  Goes Cube :: Goes Cube
Dave, Matt and now Kenny make the hardest music going with actaully saying something."The word 'punishing' is so out of fashion, or - better - it was... yes because Goes Cube is reinventing the term, giving it a new meaning." -Deli Magazine

  The Gritty Midi Gang :: Valentine's Day/ Leap Day
A double ep (2 discs) that will soon be noticed due to the most original, catchy songs with the past, present and future all rolled into one. "The Gritty Midi Gang is a promising young Brooklyn band who actually sort of sound exactly how their name would have you assume: ballsy, energetic rock music with well-done bits of electronic embellishment." -L magazine

  Other Passengers :: Is It Nothing to You, All Those Who Pass By?
Other Passengers first emerged on the underground NYC music scene in March 2004 and quickly grabbed attention with their moody and dramatic sound: at times loud and jarring and in an instant moving to the realm of eerie and ethereal space creating a collage of post-punk psychedelia that reflects the dichotomy of the city: isolation among millions. In October 2004, they released their debut EP, Is It Nothing to You, All Those Who Pass By? Other Passengers now have a UK deal, and it will be no time before US listeners wake up.

  Elizabeth Harper :: Elizabeth Harper
"Elizabeth Harper is one of the most interesting artists to surface in recent years in the lower Manhattan scene. With a voice that at times recalls a young Chrissie Hynde in its' softer moments, Harper sets her clever insightful lyrics to haunting melodies using templates, ranging from traditional folk to dreamy Velvet Underground style rock." -David McGee Elegant dream-pop only heard in dreams.

  Boy/Girl :: Boy/Girl EP
Boy/Girl play a creeped out brand of rock with frenetic highs, unsettling lows, and strange sexual undertones blending amplified feedback and Eric Stiner's surreal vocals with absolutely anything drummer Lisa Cusack can reach from her drum kit. Dreamlike and raw it is a rollercoaster of screams, sighs, mumbles and spoken word. Eric's guitar alternates between buzzing melodies and choppy ambient noise while Lisa keeps the ship afloat with eclectic beats and unusual rythm instruments. Order now to get a free boy/girl t-shirt! Include size with order. Limited offer and availability.

  Hull :: Hull
Submerged in cosmic soundscapes, Hull challenges the mind with flowing, off-time fugues and powerful dynamic movements. Brace yourself for an onslaught of eruptive force. Marvel at creation and destruction as mountains move, pillars collapse, and a new world of music is formed in the deafening clap of thunder that is Hull. They were born in the wake of the fire, they still burn!

  Ana Lola Roman :: Lost Boy Suite EP
"Ana Lola Roman's Canon of surreal songs, contradictory stylings, and japanese music box hi-jinks won't let anyone get too comfortable in their seats on any night. She has recently shed her solo stage act, and is now juggling a 3-piece band. Her jungle-y glam-like worlds collide with down to earth bass and drum collages provided for her by Bassist Robert Madler and Drummer Tim Stevens. The collages enable Ana to express and evoke banshees of bygone cauldrons, a Thelonious Monk dancing with Joplin, latin flourishes gone acidic, and a nursery rhyme or three. Her voice teeters on from high Edith Piaf ecstacy to low Bowie-esque swagger, onwards towards a Nina Hagen schizophrenia. Her stage prowess is both withdrawn, unpredictable, and down right delicious." -Pete's Candy Store preview

  Abigail Warchild :: The Edit
"Abigail Warchild may not be a “Brooklyn Band” just yet since they’ve only recently relocated from Boston, but what they lack in geographic credentials they make up for with a deep and steady rock sound that exhales soul on every beat. They ain’t jangly, angular, swirling, or any other adjectives that so easily describe a large crop of the bands circulating around the city today. Most refreshingly, they don’t appear to be ironic at all." -The Deli Magazine
