I was just turned on to this young, new band that you need to hear–Offramp. Their sound is a little like Pink Floyd or Led Zeppelin meets the Yeah Yeah Yeahs… Sweeping guitars, jazzy keyboards, and violent drums back charged vocals to create an epic, and yet catchy soundscape. My favorite song is probably “Baba Jigida,” though what I appreciate about their sound is its range–”What Now” is a prog rock journey whereas “And You Will Never Hear Surf Music Again” is completely punk. However, all of the music is unified by the smoldering classic-rock flavor running through each tune.

I was lucky enough to get an interview with Kevin Wunderlich, the band’s guitarist, brought exclusively to you glorious Musicologists:

Me: …

I rarely partake in normal family activities. I realize this is unfortunate, but fact. I’m not much for family movie night or Sunday dinners and that kind of thing. However, when my mom told me she was taking my three sisters to see “Where the Wild Things Are” I nearly jumped out of my seat to tag along. Sadly I realized that uh (duh) it’s not out yet. So instead, my mom and sisters went to see “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” (“freaking terrible” I think, was her opinion), and I decided to investigate for some more news involving the Spike Jonze/Dave Eggers/Maurice Sendak project.

We are now less than a week away from release (Friday, October 16) and there’s a collective excitement growing. Movie buffs …

It’s been awhile since !!! (Chk Chk Chk)’s Myth Takes album, but Nic Offer reveals in an interview with Künstlicher that new material is “pretty finished.” Also revealed is an interesting tidbit about Nic Offer’s last job as a MANNY. That’s a male nanny for those of you who aren’t familiar with the lingo.

There aren’t many bands that can whip a tired Sunday afternoon festival crowd into a throbbing mass of pheromones and adrenaline, but NYC by way of Sacramento gents !!! did exactly that at ATP The Fans Strike Back this May, and will undoubtedly wreak the same sexual wrath next Tuesday (7th) when they play Camden’s Electric Ballroom. Over email, exuberant frontman Nic …

Blog partner Not Many Experts teams up with a few bloggers to bring us an interview with the electro-tastic Does It Offend You, Yeah?

“Not completely sure I should have run such a provocatively-named article when, in all honesty, I should be grovelling at your feet and begging for repentance after 2-3 weeks of complete, exam induced silence…. Oh well! Here are the goods – a multi blog interview with electro noise mongers Does It Offend You, Yeah? Many thanks to Nathan, Stoney Roads, Ears of The Beholder,Battery In Your Leg and the bands, who are (time for a shameless plug? oooh yeeeah!) gracing the fantastically curated Wireless Festival on 4th July in London’s expansive environs of Hyde Park. And when I say “fantastic curation”, what I mean is …
