Jumbo Loves to Play

References to the Northeastern Mexican city of Monterrey as “the Seattle of Mexico” have been around as long as the term “grunge.” It’s hard to talk about the Mexican rock scene or Latin alternative music without mentioning many of the American and British bands like Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails or The Flaming Lips that have influenced them. Monterrey’s close proximity to the U.S. –only…
Indie Spotlight: Republic of Letters

Republic of Letters’ sound is a clash of radio-ready Brit-pop and atmospheric indie rock. Compared to bands like Editors, White Lies, Snow patrol, and Coldplay, the band just finished recording their full-length debut with producer Brian Karscig (Louis XIV, Nervous Wreckords). The band has humbly gained much momentum since their first EP, "Spirit or a Ghost," which was…
Lifehouse’s Jason Wade Comes of Age

Conversationally, Jason Wade is a thoughtful, eloquent guy. At 29, he delivers his words with the kind of self-awareness that one might expect from someone nearing a third decade of life, having survived the perils of personal development in his teens and twenties, emerging on the other side as smart and well-rounded. He’s affable, grounded, and exceptionally honest. In a world where we’ve grown accustomed to chalking…
Martin Terefe, Making the Personal Professional

Martin Terefe enjoys having a career that includes both writing songs and producing records, often for fellow songwriters. “Sometimes when you produce stuff you grow as a songwriter,” he observes. “And when you are writing songs, you get ideas about arranging stuff and putting things together where you get your message across. It’s definitely a beneficial combination of two things.” The Sweden native and current London resident…
Indie Spotlight: Dynamite Walls

Lyrics and melodies are delivered through lead vocalist and writer Tom…
Morgan Page Has a Message: Believe

Indie Spotlight: Imagine Dragons

Since the band’s earliest configuration in late 2008, Las Vegas’s Imagine Dragons has managed to win back-to-back battles of the bands, open for multiplatinum recording artists in front of 10,000+ crowds, and earn the respect of dedicated fans across the country. Fusing synth-laden Arcade Fire-style rock with the pop sensibilities of Coldplay, the band offers a live show worthy of their hometown, prompting the…
Hollywood Undead

The group may be called Hollywood Undead, but they’ve proven that music is very much alive in the digital age. When they first put up their music on a My Space site, they jumped from 10 friends to thousands in just one day. Within a week, they hit #1 on the My Space top bands chart, leaping ahead of such established acts as Nine Inch Nails,
Motel

With their single-word moniker and an energetic style that incorporates the rhythms of pop, punk and alternative, Mexico City-based Motel heralds a new dynamic in the ever-accelerating currents of modern Latin rock. Their hooky single “Dime Ven” was the precursor to their self-titled Warner Music debut album, a well-received introduction that earned songwriter Rodrigo Dávila a 2006 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Rock Song and honors for…
Danielle Evin

Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Danielle Evin’s eponymous debut CD is a rich collection of songs, melodies and stories that linger with the listener long after they are heard.
