Album of the Week: Hop Along – <I>Bark Your Head Off, Dog</I Album of the Week: Hop Along – Bark Your Head Off, Dog Bark Your Head Off, Dog by Hop Along Philadelphia indie rock act Hop Along has creative versatility beyond their contemporaries. The band amplifies the singer-songwriter aesthetic with powerful sounds glistening with genuineness. It’s a mix of folk, ‘90s alternative, punk and power-pop that soothes the senses. Their fourth album Bark Your Head Off, Dog came out on Apr 6 via Saddle Creek Records and is a testament to their musical evolution. There’s a certain fearlessness in each song. What makes this album different from Hop Along’s previous releases is the involvement of string instruments. The violin throughout the album is a fantastic addition. Frances Quinlan’s vocals combine with guest backing vocalist Chrissy Tashjian (from fellow Philly act Thin Lips) for amazing harmonies. Frances’ brother Mark is the anchor on drums while Joe Reinhart provides perfect chords on lead guitar. Bass guitarist Tyler Long keeps it all together with solid bass lines backing everything up. Usually when a band shifts towards acoustic instruments, a drop-off in emphasis is expected. Hop Along maintains their trademark intensity in their new album, proof of how talented they are. There’s also a fine balance between the electric guitar riffing and the stripped-down tones. The variety of volumes makes for a captivating listening experience. For further examination, give a gander to my top tracks off of the Album of the Week: “Prior Things” is a gem that’s also a prime example of the string instruments’ resonance; the violin gives a dose of artistic beauty while Quinlan’s lyrical melodies are stunning. Starting off with a somber vibe, “Not Abel” progresses into a forceful jam due to the chorus emloying those harmonies mentioned earlier. Reinhart’s techniques in “How Simple” are impeccable: he rips a solo halfway through that’s a wonderful addition. Hop Along will be playing in New England twice with a gig at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke, MA, on May 2 and another at the Royale in Boston the following night. While you’re at the show, grab a copy of the new album. The ears will get the experience of listening to a kickass band that’ll make you an instant fan. Bandcamp: hopalong.bandcamp.com Facebook: facebook.com/hopalongtheband Interview: Nick Panken from Spirit Family Reunion Nick Panken from Spirit Family Reunion Folk music, when done right, has an exuberance that stands on its own. There’s an organic quality that’s infectious and people will start to dance while basking in a joyous atmosphere. Brooklyn’s Spirit Family Reunion thrives on that feeling. They can play anywhere and provide a memorable experience to an attentive crowd. As part of the Westerly Sound concert series, they’ll be taking the stage at the Knickerbocker Cafe on Apr 14. I had a chat with co-founder, guitarist and lead singer Nick Panken about loving Creedence Clearwater Revival, managing changes of membership within the band, hundreds of people singing a chorus to a different song than the one Spirit Family Reunion is playing and hoping to put out a new album later in the year. Rob Duguay (Motif): Spirit Family Reunion began as a collective started by you and Stephen Weinheimer at a bar you both used to work at in Brooklyn. Which bar was it and what would you say was the spark that started the musical bond between the both of you? Nick Panken: We worked at a bar that’s in the lower east side of Manhattan called Pianos. Originally, the musical bond was that we’re both fans of Creedence Clearwater Revival. We basically put together a group to play as a house band so we learned a bunch of creative covers. That’s how it originally started. RD: That’s cool how it started out of a mutual love for CCR, I’m a fan of them myself. There’s definitely a noticeable influence in your band too, especially with how the harmonies are and the amount of energy in the music. NP: Yep. RD: The band has had a bit of a rotating cast of musicians that at one point included Providence musicians Dylan and Noah Block-Harley. How do you manage the changes within the band? Do people weave themselves in and out? NP: I wish I had a better system (laughs). I don’t really know, it always seems to work itself out. We’ve had a few times where we had a lot of tour dates during a really busy year and we had to make sure we had a crew that’s on board to tour a bunch. Other times when we were doing shorter tours for more local shows, a lot of folks would hop on and play with us. I think at this point there’s probably around a dozen folks who have played in the band at one point or another. Sometimes people hop back in and hop back out. It makes it a little complicated in terms of consistency but it’s also fun that we can keep it fresh with different people bringing different things to the band. RD: I know a few other bands that have a similar structure where people come and go while having a core group of people. I’ve always wondered how it’s handled with different musicians coming into the fold. Spirit Family Reunion has performed in houses, music venues and festivals all over the place. When you play music to an audience, do you have a preferred setting? NP: It doesn’t really matter to us. If we know we’re going to be playing someone’s living room, we’re not going to bring the full drum set and the amplifiers. As long as we can organize the instrumentation in a way that’s appropriate for the space and what kind of sound we need to project, I think the only thing that’s important is having a captive audience. Also, generally speaking, the smaller the space then the easier it is to connect with people. We were on this European tour this past summer where we played on some pretty big stages, as big as any stages we’ve ever played. Some of them were at festivals and some of them were at normal clubs, but one of the most fun shows we had was in this little cafe outside of Hamburg, Germany. It was a beautiful room, everybody was sitting in chairs and we played totally unamplified for a couple hours. The room was full of people singing to songs they didn’t know (laughs). It was a pretty joyous atmosphere. RD: That sounds awesome. From touring Europe versus touring in America, do you notice any differences between the folks that come out to see you guys play? NP: While in Europe, the fans might interpret what we do as kind of exotic. Our style is purely American with it being an extension of our country’s music and culture. People are excited in Europe and it seems to be a little bit different to them because of where it’s coming from. It also depends on which country you’re in, there’s a whole different culture. If people are willing to dance or if they’re good dancers, or if they want to clap along to the song – on-beat or totally way off-beat – getting used to what an audience is going to be like in a new country is definitely a real thing. I remember this one time we were either playing in Denmark or Holland at this festival, and they were really enthusiastic and they really liked us. It felt like we were connecting with them, and we came on stage for the encore, and Stephen started shaking the tambourine to the song. The crowd started clapping along to the beat and then together they started singing the choruses to John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.” We fell over cracking up on the stage because nothing like this had ever happened to us and it was totally random. I’m pretty sure that song does not start with a tambourine being shaken. RD: No it doesn’t. NP: I have no idea what that was about but that would never happen in America. RD: It seems like it was a wild experience. How many people would you say were doing that? NP: It was probably a few hundred people there who were doing it. It was pretty funny. RD: After the show in Westerly, what are the plans for the band during the summer? NP: I’d like to get back in the studio this year. We have a new record that’s completed that we’re trying to figure out how we want to release it. I’m hoping to put it out later this year, but it may or may not happen. We’re kind of moving at a different pace these days than we have been in the past. It’s nice to take that space in time to spend the energy on other things or on writing new material. At some point, we will be putting a new record out and hopefully we’ll be playing some more shows.

MPS stood as a Mecca for Oscar Peterson, George Duke, the Singers Unlimited, and a host of talented young European discoveries. Situated in Villingen, in Germany’s Black Forest region, for some two decades the MPS studio wrote pioneering jazz history through its high- level recording technique and unmistakable aesthetic. Today, the “most perfect sound made in the Black Forest” continues to perk up the ears of analogue fans worldwide. Next, a historical sketch. The label’s actual birth was in 1968, but it had a colorful prelude that entails the famous initials HGBS. As co-owner of the electronics manufacturer SABA, industrialist Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer (HGBS) was not only an ardent audio engineer; he was also an amateur pianist who was crazy about music. In 1958 he built a recording studio above the living room in his villa. It contained the most sophisticated audio equipment available at that time. When Oscar Peterson came to Zurich to perform a concert in 1961, Brunner-Schwer lured Peterson to his villa to play the first house concert in the Black Forest.

  • Sean Mcculloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums
    Sean McCulloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums Utter and complete reinvention isn’t the only way to destroy boundaries. Oftentimes, the most invigorating renewal in any particular community comes not from a generation’s desperate search for some sort of unrealized frontier, but from a reverence for the strength of its foundation. The steadfast metal fury of PHINEHAS is focused, deliberate, and unashamed. Across three albums and two EPs, the Southern California quartet has proven to be both herald of the genre’s future and keeper of its glorious past. The New Wave Of American Metal defined by the likes of As I Lay Dying, Shadows Fall, Unearth, All That Remains, Bleeding Through, and likeminded bands on the Ozzfest stage and on the covers of heavy metal publications has found a new heir in PHINEHAS. Even as the NWOAM owed a sizeable debt to Europe’s At The Gates and In Flames and North America’s Integrity and Coalesce, PHINEHAS grab the torch from the generation just before them. The four men of mayhem find themselves increasingly celebrated by fans, critics, and contemporaries, due to their pulse-pounding brutality. Make no mistake: PHINEHAS is not a simple throwback. PHINEHAS is a distillation of everything that has made the genre great since bands first discovered the brilliant results of combining heavy metal’s technical skill with hardcore punk’s impassioned fury. SEAN MCCULLOCH has poured his heart out through his throat with decisive power, honest reflections on faith and doubt, and down-to-earth charm since 2007.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability.

  • GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    GRAM PARSONS LYRICS Compiled by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. As performed in principal recordings (or demos) by or with Gram Parsons or, in the case of Gram Parsons compositions, performed by others. Gram often varied, adapted or altered the lyrics to non-Parsons compositions; those listed here are as sung by him. Gram’s birth name was Ingram Cecil Connor III. However, ‘Gram Parsons’ is used throughout this document. Following his father’s suicide, Gram’s mother Avis subsequently married Robert Parsons, whose surname Gram adopted. Born Ingram Cecil Connor III, 5th November 1946 - 19th September 1973 and credited as being the founder of modern ‘country-rock’, Gram Parsons was hugely influenced by The Everly Brothers and included a number of their songs in his live and recorded repertoire – most famously ‘Love Hurts’, a truly wonderful rendition with a young Emmylou Harris. He also recorded ‘Brand New Heartache’ and ‘Sleepless Nights’ – also the title of a posthumous album – and very early, in 1967, ‘When Will I Be Loved’. Many would attest that ‘country-rock’ kicked off with The Everly Brothers, and in the late sixties the album Roots was a key and acknowledged influence, but that is not to deny Parsons huge role in developing it. Gram Parsons is best known for his work within the country genre but he also mixed blues, folk, and rock to create what he called “Cosmic American Music”. While he was alive, Gram Parsons was a cult figure that never sold many records but influenced countless fellow musicians, from the Rolling Stones to The Byrds.
