Pinback Announce ‘Summer In Abaddon’ 10th Anniversary Tour Dates With Tera Melos

Indie rock got a prog update when Pinback first hit the scene in 1998. Fast forward to today and the San Diego dudes are still running fast, most recently having dropped the bright, upbeat Information Retrieved in 2012. Arguably their best album, however, is 2004’s Summer In Abaddon, an excellent showcase of Rob Crow’s distinct vocals and Armistead Burwell Smith […]

Piglet Successfully Funds Kickstarter Campaign

Oh, math rock, how I adore your best bands and despise your run-of-the-mill local acts. Legendary math rock pioneers Piglet successfully funded their own Kickstarter campaign earlier today, which featured a handful of limited prints of their releases.

REVIEW: Tera Melos – ‘X’ed Out’

Artist: Tera Melos Album: X’ed Out Genre: Indie Pop, Math Rock Label: Sargent House I had this album for review two weeks before it came out. I listened to it probably close to twenty times in that first week of April, which was an emotionally negative time for me, and I really thought this was […]

MUSIC VIDEO: Tera Melos – “Bite”

My neighbors are blasting Phil Collins out of their apartment with their windows open so I’m blasting Tera Melos into my brain. Their newest album, X’ed Out, just dropped yesterday via Sargent House and it’s been on repeat here for us since that very moment. It’s ridiculously good and you should buy the hell out […]

This Town Needs Guns Change Name, Announce European Tour

This Town Needs Guns was always an interesting name for a band. Yesterday, it was announced on Sargent House’s Facebook page that they would no longer go by This Town Need Guns, and instead refer to themselves as TTNG. When a fan asked “What’s wrong with guns?“, the label responded “Well for one, no town […]

DOWNLOAD: Tera Melos – “Tropic Lane”

Tera Melos have been working on a new record for some time. I would even guess that the album’s been finished for a while since guitarist and vocalist Nick Reinhardt had the time to come out with a solo album for Christmas. Today, they had a song, “Tropic Lane” premier on Rolling Stone from their […]

ALBUM STREAM: Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos) – ‘Satan’s Power’ Christmas EP

If the EP title seems ridiculous, that’s because it is. A Christmas release titled Satan’s Power? Not exactly your every day release. The all instrumental, weird sounding and guitar based EP is for sale for $3.33 (half of 666?), and it is covers of Christmas choral classics done entirely by Nick Reinhart from Sargent House […]
