We saw Gold Child, the band of singer/songwriter Emily Fehler, two times at CMJ: one was in the enchanted setting of the rooftop on The Delancey, which mixed tropical plants with Northeastern fall decoration. There she played an acoustic set, together with drummer Jake Beal and guitarist David Von Bader,[…]
As mentioned in my CMJ review of Courtesy Tier‘s show at Arlene’s Grocery, I was determined to join lots of other fans to celebrate the band’s EP release last Tuesday. Many came out to see Courtesy Tier as well as the opening bands Yankee Longstraw, Spritzer and Isadora. The latter[…]
November shows its grey and rainy face this afternoon, yet our Song Pick of the Day Whispers by the Brooklyn-based duo The Rungs, will sweep away any gloomy thoughts. Instantly! It’s an upbeat and playful little gem of a song with just the right dose of sunshine and a touch of[…]
Until next Tuesday, basically the only chance to hear anything from Courtesy Tier was to see them live – not counting amateur fan videos of their gigs on YouTube or the just recently added band video for Childish Blues. Yet, finally next week, they will release their debut EP Little[…]

Good to hear something new from New York band Autodrone: Thunderbolt is a beautifully dark, melancholic track, right in time for fall. Our Song Pick of the Day.
There’s no denying that we totally dig the music of Idgy Dean, who recently released her debut album titled Ominous Harminus (see our review here). I was lucky enough to catch Idgy Dean play an early afternoon show, upstairs at Pianos for the Audiofemme and Atypical Sounds CMJ showcase. Seeing Lindsay[…]
The fangirl in me can’t help but admire all she does. She is Mackenzie Scott who goes by TORRES and who’s currently touring with Garbage.
