Lizzy Ross Band - Read Me Out Loud

By Simon, on December 11th, 2011

Funding, recording and getting your music into the big wide world and the hearts and minds of Joe public is no easy journey – factor in broken bones and strained budgets and it’s not the ideal platform for the creative process to build from, but despite the obstacles in their path North Caroline outfit the Lizzy Ross Band have succeeded in producing a album worthy of their efforts and were rewarded further when Ross won the accolade of Carolina Music Award for Rock Female of 2011 to bolster the bands reputation.

Pony Boy EP

By Simon, on December 7th, 2011

Pony Boy is the musical vehicle for East L.A. based Marchelle Bradanini , the former front woman of Cali Punk band Bedtime for Toys and 50% of DJ duo Pony Vs Tiger has left behind her punk roots and twin-decks for her debut solo Pony Boy EP, aptly described as junkyard country Bradanini channels her wonderful smoky vocal through a slew of influences to produce something of real gravitas, the tracks were recorded to tape mostly in one-take and produced by Amy Aileen and John Would (Fiona Apple, Warren Zevon, Wanda Jackson), excellent stuff that had this listener reaching for the repeat button over and over.
