The NYC-based Whale Belly will be taking part in the Papergarden Records & Paper Trail showcase on Sunday afternoon of the Northside Festival. That’s a whole lotta paper, and it’s all free. Enjoy some whole-grain folk, alt-Americana strains, a Copeland compendium from the honest pluck of guitars to the...

Why should you make Goodbye Blue Monday a Saturday night destination during Northside Festival? Because Tayisha Busay will glam your ever-loving socks off. QRO has dug them since we heard their electro-pop EP Shock-Woo!, and it’s been a nasty little love affair ever since. The Brooklyn-based trio bring the...

Where are you going to be Saturday afternoon for Brooklyn’s Northside Festival? If you answered: "Bar Matchless, for the Battering Room Presents showcase" then you answered correctly. Be there early for the New York-based dharma-core indie rockers Beat Radio. Have a listen to "the eternals" off the album Golden...

Kanine Records has you hooked up on Friday night at Northside Festival. It’s a tight showcase front-to-back with QRO favorite Zambri (remember their stellar EP Bang For Changes? The Guardian , Fader , and Spin loved it too) and Dream Diary hitting the stage early; Xray Eyeballs, Pepper Rabbit,...

Lord Jeff just dropped a sweet single called "Spillwave" that gives the Allman Brothers the lo-fi treatment, with a hint of shoegaze. No word yet on whether the Northampton, MA-based outfit is inaugurating a new genre — we will update you as events unfold. The artwork at right is...

I had a little snafu with the Neon Marshmallow preview — I mixed up Cults and CVLTS. The former is a poppy, Wall of Sound-type two-piece and the latter is an ambient drone act. Whoops! My bad, dude. So I checked out CVLTS last night and he was pretty...

What a sweet, sweet, sweet throwback 50s pop ballad. A number of bands do this well when they want to: Fresh and Onlys’ "I’m A Thief" and Girls’ "Ghost Mouth" come to mind – but there are a ton of homages, and they are particularly beautiful re-envisionings of the...
