“Garage band” is usually an insult, but the do-it-yourself style of LA band The Rebel Light is part of what makes them so enjoyable. They’ve put some pretty awesome work on their bandcamp page that’s a joy to fans of the recent wave …

Burlap to Cashmere
This post was written by Brent Hitchcock, one of the winners of our Review Contest! Thanks to Brent for this awesome work. Look forward to reading more from him soon. Last year, I had the pleasure of hearing Burlap to Cashmere live at …
Casey’s Top 10 Albums of 2012
After our first full year here at EarToTheGround Music, I’m really excited to bring you a full year’s worth of albums. This year was a really interesting year and one that was really different from last year. Last year, we saw the release …
Best of 2012: Greg’s Top Songs 11-20
This is an impossible task we’ve set before ourselves. Choosing songs that are “better” than others is futile. As I look at my already-limited list and try to make it smaller for this published list, I’m moved to emotion. Some songs make me …
Casey’s Top Songs of 2012: #10-#1

Shovels and Rope – O’ Be Joyful
While this album certainly seems like it could be a Christmas album (a mistake I made as well), it’s too early for that. This is, instead, one of the best folk albums of 2012, one that sees Cary Ann Hearst and Michael Trent …

Gary Clark Jr. – “When My Train Pulls In”
In anticipation of Gary Clark Jr.’s new album, Blak and Blu, which is a stupid title, this is a video of “When My Train Pulls In”. It’s one of the best songs on the album and really shows what he’s capable of. The album is …
