Esquire's Charles Pierce gets Mama all revved up over Washington politics. Stephanie Miller, Chris Lavoie and Jim Ward are all laughs reading Pierce's latest zingers out loud, about House Republicans, about Paul Ryan, about the sequester. And to the Senatorial Democrats who are complaining that Obama hasn't reached out to them enough, Pierce exclaims, "You're a senator of the United States and you need your hand held?" Charles says it feels like "we're wandering through 2009 all over again," like there was not an election last fall.

Permanent Tag: Music Rating: Good Hits: 440 Comments: 0 Kestrels: Kestrels: "There All the Time without You": Sxsw 2013 Showcasing Artist Fueled by a summer spent living in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, far removed from the insular peninsula of Halifax, KESTRELS' guitarist/vocalist Chad Peck wrote a record that thoroughly mines out concepts of nostalgia and memory. Recorded in various bursts of activity over 2010 and 2011 along with an updated mix of live staple "The Light" from The Solipsist EP (Noyes Records, 2010), lyrically, the album answers a question posed in Jean Baudrillard's essay from The Vital Illusion: "Is a ghost history, a spectral history, still a history?" Where KESTRELS' debut LP Primary Colours (Noyes Records, 2009) was a relatively safe sonic affair, their sophomore full length A Ghost History, their first for revered Canadian independent label Sonic Unyon Records, ups the ante considerably. Self-producing the record to ensure it met their own standards, sometimes refining and re-recording songs multiple times over the year (album closer "The Past Rests" was tracked 23 times in four different recording sessions) until everyone was satisfied). The results jump out of the speakers — from the opening drone and washed-out guitar of "Drowning Girl", the screeching crescendos of "The Field Where I Died", and to the alien lines all over the first single "There All The Time Without You". Even Tim Wheeler of Irish band Ash, the teenage hero of Peck's who struck up a friendship with Peck backstage at an Ash show in 2003, drops by to guest on album standout "Dumb Angel", featuring Wheeler's inimitable guitar style front and center. Blending earnest lyrics & an endearing sense of melody with an updated take on 90's indie rock guitar histrionics, and now based in Halifax, Toronto and Montreal, KESTRELS' A Ghost History delivers on the promises made on the early releases by the band. Kestrels are Chad Peck, Devin Peck (bass), and Paul Brown (drums). Feb 27, 2013 4:52 PM
Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 333 Comments: 0 Turtle Giant: Turtle Giant: "We Were Kids": Sxsw 2013 Showcasing Artist" It's not easy to stand out in the proliferating indie rock cliché -- a cesspool of mediocrity and forced emulation. Turtle Giant gives any reference of cliché a roundhouse kick to the face. Formed in 2009, Turtle Giant has been laying the bricks for what has become a multi-national, multi-dimensional musical escapade. São Paolo/Macau natives, the trio consists of members Frederico Ritchie (Guitar, Bass, Keys, Vocals), António Conceição (Vocals, Guitar, Bass) and Beto Ritchie (Vocals, Drums, Guitar). After writing and recording their 2011 debut album Feel To Believe (AwÁ Records) and building a strong following in their Brazilian homeland, the band made a cross-continental leap settling in Barcelona and playing dates across Spain for the majority of 2011. Fearless and hungry for new horizons, 2012 saw the band part with its growing Spanish fanbase and traverse the globe yet again for Macau -- the band's current locale. Amidst rampant touring across Southeast Asia, the band performed at notable festivals including the Spring Scream Festival in Taiwan and the Music Matters Festival in Singapore in early 2012. They were also picked to perform at KEXP\'s CMJ Union live broadcast along with The Antlers, DIIV and Paul Banks. With top-notch songwriting and polished instrumentals, Turtle Giant delivers hard-driving, melodic rock infused with modern psychedelia and classic rock undertones. The band's debut single "Sunlight" from Feel To Believe caught the attention of music supervisors and has seen placements on primetime television in The Ghost Whisperer, One Tree Hill and 90210. Fueled by their early success, the band's next recorded endeavor comes in the form of the self-produced All Hidden Places EP (Self-Released), which was recorded at the historic Dom Pedro V Theatre in Macau and was mixed and mastered by Fernando Sanches at Studio El Rocha in São Paulo, Brazil. Driven by the anthemic lead single "We Were Kids", the EP showcases the band's development into a veritable force to be reckoned with. With notable influences stemming from classic rock, psychedelia, blues, and traces of grunge, All Hidden Places delivers five emotionally-charged songs that emerge infectiously simple yet gracefully gargantuan.

Permanent Tag: Music Rating: Good Hits: 230 Comments: 0 Churchill: Churchill: "Change": Sxsw 2013 Showcasing Artist Tim Bruns - lead vocals and rhythm guitar / Tyler Rima - bass / Bethany Kelly - vocals and keys / Joe Richmond - drums / Mike Morter - mandolin, banjo, lead guitar, uke and crowd pleasing Churchill singer/guitarist Tim Bruns and mandolin player Mike Morter have been making folk-infused rock songs with a delicate bluegrass flair together since the first day they met. In 2009, Bruns and Morter added bassist Tyler Rima, drummer Joe Richmond, and keyboardist/singer Bethany Kelly to their lineup, a move that vastly expanded their sound and birthed the high-energy alt-country/pop-rock hybrid that is Churchill. As with all of Churchill's releases so far, Change EP is entirely self-produced and self-recorded by the band to truly capture the raw, frenetic energy of their live show. Their upcoming debut for A&M;/Octone, offers up a selection of songs that flaunt their supreme skills in blending hook-laced pop with soulfully charged, lushly textured rock. From the freewheeling country swing of "Ark in a Flood" (a sprawling anthem marked by soaring, sunny harmonies) to the Motown strut of "Change" (a gorgeously pained love song on which Kelly's tough but tender vocals take the lead), Change EP enlists Churchill as an outfit that's both classic in sensibility and undeniably fresh in sound. Always honored to be on stage, Churchill\'s live experience is a major part of how they effectively leave their audience feeling hopeful and ready to change the world. Feb 13, 2013 11:16 PM
