Fake Babies "Summer Bodies" is spinning all over the state, getting parties started and keeping bodies moving! I had the chance to ask the boys of Fake Babies some questions about their plans for future releases and shows, as well as a look inside their creative process. See the interview below!
Connecticut has one of the most thriving punk scenes in the country. It’s full of support and is known to bring in bands from out of state to play with tremendous local bands. This summer alone, The Virus and Union 13 graced our fine state.
Elison Jackson are a band that stands out. They have their own distinct and unique blend of pop, folk and blues. On their new album "Do Not Fear To Kill A Dead Man" they explore new and old territory, refining and perfecting their sound.
You are cordially invited to get your goddamned teeth kicked in on Thursday @ Cafe Nine as the rolling thunder from this show is sure to impact ALL faces in a mile radius. Sperm Donor, Murdervan and Beasty are too busy blasting rock music to care about your poor bruised ears!

Visceral and exciting, Hubbell Mountain’s new album, illustrated by the well-known LA artist Brendon Monroe (good freaking grab, guys, I love his work), grabs us by the chest and digs its roots deep inside us. With hi-fi precision and ingenious production quality, this [virus] collection next fuses with our arteries and starts to pump its serious mind-numbing juices into our bloodstream, and finally, after trying to rip our own hearts out, to no avail I assure you, it drowns us in its own frothy, pneumonic harmony; lulling us to our final sleep in a bath of melancholic and deeply personal dreams.
José Oyola is a creature of the stage, there is no doubt about it! His love of live performance and theatrics has caused him to concoct SPACETRON, an event that is more than just another concert. It will basically be a giant carnival party with crazy lights, smoke machine, face painting, kaleidoscope making, photobooth, LED hula hoop performance, and just an all around amazing time.
Here's a video of one of the heaviest bands out of CT, Tomb and Thirst, kicking it hard at Elm Bar earlier this month. The sound on this video is awesome, as is the performance!
Sweet melodic indie pop fills the width of "Held at Bay", a new track from Dance, Charlatan! "Marked is a man, and his principles too, when the problem at hand is a drunk love for you" are the first words of the sweet love song, which shifts between easy-going to fill force rock. This is a promising track from a band with only one other track available on their bandcamp.
Our ears are open, Dance, Charlatan! Now give us more tunes!
A “pure pop rock genius” is the only way to describe New London rocker Matt Gouette. It seems like everything he touches turns to gold.
Brian Grochowski is a real renaissance man. One could say he has his finger in a lot of pies. I had the opportunity to ask Brian some questions about all the bands he is in, as well as some of the details of his "1 album a month for the rest of 2013" project.
The Vultures and Bangladeafy are coming to rock Anna Liffey's in New Haven on Sunday, and you all should get down for some fun music and dancing!

Everyone favorite pop masterminds Ladyhips are playing one of my favorite spots on the planet, The Stomping Ground up in the quiet corner of the state, Putnam!
So I’m out in Rhode Island for the week horse and housesitting, and this album, Jacket Thor's Sirens Will Guide Me, has been dominating half of my music listening here. Zen like an afternoon nap, these songs can get me going in the midst of most anything; seriously, its borderline virtually impossible to be unhappy while listening to them, even when the lyrics are pointing to death and our inevitable and constant existential crisis.
Another great show at BAR this Wednesday! Crystal Stilts are joined by Survival and Ghost of Chance!
Garage rock barn burners Estrogen Highs are playing at Best Video in Hamden on Wednesday, and you should get down with supporting great local music as well as well as a great venue/video store!

promoting as many CT shows and artists as we can. The spot series,
called Ab Origine
(from the source, in latin) premiered June 28th 2012 on WPKN.
Brian Grochowski is in a LOT of bands. I first saw him drumming for The Gentle Stunts last year, and he did am amazing job. Then I heard he was in Sub Verso and now we are hearing a weird solo LP called "Now, Wait For Last Year"
