This week we had the opportunity to sit down with Minneapolis band Guerrilla Blue.
A garage rock version of 1996-era Dave Matthews Band (the good era, if you ask us) crossed with STP and/or grunge tendencies, this indie pop jam band craves a setlist-obsessed fanbase who will sing the nah-nah’s on “Kobe” and sneak into the […]

Yowza! Minneapolis-natives I, Colossus charted #6 on the CMJ Top 20 ADDS last week. That’s a pretty great start for a new up and coming band (you may remember frontman Matthew Sandstedt from former Afternoon Records band Aneuretical).

Robbers on High Street

New York’s Robbers on High Street seemed out of place as they took the stage at First Avenue’s Entry Friday night. It wasn’t the DAV sweaters nor hipster air of superiority. Pure melodic pop, barbershop harmonies and catchy choruses meant for the frat party scene of a college movie just don’t seem […]

Dear Bands and Music PR People,
We are overloaded with old-ass music. You have sent in so many pieces of good music, yet there’s simply no way to update the catalog with a fair queue now that all of these tunes have been released.
