Sleeper Agent, the young Bowling Green, KY rockers and self-proclaimed “Little Garage-Pop Act That Could,” have released a video for the song “That’s My Baby.” The song, which can be found on Sleeper Agent’s debut album Celebrasion, is a catchy, old-school garage ditty that lives up to the nickname the band has bestowed upon itself. The [...]
Since 2009 Stereophonics have been fairly quiet, playing a few shows here and there but not releasing any new material. Last fall Kelly Jones, lead singer of the 90s-born Brit-Pop band, told an interviewer that 20 new songs were written with an expected release of 2012.

My Jerusalem have always seemed like kind of a super group. Featuring Jeff Klein, touring member of and Dave Rosser, permanent member of the Twilight Singers, Ashley Dzerigian of Great Northern, Rick Nelson of the Polyphonic Spree and Cully Symington of Bishop Allen.

Their latest single, ’This Machine Is 4′ proves no exception – boasting simple, but furiously fast power chords, [...]
