Last month I saw Octa#grape. Listen to them, just do it. They were jumping around on stage and swinging their guitars around. When seeing a band play live, I always pay attention to the stage presence and chemistry between the members. Not because I'm trying to be analytical when seeing bands, but just because I like to see if they are having fun. Seriously, these guys have fun when they play. All of them had huge smiles on their faces while playing. You can tell that this band is playing because they just love playing live shows. They were even smiling when the singer's microphone went out and he had to lip sync one of the songs. It made me dig them ten times more. Eternal hair is really good listening. I put a link for the song down on the bottom. Look for Octa#grape because these guys don't do it for the fame. They're doing it because they love having fun.

White Murder- Real Touch Chicks
Follow @Uhh_yup
I saw White Murder at The Void a week ago, and boy was it a treat. This band had some intense energy, and the two female singers really stole the show for everyone. They were out in the crowd singing, bringing up the timid crowd. Towards the end, these singers started wrestling on the floor. The whole experience was very entertaining. White Murder hails from Los Angeles, and I hope they release more stuff in the future. This band came out guns blazing that night. Safety in numbers and real tough chicks were my favorite songs they played. I wouldn't miss out on seeing this band.

Judgement Day and the Polar Shift
Follow @Uhh_yup
I went to a Pinback concert at The El Rey Theater last week, and boy was it awesome. It was especially awesome this time around because I FINALLY got to see Judgement Day live, who opened for Pinback, and they did NOT disappoint. Judgement Day are an amazing three piece string metal band from Oakland, California. The band members consist of brothers Anton and Lewis Patzner, along with Jon Bush on drums. I'm usually not a huge fan of metal bands. I don't know why, but I just never got into it. However, Judgement Day's violently distorted violin and cellos have turned me into a fan. They had so much energy and musical savior faire that it was impossible not to jump up and down in excitement. Their new LP Polar Shift just came out a few months ago, and I suggest you go pick it up!

Obits- Moody, Standard and Poor
Follow @Uhh_yup
It's New Years Eve and I thought I'd put up some good listening to celebrate. Obits are a rock band that originally formed in Brooklyn. The band consists of Rick Froberg (from Pitchfork and Drive Like Jehu!) and Sohrab Habibion, from the band Edsel. I guess they could be considered either indie rock or garage punk, probably some hybrid of the two would be more sufficient. They are playing a couple of shows in January, so check out their website for tour dates. Anyway, Obits' two albums I Blame You and Moody, Standard and Poor are both some really good records, so please give these guys a listen.

Apparatjik are back with a new EP!
Follow @Uhh_yup
Hello everyone, just a few short months ago Apparatjik released their new album, "Square Peg in A Round Hole." It seems as though we have not seen the last of this super band. Now, Apparatjik has returned in full force, alongside Canadian singer Lowell, with a mini album. This band just seems to be getting bigger and bigger, always adding new members. The new EP is called, “If You Can, Solve This Jumble”. You can purchase the EP on Itunes. There is a link to the song "Shake Him Off."

Anne Lenner
Follow @Uhh_yup
This thing (the site) has been going on a while, and I have yet to talk about the woman who sings my favorite song of all time. Anne Lenner was a female singer around the 1930's who did a lot of jazz and big band stuff in her time. Her song There Isn't Any Limit To My Love just has so much heart and soul in it. Musicians lack the heart and passion as they did back in the 1930's. There have been many versions of this song, but I believe Anne Lenner's version is the best. The melodic piano intro, along with Anne's beautiful singing voice, really lifts my spirits every single time I hear it. Seriously, I could listen to it a million times, and I would not get sick of that song. Personally, it is the perfect song to listen to while driving in the rain. Anyway, the link for the song is listed below.

NEW Pinback:Information Retrieved!!!
Follow @Uhh_yup
Well, after five long years, Pinback is back with a whole new album, Information Retrieved. Pinback consists of band members Rob Crow and Zach (ABSIV) Smith, both of which I talk about all the time on this site because they are constantly keeping busy with not just Pinback but other side projects as well. This band is so great because these two people are so different, yet they are able to make some of the best music that is released today. Rob's vocals and unusually catchy guitar arpeggios are always cryptic, yet very clear.. Zach is by far the best bass player out there. I see this band live at least twice a year, and seeing Zach play is amazing. What most people would need two bass players to do, Zach can do without breaking a sweat. Listen to Glide for an example. Being a San Diego native, just like Rob and Zach, listening to Pinback makes me feel like I am at home. With songs like Proceed to Memory, Drawstring, Glide, Sherman, and True North, it is an excellent way to start the fall season.
