YouTube Gems: Le Wrens – “Don’t Forget Me”
I’ve written about Le Wrens before. I feel terrible describing them as Noah Gundersen’s family… but… I mean… they are. But they stand on their own right. The phenomenal family harmonies on this song, “Don’t Forget Me” assure that we will not forget …
Kelley McRae Interview
The day is finally upon us. We had the chance to sit down with Kelley McRae, our unofficial artist of the month for September due to her new album, her new album giveaway (its FREE here), and her willingness to sit down with …
Youtube Gem: The Milk Carton Kids – Ghost Town (Cary Brothers cover)
I think that I can speak for Greg as well on two things: first, it’s been too long since we’ve posted anything from The Milk Carton Kids and, second, that we (definitely I) have a little man crush on Joey and Kenneth. The …

YouTube Gem: Ian McFeron Band – “How the Money Comes”
One of my favorite things about following a few key YouTube accounts (KinkRadio included) is the occasional surprise band that I’d never heard but end up really enjoying. The Ian McFeron Band did a set for the folks at the Bing Lounge that …
Youtube Gems: Crooked Still
We wrote last year about The Deadly Gentlemen, an awesome bluegrass band that kinda sounds like what I imagine would happen if STOMP made bluegrass music. There’s lots of yelling and laughing and it just generally makes you happy and want to clap …
Trampled By Turtles – Stars and Satellites
Dear Greg and our (millions of) loyal readers, why is it that no one felt the need to tell me about Trampled By Turtles? Seriously, I realize that it’s mostly my own fault for assuming Trampled By Turtles was dance/hard rock/metal/whatever else kind …
