiosk) who released her debut LP The Warmest Place via Ivy League Records on May 4th, 2012. Out of all the nations that call English their first language; I think Australia might have the hardest time gaining acclaim for its musicians and bands outside its borders [...]

The band having two [...]
