GBTV: Terrier

Dario Garcia — Thu, 02 May 2013 18:39:22 +0000

When I left San Francisco, my first stop in Spain was in Madrid with the band Terrier. I hadn’t met them before, but I used to talk a little bit with the bass player Manolita, and finally getting to meet them was so fun. We drank some beers, and after the shoot, we went to a [...]

Review: Thee Oh Sees – Floating Coffin

Christian N. Kerr — Thu, 02 May 2013 16:06:35 +0000

In case you haven’t heard, Thee Oh Sees have another, yes, another, album out. Their first release of 2013, Floating Coffin, puts the band on a warpath against all those who say more isn’t better.

Jonathan Markley — Wed, 01 May 2013 17:13:27 +0000

So with Crypt and Rip Off Records dead and gone, who’s gonna keep the garage punk spirit alive? Well for sure more than a couple bands are trying, but way too many just fall flat on their faces (sorry, not everyone’s band is as killer as their PR people say they are). So thank fucking [...]

Video: The Cry! – I Think I’m In Love

Ray Charles — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 19:17:41 +0000

The quest for the perfect pop song. While it drove greats like Phil Spector and Brian Wilson over the edge (I’m sure the illicit drug use had a little something to do with it too), Portland’s fab four The Cry! shine in their debut video for “I Think I’m in Love”. It’s the kind of song [...]
