Happy Free Music Friday everyone! I absolutely love when we find a band that sort of fits in with no other bands we know. When I reviewed Departures and Farewells last year, I was really impressed with Hem and their mellow, female-vocal led stylings. Funnel …

NeedToBreathe – The Heart
While NeedToBreathe’s newest album, Rivers in the Wasteland, is all over the map in terms of quality and certainly not up to par considering their stellar past, “The Heart” it a song that had them going back to their roots. This acoustic, organic song …
Guest Post: Jake Nelko on Pittsburgh indie rockers 1,2,3
Every great band deserves a great hiatus. This may not have been the defined mindset, but 1,2,3 have returned after a couple years off the radar with their 2014 release, Big Weather. Fans like me have been waiting with anticipation for their follow-up …
Miner – Hey Love
One of the new up and coming folks acts that’s recently caught my ear is a band called Miner. While it seems like it would be your typical folk band with banjos, mandolins, etc., it becomes something more with unique vocals and a …

Guest Review: Randy Texter on The Belle Brigade – Just Because – Great harmonies and blending from LA-based new folk band

Pandas & People – On My Way
Pandas & People have just released a 5 song EP in the vein of The Lumineers, more on that later. This group’s catchy folk-pop sound is nearly perfect. They have a knack for clever lyrics and fun rhythms with hand claps and stomps. …
