Video: Millionyoung’s “Replicants” Rides Chill Waves to Island Paradise

Definitely got some fiery retorts from the comment gallery yesterday regarding our local Millionyoung’s less-than-positive Pitchfork score, so hopefully this video offering dealt by the venerable indie website will fare better. As is already established, Mike Diaz’s digital-analog mix welcomes psychedelic visions of hazy sunsets. So, to move the experience…

Pitchfork Uses Millionyoung to Declare Chillwave Dead

There’s no reason to read too much into Pitchfork’s 3.8 rating of Millionyoung’s Replicants — except that there’s every reason to read too much into it. The Hipster Runoff-invented chillwave is beyond dead in 2K11, and this perfectly fine album produced here in Florida is the unwitting target of that…

Video: Justin Bieber Shot and Killed by TV Police

Life is precious, folks. Love Justin Bieber or hate him, seeing him get gunned down in a police standoff is quite a spectacle. The producers of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation obviously knew this, and last night staged a dramatic end to the life of his troubled character, Jason McCann. Thanks…

Local Motion: To Be Hated – State of Things

To Be Hated State of Things (Self-released) myspace.com/tobehated I’d love to jump in the old time machine and see how I would’ve reacted to this band in my teens. I recognize the fact that the aging punker in me still needs a jolt of youthful adrenaline. Truth be told, To…

Tonight! ANTiSEEN’s Violent Punk Hits the Monterey Club With Force

Royal Bangs Pack an Indie-Glam Wallop on Their Third Album

Royal Bangs frontman Ryan Schaefer once expressed his bewilderment that any artist would want to plant himself in the middle of an already well-defined genre and regurgitate music that’s already been made. It’s not a novel observation, but it’s definitely emblematic of the Knoxville combo’s difficult-to-pigeonhole sound. Its two albums…
