Here at write.click.cook.listen, we’ve been watching the “sound movies” that Shannon Curtis’ sensational pop tunes have created for some time. It started when she lured us in with a wedding scene in “Brightest Light in the Room.” It was an ode to the love of two women who found each other in the army (it just happened that the track went great with corn and shrimp [...]
“I was just a kid when I found out how cruel the world could be faded pictures from forgotten times of endless misery. I lit a candle but I could not know why.” -Dillinger Four (from their song “Hand Made Hard Times Handed Back”) A few years back there was a kid I came to know through three second intervals in the school cafeteria. I [...]
Lola King & the Kickstarts aren’t your typical indie rock band. First, they seem to have a sense of humor. I’m talking funny lyrics, performances in cars and pink guitars in the laundromat. There is more going on than the brooding, holier than thou, pseudo coolness that permeates way too many bands. Second, Lola puts her lyrics together in a way that is unparalleled in [...]
Misty Miller is a dusty voiced Londoner who has been making music since the age of eight. She recorded her first album at 15, releasing it in 2011. Earlier this year she released her debut EP Girlfriend. Her follow-up is the brand new single, “Anything For You”, which is the first one from her new EP. “Anything For You” is steeped in the kind of electric [...]

But it seems to me that the heart is a bit too complex to be summed up in a catchphrase.” -Dean Povinsky (Lead Singer of Wildlife) Wildlife’s new album …On the Heart was released March 5th. It is an album dedicated to the most vulnerable and vital organ in the human body. It is an album of realization, [...]
A few years back I wrote about the wonderful deep dish Sicilian pizza that is offered in a Wesley Chapel strip mall. After every half marathon I return to La Prima Pizza to ease the pain and celebrate a (hopefully) successful 3 months of training. Now that I have pretty much removed dairy from my diet I was looking for another way to continue to [...]
On June 10th of last year, a visit to Ella’s Americana Folk Art Cafe provided me with two things: some of the finest fried green tomatoes these tastebuds have ever enjoyed and an Edward Sharpe remix by Little Daylight. In time, the fried green tomatoes faded to just another food memory in a long line of them. But Little Daylight wouldn’t go away. They followed [...]
The 1975 aren’t ones to rest on their laurels. Just a few short months after their Sex EP went straight for the g-spot (which came a few short months after their Throwdown EP hit the ring), the band is prepping for their next one. Music For Cars EP is set for release on March 4 and will mark the third and final EP leading up to the band’s debut [...]
Americana Folk-Artist Jay Nash recently emerged from his home studio (nestled somewhere up in the great state of Vermont) with a new album in tow. Letters from The Lost is an album free of constraints. His own studio meant less pressure and more time to experiment. New sounds and instruments found their way between the CD sleeve including a mandolin, baritone electric guitar and ukulele. The result is [...]
