Kudrow-Lando
Dreamed up as a way for 3 friends to hang out, flesh out some ideas that might not work in their other projects, and hang out some more, Kudrow is what happens when you realize that writing your own music is sometimes easier than being in a Replacements cover band...

The Brooklyn trio - Jeff Rosenstock (Bomb the...

Screaming Females-Baby Jesus
One of the first times I heard this band was when we played together in Charleston, SC on Election Day. Since then they have played some crazy shows, opening for Dinosaur Jr, and their recent tour with Jack White's new band Dead Weather.

This is from a recent show at Asbury Lanes, a benefit for 180NJ. Marissa also stopped...

Little Lungs-Atlantic Bridge
Despite my love for the band, I have never had anything of Little Lungs to put up on the site over the last 3 years. Dodgy PAs and dark apartments have forced IYMI to go Lungless for far too long. Luckily ( I say that a lot), Angie and Josh live right across the street, so we were able to...

Jason Anderson-Lift Me Up
Hopefully sometime in the future we can work out a Pink Couch, but until then I've got some footage from his last show which happened right down the street at Dom's house.

Jason is amazing at inciting sing-a-longs, and he has a faithful group of followers who know every single word. I don't think this is on any records,...

The Answering Machine-Oklahoma
This was one of my most forgetful days of the year. I literally had to run back and forth to my car 3 times to get stuff that I had left in the back of my van. Luckily everyone was able to amuse themselves with Toby.

Coming over from Manchester, TAM has been in the city for the last...

Hard Girls-Evening Constitutional
From this year's Fest at the Kickstand. They recently released "Hello" on Quote Unquote, and it's a really amazing record. Get it for free and throw some buckaroonies to the guys.

The band features members of Shinobu, Pteradon and Classics of Love.

Timeshares-Timeshares
Oneonta's The Knockdown recently lost their singer to warmer climates. Without missing a step, the rest of the band jumped right back in and formed Timeshares. I have no idea who is singing on this, Jay? It's usually the first name on the myspace.

It instantly reminds me of Pennsylvania's Digger and Yo Man Go. This 3 song...
