The Show
Welcome to (Indie) Rock City! Today we’ll be featuring some of the best and free Independent Rock artists around. And I’d also like to apologize for the massively long time between Episode 5 and 6. Hopefully that wont be happening too often any more. This episode features: Mescalin, Baby There’s a Home for You Somewhere (Else) Planes Yes, Trains [...]
Sorry about the long wait, guys, I’ve been busy with a lot of things lately. I also apologise for any oddities you may notice in the show as it was recorded live and if I remember properly I had a couple of issues with the microphone during the show. All that aside I would like [...]
Today we’re listening to Jeff Schram and New York-based Blues guitarist. He is said to sound like a cross of The Racontours, 70’s Eric Clapton, and the Foo Fighters. I would say he sounds like Clapton, John Mayer, and the Martial Arts. Either way you have a great sound coming from this talented guitarist/vocalist. Tracks featured [...]
Bonus Tracks
- Once again we have a “teaser” track to keep everyone happy until I can get E6 onto Archive.org featuring KJ Hines, an indie rapper from the Austin area that was featured on the 2009 SxSW showcasing artists compilation. This track is pretty much exactly what you’d expect from rap: self-promoting, prideful, catchy, good to listen [...] #
- In lieu of a proper episode (I don’t have access to Archive.org where I’m at) I’d like to present to you Dead Confederate performing The Rat. I got this from the SxSW compilation CD and totally fell in love with the band/song. (I’ll post the link in places of interest shortly) Download mp3/ogg #
- In order to keep everyone happy until I finish putting together a proper introduction for the shows I’d like to share some old-fashioned country blues with y’all. What we’ve got here is a wonderful mix of acoustic-influenced blues (like some of Jeff Schram’s stuff) and southern country. Which sounds odd, I know. But it’s a [...] #
- Enter Robin Grey, an awesome folk artist from Britain! This song in particular has some awesomely deep observations about life, I love it. I particularly like the way everything is told in a pseudo-story-like style, everything leads into the next thought, it just flows beautifully. I, for one, enjoy complex acoustic guitar picking patterns behind [...] #
- I’ve got a nice bonus track here for you: Bird in the Night by Onalaska from their album You and the Fishermen. It’s a really nice sort of acoustic pseudo-rock that I really enjoy; it is fairly mellow and reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel. (although you may not agree) I really like the picture [...] #
