Chemical Elements : March On, Comrade Ready New Album ‘Our Peaceful Atoms’

March On, Comrade are a hell of a band. They’ve been a band since 2015 when indie pop band Ordinary Van disbanded, but a few of the members decided to keep things going. Ryan Holquist, Charles P. Davis, and Chris Leonard started up March On, Comrade with John Ptak and Ben Robinson. They cut a great […]

D Ferren : Something Like Forever

D Ferren is the quintessential singer/songwriter. He makes gritty tunes that aren’t quite country and aren’t quite folk, but very much rock and roll. He adds bits of familiarity; the organ-fueled white soul of Whiskeytown here, and the guitar crunch of early Wilco there. But even with those inspirations present, Ferren’s musical world is a […]

One Song At A Time : D Ferren Talks ‘Something Like Forever’

by EA Poorman Photo by Ryan Hodges Photography D Ferren has been making dusty, folksy music for a long time now. Starting back in 2002 with saint of life and the morning after cavalier, he made his name as one of the area’s premier songwriters. In 2013 he followed that up with the excellent […]

Evening Spin: House Of Bread’s ‘Hypnic Jerk’

I’ve spent the last two days listening to nothing but what I believe to be my 10 favorite albums of the year. I finished the last record just minutes ago, The Flaming Lips’ The Terror. After listening to nothing but those ten records since Sunday afternoon I can safely say that I made the right […]

Born Under A Bad Sign: A Conversation with We Are Hex

by E. A. Poorman We Are Hex have a sound all their own. It’s a cross between blues, psychedelia, and a bloodletting. Think The Kills, Dead Weather, and Siouxie Sioux thrown into the same cauldron and boiled until their collective essence floats on top of the bubbling sludge. Just listen to their latest single ‘Lewd […]

Slow Pokes-Dead Lines

Within the first thirty seconds of Dead Lines opening track ‘Train Hands’, Fort Wayne rock band Slow Pokes encapsulate the last 45 years of rock ‘n roll. From Troggs garage rock, to Stooges punk, and Chuck Berry “duck walk” exuberance. Zach Kerschner, singer/songwriter/bass slinger sings with a youthful vigor and a drunken ramble that keeps […]
