They have a genuinely unique sound in the Bay, combining an eclectic lineup of sax, trumpet, violin, keyboard, drums, guitar, and bass. It may sound like the lineup...

This new radio-friendly rock-pop-anthem from The Y Axes will have you montaging by the first chorus. Where bubble gum singles celebrate a “shake it off” superficiality, lead singer Alexi Rose Belchere belts out a deeper more angsty dedication to loyalty with a contagious hook. No escapism here, but rather an appreciation for someone who makes you feel whole. Beautifully patterned guitar arrangements from Devin Nelson...

Lady Lazarus cloaks lyrical reflections in impressionistic musical musings. From her debut album Mantic, recorded in 2011 at her home in San Jose, Melissa Sweat has shown a penchant for a home-grown sound. That first album, mailed to Pitchfork by her brother, received glowing reviews, praising her musical musings.  Since then, Lady Lazarus has risen, putting...

To say Seth Lael is a versatile musician would only be scratching the surface of this multifaceted gentleman, and a gross understatement to the multitude of talents he possesses. While Seth plays a wicked guitar in multiple projects past and present in the greater SF/Bay area (including one of this author’s favorite The Wyatt Act) his...

These guys are younger in age but wiser in the brain. I’m excited to see their progression. True artists.   About Amplified &...

Seth Lael was one of those men that I wanted to get on the broadcast for some time, but the stars had yet to align. So when he came to my open mic in the outer Sunset, I told myself that I would ask him if he would hop on. Luckily, he had the same...

What first caught my eye about Talk of Shamans was that they were playing at the Great American Music Hall with a fantastic songwriter/performer, Ezra Furman. So, amongst the requests that fly in through iheartsfbands.com, this one stood out. It was also an opportunity to try out another Håwt Linkzz music podcast/drinking game, so I threw it...

I discovered geographer in 2008. They had a small fanbase, but I was quite impressed with their sound. I had no idea at the time, that five years later I would be seeing them at the Fox with a crowd of thousands.

Never Have We Laughed More… What can one say about Cloudship? These two guys are supremely energetic, affable, easy-to-chuckle, and amazing musicians to boot! They joined me in preparation for their upcoming album Mayday. Releasing tomorrow February 3rd,  Mayday is bound to be as wonderful as their first release Sail To Heaven, if not more. I first ran into...

Ghost Tiger is as hip as their hometown, beautiful and relaxed Santa Barbara, where the surf is up and the sun is out. It’s the sort of music that alternates between moving you and getting you moving within the first 10 seconds. Accessible & repetitive bass and drum mixes with top-brained treble that comes at...
