• Minus The Bear

  Out of Seattle, Washington, comes Minus the Bear! They Got together in 2001 and have released four albums since then. Their latest album: Planet of Ice was released in mid 2007 and happens to be the CD spinning in my car this week Check out the tracks 'Throwin' Shapes' & 'Knights' from Planet of Ice. These guys are categorized as "alternative" but i'm not sure of what that even means any more. So If you tend to like indie rock you'll definitely approve of MINUS THE BEAR's hypnotic and melodic creations which, in my opinion, fall into a sub-category of that genre. Scope them out, they are currently touring the U.S., and let me know if you're diggin' their jams.  Your Host, Drew Garrett Posted May 24 2008, 04:21 PM by Drew with 3 comment(s) Filed under: drew, Indie Rock, Minus The Bear
• The RACONTEURS.......SHRED!

  The Raconteurs is their name and shreddin' is their game. Jack White(The White Stripes) and Songwriter Brendan Benson teamed up in 2004 to put together this rockin' squad... Since then The Raconteurs have recorded two incredible albums: Broken Boy Soldiers & Consolers of the Lonely, and have earned a solid reputation that only true musicians deserve. They record an effective album and they sound SOOO SICK live! For starts check out the track SALUTE YOUR SOLUTION off the Consolers of the Lonely album! Let me know what you think, i'd be dissapoited if you didn't! Peace! Your Host, Drew Garrett Posted May 04 2008, 10:57 PM by Drew
