Perhaps the greatest gift Coachella bestows upon its attendees is the feeling that you’re not alone. Schmaltzy, yes, but stick with us. Now, among discerning music fans, a band like The National is far from obscure. They’ve garnered widespread critical praise over five albums, played on national TV and multiple international festivals, and are even [...]

HANNI EL KHATIB + VANAPRASTA @ ECHO
December 15th, 2010 · No Comments
Hanni’s blend of garage rock, soul, and blues is everything I like in music boiled down to its rawest minimum. He writes songs written for “anyone who’s ever been shot or hit by a train” and wields a guitar like a weapon, tearing each song down to its core.

December 30th, 2009 · 3 Comments

August 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment
Philadelphia rapper Reef the Lost Cauze could care less about extemporaneously bruising the egos of opposing rappers—although as an established battle rapper, he’s proven himself rather good at it. In truth, the Philly-born MC just wants to make good music, give props to his mother and maybe have a cheesesteak when he’s finished. This interview by Paul Glanting.
