SF Weekly Feature Interview - Native
Native, a noisy prog-core quartet from Northwest Indiana, are playing two shows this weekend at the Bottom of the Hill in support of their last album, Wrestling Moves, which combines all the rhythmic intricacy and interlocking near-melodies and committed yelling of post-hardcore exemplars like These Arms Are Snakes. Also playing are Orange County psych-core heroes RX Bandits,...

The rise and rise of a band called Adebisi Shank
Listen to Interview Dublin-based trio Vinny, Mick and Lar have been playing together as Adebisi Shank since 2007. After four years, two albums and heck of a lot of hard work, it seems like it’s all coming together for the three-piece, and in a massive way.
Their critically acclaimed second album brought them on tour to Japan with Mike...

Sonic Masala Better Late Than Never on Tera Melos
Melos Mana(r)ges The Magic Mike
Tera Melos put out an electric LP last year that I dont think many (including myself) gave enough credit in Patagonian Rats. This year the math spazzniks are giving us the chance to make amends, with the release of cassette/EP Zoo Weather (out on Sargent House) on February 22nd. ‘Manar The Magic’ is off it, and its quite brilliant, not least due to...

Zombiebirdhaus Q&A with Nick Reinhart of Tera...
Tera Melos first caught my attention back in 2006 while their music was still predominantly instrumental. Their music ping-pongs through math rock madness and post-rock experimentation all the while delivering a warm dose of melody. Their fantastic and most recent Patagonian Rats was released in September of 2010 through Sargent House and they have been touring in support of it since. You guys...

Moderate Rock Reviews Tera Melos' Patagonian Rats
Tera Melos have changed. But that shouldn’t be a surprise. Tera Melos hate ‘the same’. And ‘normal’ and ‘safe’ and ‘simple’ too. So while the Californian combo have kept the instrumental math-rock backbone from their early efforts, they’ve added loads more fuzzy layers, blissy melodies and smooth hooks to the mix for album number two. Oh and vocals too. Yeah, vocals. And guitarist Nick...

RCRD LBL Features - Tera Melos' Manar The Magic
PREMIERE: Tera Melos - Manar The Magic (feat. Mike Watt)
It’s hard to describe Minutemen without sounding trite: groundbreaking, unparalleled, the best of the best. They were punk in its prime and arbiters of the mixed method approach to sound, combining elements of jazz, acid rock and other styles with their hardcore roots and innovative take on song structure. So who better than...

AudioMilk Features - Therapies Son
I’m still thinking about the moment I heard his latest track “Touching Down.” Since then, the song hasn’t left my rotation and I don’t see an end. Nestled in California’s San Fernando Valley is Therapies Son, better known as 19-year-old Alex Jacob, songwriter of grand pop songs with Sinatra-like moves. We’re not here to say his music is in a whole other zone, but it’s rare coming across such a...

Loud Loop Press - 11 Chicago Bands To Watch 2011
GYPSYBLOOD
With just a three song EP released under Sargent House, Gypsyblood has already turned Chicago on its ear. Known for lively kazoo solos, growling, lo-fi vocals, and fuzzy surf-rock guitar that can suddenly turn on you into a pounding mess of passion and feedback, Gypsyblood has staked their claim as the cutting-edge of Chicago indie rock. But they deserve more than just admiration...

Hometown: Van Nuys, California. The lineup: Alex Jacob (vocals, music)
The background: Here’s another PC (post-chill) laptop-pop boy – and he is a boy, just – to file alongside the likes of the much raved about (around these parts anyway) Idiot Glee,...

RCRD LBL Featured DL - Native - Five Year Payoff
“Sometimes a band is so solid when you see them at SXSW the year prior that you have to post that same material in the hopes that new songs will soon follow. Native was my band to see in Texas last year, and the post-hardcore slow build of “Five Year Payoff” is rather symbolic of the wait for round two. While calmer and more drawn out in its multi-layering, it contains the...

NME Radar Tip Of The Day - Therapies Son
Therapies Son - aka Van Nuys, California’s Alex Jacob - is the latest lo-fi bard to step forward from Transparent Records’ trailblazing lo-fi fold. Imagine the uneasy fragility of Perfume Genius on a night out with John Waters’ Divine at an Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, and you’re on the same page as his debut single, ‘Rose Red Rose’:
