"The comparisons between transatlantic duo the Kills and Detroit, Michigan's White Stripes are inevitable, especially since both units are comprised of only two members (one female and one male), utilize the same instruments (just guitar and drums), and specialize in the same stripped-down, garage rock sound..."

"With a body built on growling, hard-hitting, straight-up rock, and incorporating elements of pop, operatic vocals, haunting piano accompanyment, celtic lilts, tibetan bowls, and scratchy voice-over samples, Dredg at times embodies the energy of punkrock and still posesses the powerful, graceful makings of a movie score..."

W. Kamau Bell (SF Weekly's Best Comedian 2008 & Comedy Central's 1st comic to tell a Barack Obama joke) & Nato Green (of Iron Comic, Laughing Liberally Local 415, & The New Jew Revue ) band together once again for the second edition of their comedy summit: Laughter Against The Machine.

"Caleb had written most of the lyrics and melodies for Only By The Night during some downtime at home recovering from shoulder surgery. "I think the pain pills inspired him a little more than he realized," Nathan says with a laugh. "He would play us a song and we'd say, 'When did you write that?' and he'd say, 'I don't really remember writing it. I just woke up with an empty bottle of wine and my songbook open and these words written down.'"

"Santogold is a survivor of a half-century worth of living along musical evolution's most cutting edges. The only live act that can boast of having out-aged Barbara Bush, having outlived Mr. Miyagi and out-styled Liberace, Santigold is here with future flavor."

"Jupiter Rising picked a near-perfect band name. Like our solar system's biggest planet, where gravity is much stronger, this Los Angeles act exerts a powerful pull. And the duo of Spencer Nezey and Jessie Payo are definitely on the ascent, as indicated by the title of their new album, The Quiet Hype..."

"Like a sculptor, Reznor knows to adapt, to make his rough edges smoother without sanding away the art. The single should stand out as an era-anthem: "Discipline" begins with Reznor coming in a measure early, then stopping, then correcting himself. This error is an admonition of the big-budget gloss-creation machines that Reznor has all but done away with. The rest of the song is top-notch, propulsive, catchy NIN dance-pop, every bit as significant as the comeback hits on With Teeth..."

The Brooklyn-based group TV on the Radio mixes post-punk, electronic, and other atmoshperic elements in such a creative way that it only makes sense that its core duo, vocalist Tunde Adebimpe and multi-instrumentalist/producer David Andrew Sitek, are both visual artists as well as musicians. Adebimpe is a graduate of NYU's film school and specializes in stop-motion animation...

"Mashing together electro, rock, and funk and taking cues from such artists as Daft Punk and Prince, Ghostland Observatory formed in Austin, TX, and consists of vocalist/guitarist Aaron Behrens and producer/beat-maker Thomas Turner..."

Though he was born in Chicago, this DJ found his spiritual and musical home in San Francisco by way of Salt Lake City and New York.

"If you want all the facts, then yes, the story of the Dears did begin in Montreal in 1995, spurred on by cigarettes, pints, and too many nights of overanalyzing Smiths records. But that was so very long ago. Friends come and go, formative influences are outgrown like a hand-me-down iron-on t-shirt, idols must be killed..."

"Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning folk, pop, and comedy band composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" (having been bumped by a tribute band of themselves, Like of the Conchords), the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterisation and acoustic guitars to work the audience..."
