indie

fantastic creative energy and passion from this band - shouting harmonies and foot stomping rhythm - you'll hear it most in I Woke Up Today a song that sends me flying around the room like a little child - Close the Lid is another stand out song

3 peoples: one ukelele, one guitar, and more than one drum come together from other places and make some bang up indie pop with extremely cool experimental vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. If you haven't heard these cats yet you will... or if you won't you should... or just listen already! Aren't you tired of reading my ramblings?

nice, very easy to listen to, subdued crooner, elegant rock and roll - creative and visceral lyrics

lighten up a bit - don't take yourself too seriously - but seriously, this is very good songwriting - makes me want to cartwheel

Here's an in studio session. I love these raw recordings. Heatherwood sounds truer to its lyrics: frail and naked, much slower than the disk version. Dr. Glass is magnificent and poppy reminding me a bit of early Police. The maracas are a nice touch. Activa is in their more experimental vien. Cox's vocalisms are amazing in this one.

tangles of guitar, knots of singing, threads of beat and thump make a rope fit for hauling the heavy machinery of your day - Thao

Live Spiders is Joe LaBrecque of Bright. Please check out Bright's page (www.myspace.com/brightsounds) and the pages for Nonloc (www.myspace.com/nonloc and www.nonloc.com), the fantastic solo project of Bright's Mark Dwinell.

Have your cake and eat it. Solid songwriting without sacrificing innovation & experimentation as happens all too often in the underground music scene these days. Sounding much more punk rock here in this live session than their studio work, you get a sense of their concert sound: raw and raucous.

Baroque pop supergroup (19 members): utterly creative and beautiful. Download their entire 2005 self titled album free here in real media format courtesy of Arts & Crafts.
