Americana • Folk • Indie RockPhiladelphia , PASince its inception in 2008, Philadelphia-based Americana band Black Horse Motel has managed to conjure up a sound that speaks clearly to its versatility.

Jan 27, 2012Recently, Time magazine featured a guest column from brothers and bandmates Abner and Harper Willis, who front the group Two Lights. In it, the brothers estimate they've spent as much money trying to live their indie rock dreams in the Big Apple as it costs to purchase a house in a nice Omaha neighborhood. The article takes into account not just the day-to-day costs of fronting a band, but also... -
Jan 26, 2012The chances of the two bands we're talking about here playing the same gig are slim - given that we're not talking about SXSW week - if only because Super Robot Party hail from Pasadena, Texas and Warning Birds from Perth in Western Australia. But they're both right here, on MadeLoud, and you can listen to them immediately. Progress! Super Robot Party's closest metropolitan hub is Houston, so it... -
Jan 23, 2012A Rhode Island transplant who arrived in Austin, Texas with a degree in Music Education and a rock band in tow, drummer and songwriter Deano has since expanded his repertoire tremendously, thanks to the help of a gaggle of musician friends (local and far out) and his own chutzpah. His first album Instant Lovers comes out on February 27th, featuring many guest musicians, and he's hosting... -
Jan 20, 2012Independent artist Kristen Faulconer had a big 2011, which she capped off perfectly by appearing at the Hollywood Music in Media Awards, where she was recognized for her song "Slow Down" on the score of the MX vs. ATV Alive game for XBox 360. So, that's pretty cool. Throw in the fact that said song features Raymond Herrera of Fear Factory, and that she's got another song in the works called... -
Jan 18, 2012We all have them – songs that we've heard, loved, and tried to share, but our friends and loved ones and generally the world at large has just ignored or shelved what you deem most worthy. Whether they're forgotten songs by prominent artists, or prominent songs by forgotten artists, these cuts have one thing in common – short of Wes Anderson plucking them up for his next indie-com (hey, could...

Oct 4, 2011The strange thing about nostalgia is the surprise factor involved. For example, you can account for a certain song you listened to when you were dating a certain person to dredge up certain memories, but sometimes revisiting albums from the past barely stirs a passing thought. And then there's the stuff for which you can't even account - for... -
Oct 3, 2011There’s nothing surprising about hearing a child of the 1980s waxing nostalgic about Back to the Future, Culture Club and the original Nintendo Entertainment System. Of course you have fond memories of those particular pop culture touchpoints – so does the entire graduating class of 1991. It’s something altogether different to harbor ‘80s... -
Sep 21, 2011When Portland quintet Ravishers played their midnight set at MusicfestNW, singer Dominic Castillo cracked dry, self-deprecating jokes about his appearance, thanking Don Johnson for the loan of his white blazer and Zack Galifianakis for his unkempt beard. In highlighting these two aspects of his look, Castillo perfectly captured his band's sound:... -
Sep 2, 2011Is your band on the run? Did the band you're in start playing different tunes? Or maybe the band played "Waltzing Matilda," but you can't stand Australian folk music, so you quit the band. Perhaps you're just between band practices. The point is, you're all alone, you're feeling antsy, you gotta get your rock on. Well, have we got the perfect... -
Aug 23, 2011You’re sitting at the bar with some pals when a familiar tune comes over the jukebox. One friend pops his head up and says, “Nice, a little Ice Cube.” Another nods and says, “All right, the Isley Brothers!” Some tense glances are exchanged while everyone waits to see if you’re listening to “It Was a Good Day” or “Footsteps in the Dark.” That kind...
