Trendy Bands

Vandaveer is the town-folk, city-pop, solo song and dance routine stated for the record and committed to tape by one Mark Charles Heidinger. In recent seasons this Mark Charles character traversed the mighty American highways spreading golden pop rock cheer and debauchery as principle singer, songwriter, hand-clapper and chorus-yelper for The Apparitions. Where The Apparitions [...]

Cool band alert! The Blood Arm is a rockin’ band from LA, and their sound travels far - at times eerily reminiscent of Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, who happen to be fans of the band…and wow these guys have rocked my socks off. The best way to listen to The Blood Arm’s “Suspicious Character” single [...]

Hayward Williams‘ Another Sailor’s Dream is a freewheeling, shotgun wedding of folk, blues and rootsy country rock, all filled with a gorgeous blend of ache, gristle and whiskey-toned gruffness.

Larrikin Love has caught my eye and ear with their song “Happy As Annie”. The video was on TV this morning and amongst the repetitive crooning and jingly jangly sounds that tend to populate the video channels on a normal day, Larrikin Love stood out from the rest.

Dave Navarro is truly a rock blog, podcast and video pioneer. He’s probably one of the busiest musicians not only actively playing rock music but also on the net. For the last few years his blog 6767.com has been a place for his fans and the curious to see what rock musicians get up to [...]
