The Cry - The Cry

 
I can't even nearly say how often The Cry was recommended to me from different sources. And they were right.  
The Cry are somewhere between The Beach Boys, Jet, The Ramones and The Beatles, which means there's a highly enjoyable mix of 60s sound, punk and pop harmonies packed in 2 minute songs.

The Cry - The Cry (2011)

1. Down In The City 
2. Modern Cinderella
3. Waiting Around 
4. Sleeping Alone 
5. Forget It 
6. Think I'm In Love 
7. I Wanna Know

9. Alone In the Dark 
10. Be True 
11. Girl (I Wanna Know Your Name) 
12. Such A Bore 

It's available digitally at CDBaby and even on CD (only at No Idea Records - from Japan).

    Greetings from The CRY! I want to thank YOU personally for supporting the band on your blog this past year. Your support has helped us get gigs, distribution, fans, etc..

    Currently we are putting the final touches on our new LP (due for release in Spring 2013! Sample tracks: http://soundcloud.com/thecrypdx/sets/pgh_2songdemo. We are would love to get your reaction to these cuts.

    Can YOU help: In the Spring our debut LP was released on CD and Vinyl by SP-Records (Japan) and Taken By Surprise Records (Germany). In Summer we toured the USA (36 Cities) in the old ford van. In the end we will have played over 70 shows in 2012! In an effort to generate publicity for the 2nd LP, I would like to ask you to consider including our debut LP (“The CRY!”) on your “best of 2012” list and/or posting another piece about the band. Here is a link to the first LP: http://soundcloud.com/thecrypdx/sets/the-cry/

    2012 was also a good year for cutting our teeth on video. In February we released our first official video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EsqUGJ00Ng
    We were thrilled when a fan stepped up and made a great live video with footage from our Summer tour. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=itchsycrtKc

    OK, truth: Rock & Roll is a hard business and we need all the help we can get to make it to the next level (regular touring). PLEASE THROW US A BONE!

    John, Manager
    The CRY!

Jason Falkner - Biography & Discography

There is this kind of musician who is writing, releasing records and performing his own music for more than two decades - but misses the aim that is chart success? The one who creates stunning music and don't get any recognition by public, but by his loyal fans? One of them is Jason Falkner . To sum it up: he may be one of the most underrated musicians of the last two decades. What a pity! Falkner started his musical career with a band called The Three O'Clock but soon he joined a new band of his former bandmate (Roger Joseph Manning Jr.) - Jellyfish . After the success of the first record ( Bellybutton ) he left the band and said he'll be never again a band member again (where he was clearly wrong). His solo career started in 1996 with Presents Author Unknown , followed with the fabulous Can You Still Feel? . I recommend to listen to Can You Still Feel? from start to finish - there's no filler song, no low point. 2001 was a good year for loyal fan...

Rooney - Kids After Sunset (The Lost Album): Interview with Taylor Locke & Ned Brower (Bandmates from Rooney)

Bandmates Taylor Locke and Ned Brower took the time to talk about a special chapter in the history of Rooney : the "lost" second album, Kids After Sunset ! I reached out to both of them separately and asked if they could answer a few questions - check it out below. Over the past 20 years, aplenty songs from this album surfaced online and were shared through blogs, fans, and social media. These were mostly demos or low-quality recordings, but in 2024, a seemingly final version of the album appeared on the internet! Kids After Sunset - cover art concept PPS:   Around 2004, Rooney recorded a significant number of songs for their intended second album,  Kids After Sunset - at least twenty-five tracks, as far as I know. The plan was for most of these songs to be included on the album. However, it is said that the record label rejected nearly all of them, claiming they didn’t like any of the tracks, and instructed the band to start from scratch with a completely new album. I...
