She & Him Confirm Tour Dates, Conan O’Brien Appearance
They turned heads and made jaws drop at San Francisco’s Noise Pop festival and SXSW, and now the hotly-tipped (ahem, understatement) duo known as She & Him — Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward — will play a handful of US dates starting April 21st in New York City, and perform on the Late Show with [...]

Vocals on the punchy standout chorus of “Sprites” recall [...]
Blackhart and Strangelove - ‘Don’t Set Yourself on Fire’
Blackhart and Strangelove have this eerie bewitching quality about them; as if you are alone in a drafty old theatre, walking room to room, when an otherworldly voice seems to shatter the air and expectations in one breath, in one swoop. Tessa Black’s extraordinary vocal range is the centerpiece here, no arguments about that. Dashes [...]

Kingston, NY’s Counterfeit Disaster defies their precarious name on its eponymous EP by effortlessly living up to their collective pedigree and the standards fellow locals Coheed and Cambria and 3 laid out for them.
