Black Tambourine »

The Maryland foursome of Mike, Brian, Archie and Pam known as Black Tambourine are the The Velvet Underground of fuzzy noise pop; not everybody bought their records but everyone who did formed a band.

Good thing you have a trust fund. Consider a trip abroad or art school. Or [...]

The New Pornographers »

Carl Newman has found himself in quite the compromising position, yet one that he is inadvertently pleased about.

Jeffry Lee of Hard Drugs »

Jeffry Lee is into Hard Drugs. Lines are his preferred method of execution. It is not clear whether he is under the influence when creating his predominantly hand-drawn graphics, but whatever the method involved, the product is kick-ass visual art rooted in punk rock. Early influences include iconic and slightly disturbing comic [...]
