Since the 2002 release of The Walkmen's debut, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone, fans and critics have often described them as having the sound of two different bands: one with a chaotic, soaring, and unique live rock sound; and another with a spacious, wide-open recorded sound. This is certainly a fair assessment as their debut album was written and recorded in their own studio before they had ever played a show. The live sound was developed during the two years of touring that took place after its release. Their latest full length offering is a track-by-track cover of Harry Nilsson and John Lennon's drug-fueled Pussy Cats album from 1974.

Mac St. Michael is a singer, guitar player and songwriter from Maine. From 1998 to 2003 he was active in New York City as a founding member of the Lil' Fighters and the Sumerians. In 2004 he retreated to the ocean side and continued writing and home-recording in private. In 2008 Mac is back with his debut solo release. The set is called "Ride the Rong Rails" and is being produced by his old buddy, Walter Martin of the Walkmen. We are excited to share demos of some of the new songs on this page.

Assured-beyond-their-years San Diego quartet the Muslims will definitely get a lot of attention for their name, but we're much more interested in the band's catchy, sorta sloppy and stark post-punk-infused rock 'n' roll. They mix a kind of Strokes-y, and therefore VU, detachment and something that bumps in the night like Hell and his Voidoids (or, better yet, Hell and the Heartbreakers doing "Love Comes In Spurts"). You can also hear a bit of the Stooges -- not just because the band cites 'em, along with the Replacements, as an inspiration -- and early Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (see "Future Rock," "On My Time," etc). Whatever the mix of forerunners, the Muslims find a way to make it their own -- it's kinda uncanny. - Stereogum
