One's Sunshower blurs the line of contemporaries
and legends. The band's highly-anticipated sophomore effort

 By
any standard, Bruce
Hornsby has built one of the most diverse and adventurous
careers in contemporary music. Drawing from a vast wellspring
of American musical traditions, the singer/pianist/composer/bandleader

maintaining the integrity, virtuosity and artistic curiosity
that have been hallmarks of his work from the start. Bruce Hornsby

times is that of Canadian heavy metal band Anvil.

Records. |

 Q-Tip
a legendary hip-hop artist is going to come out with a new album
titled Kamaal The Abstract. His long-delayed album, slated
originally for release in 2001 is finally going to drop September
15. A musical hybrid, Kamaal was commendably avant-garde at
the time of its creation. Amazingly, its even more apropos in
2009; given the dearth of musical merit and capable MCs in todays
hip-hop, the time is ever-so-right for Tip. |
 Rising

 After
just one day on the market, Brand
New's album, Daisy, is sitting pretty towards
the top of the iTunes charts at number 4. While chart position
may not be of the utmost importance to a band like Brand New,
it is a testament to the quality of the album they've produced
for the world to hear. With each album review a new comparison
is made between Brand New and the likes of Modest Mouse, Radiohead,
The Jesus Lizard, My Bloody Valentine and a slew of other '90s
alternative and indie rock icons. The reality of Daisy
is that, "the remnants of pop-punk have dissipated"
(StrangeGlue.com) and fans are left with what Slant Magazine
called, "an ambitious leftfield stunner" and an an
album that "explodes without warning" (SPIN). Check
out live information here!

is currently available for free download on Lefebvre’s website.
Releasing a 29-song debut for free is a rather ambitious undertaking

came to fruition, as the Canadian-born Lefebvre recorded the
entire project in Los Angeles while awaiting trial on charges
brought by the US Justice Department.
