REVIEW: RX Bandits – ‘Gemini, Her Majesty’

Artist: RX Bandits Album: Gemini, Her Majesty Genre: Progressive Rock Label: Mash Down Babylon Records When it comes to bands similar to (and comprised of members from) The Sound Of Animals Fighting, I find myself amidst the conclusion that progressive-sounding genres are either automatically bewildering or strangely fascinating.

Stream RX Bandits’ ‘Gemini, Her Majesty’ In Full

As much as I miss RXB’s less produced sound of recording live, Gemini, Her Majesty has grown on me more and more over the past two weeks of listening to it non-stop. As I’ll be seeing them with The Dear Hunter early next month, I look forward to seeing how they prepare the arrangements for […]

Dream Riders: The Tour Desires of Your Favorite Artists (UTG Exclusive)

Wikipedia defines a rider as: a set of requests or demands that a performer sets as criteria for performance. Whether an act’s tour rider is ridiculously egocentric and/or overly materialistic, just plain outlandish in a fun way, a rock ‘n’ roll legend, or far more modest and unshowy than you might expect, nearly every touring […]

UTG INTERVIEW: Jonathan Hischke (Dot Hacker, The Sound of Animals Fighting)

Some bands are known for one musician, and some musicians end up known for only one band. Jonathan Hischke is not one of those musicians, and his current focus, Dot Hacker, is not one of those bands. The rock group, formed by studio musicians best known as members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and […]

RX Bandits Stream the Ridiculously-Titled “Meow! Meow! Space Tiger”

RX Bandits is back with another track from their forthcoming LP, Gemini, Her Majesty, which is due out July 22. This time around, RXB has taken their sound back in time a bit to resemble their earlier catalog with the Reggaeton-infused “Meow! Meow! Space Tiger.” The title may be a bit goofy and sound like […]

RX Bandits Reveal New Album’s Title (‘Gemini, Her Majesty’), Cover Art

Back in January, RX Bandits made our dreams come true by announcing that they were in fact working on a new record. Their Pledge Music campaign was evidence of that but very little information was revealed at the time. We assumed the end of the year would make sense for a release but it turns […]

Just yesterday, California’s own RX Bandits announced that they were in the process of working on and releasing the long-awaited follow-up to 2009’s Mandala.

BEST NEWS: RX Bandits Say, “we will indeed be making a new album.”

Oh, how I was awaiting this news! We all hoped it’d come in due time and we had a feeling that it would, especially after they more or less hinted at it last year. RX Bandits finally revealed on Saturday that they would in fact be releasing a new album as a follow-up to their […]

The Sound Of Animals…Writing? Or Something Not As Exciting?

Admittedly, the cheesy headline was more of an attempt at a pun than what the news may actually be, but something is definitely happening in camp TSOAF! At the very least, there’s activity on their Facebook and website. Maybe we’re just getting excited as they simply thought it was time to change their cover photo, […]
