SUB-POP
Out of all the albums released in 2008, Fleet Foxes' self-titled LP, Fleet Foxes, was one of the best, and most memorable. It was met with extreme praise from critics and fans. In a review by Dave Simpson from The Guardian, he finished off his review stating that the album was "a landmark in American music, an instant classic."
The folk rock band from Seattle, Washington, just announced their new album, Helplessness Blues. The album is set to be released on May 3rd from Sup Pop Records.
To go along with the album release, the band will be going on their first tour since 2009, starting in Vancouver, Canada, and ending in London, England.
On what was the kick-off date of their 2010 Spring tour, Vivian Girls visited Allston's Great Scott and pleased a young, bouncy audience. The girls paired up with longtime friends, Male Bonding of the UK, and local band, You Can Be A Wesley (YCBAW), for a superb show on March 8th.
Adorned with a cover photo of Kurt Cobain, the newly released Grunge photo book chronicles the pivotal scene that dominated the music in the Pacific Northwest during the late eighties and early nineties. The photos, comprised from Sub Pop photographer Michael Lavine’s personal collection, provide an unabridged look at the bands that dominated the pivotal scene in American music as well as a look at the group of young fans disenfranchised by an over-commercialized music scene. Lavine contributed to the alternative Sub Pop aesthetic by providing the album art photos for Nirvana, Mudhoney, Dwarves, Screaming Trees, and others.
