REVIEW: THE NATIONAL – TROUBLE WILL FIND ME (2013)
Both their harshest critics and most devout fans will agree, one of the most prominent elements of The National’s music, is, and always has been, the sadness. From the alt-country beginnings of their 2001 self-titled debut, on through the promising musical growth of 2003’s Sad Songs fo
MAX’S TOP ALBUMS OF 2013
10. Arcade Fire – Reflektor Although I still don’t understand the insane amount of hype surrounding Arcade Fire, I think that Reflektor is a really solid album. 9. Man Man – On Oni Pond On Oni Pond is another great step in the constantly evolving so
DAN’S TOP ALBUMS OF 2013
10. Cults – Static I didn’t give Static a full listen until about two weeks ago, and I’ve had trouble putting it down ever since. I enjoyed the duo’s 2011 self-titled debut, and the follow-up is a deeper streak of the same charming,‘60s-drenched pop vibrance. Dive

INTERVIEW: PHOX (MADISON, WI)
I admit. I miss Madison whenever I’m not there. There’s beauty all around, and a spirit to the city that you rarely find elsewhere; or actually a spirit that finds you. Music-wise, it’s been topping charts for best cities for live music in recent memory, and a multitude of bands have branched
REVIEW: BLOC PARTY – FOUR (2012)
Did Kele leave? Are you guys still a band? Will the sound continue shifting towards more electronic? Less? Do you still play guitars? Bloc Party triumphantly answers all these questions and more with Four, their fourth album and first in four years. And it, for the time being, s
REVIEW: HARRY OAKWOOD (MILLIONAIRE) – EP (2012)
Gimmicks don’t usually do it for me. However, in the case of Harry Oakwood (Millionaire), I have to make an exception. On their website, the London-based quintet claim they formed at the behest of of a millionaire backer who sought “to build a band of brothers who would serve him
