David Ryan Strauchman – Vocals, Piano Joshua Withenshaw – Guitar, Backup Vocals Jimmie Deeghan- Guitar, Backup Vocals Matt Black – Bass, Backup Vocals Dennis Wilson – Drums Hometown-Marysville, MI! Michigan band Every Avenue is a musically strong group that produces contagious songs. Sunday night in Detroit the band meshed well together and performed with a zest that is customary of their live shows. Frontman Dave delivered his lyrics in a believable way because he sang with emotion and a relevant degree of earnestness. Their homecoming was well worth the wait. Every Avenue is another example of the the large pool of musicians that Michigan is proud to call their own. SETLIST…

Album Review: Real Estate’s “Days” 10/22/2011 (Score 81%)
Kevin via tranzcontinental.com The New Jersey band Real Estate has just released it’s second full-length album, “Days.” On this follow-up the band continues to combine meditative lyrics and relaxing guitar-pop to create a simple and atmospheric sound. Real Estate is very good at using guitars to create a relaxed ‘beach-wave’ sound. Much of this is is due to the unique style of the band’s guitarist, Matt Mondanile, who also plays guitar under the name Ducktails and might also be remembered for having collaborated with Animal Collective’s Panda Bear. Throughout their record releases, the band has shown a common underlying theme. These simple guitar songs are all reflecting the romanticized way…

Mustard Plug, Obi Fernandez, Green Room Rockers, The Pinstripes, Gunday Monday, and Something to Do @ Blind Pig 10/15/11 (Photos and Review)
Review by Mitch Photos by Alexis If you weren’t at The Blind Pig this past Saturday, the 15th, you missed out. It was a show filled with Ska, Soul, Reggae and Punk music seamlessly transitioning through out the night. Headlining was Mustard Plug, celebrating their 20th year together. Something to Do Gunday Monday The Pinstripes Green Room Rockers Obi Fernandez Mustard Plug It was a first for me (and many others) seeing Wisconsin’s Something to Do, and I for one was impressed by them. Their arrangement of music made me think of fast quirky waltzes and had a Mighty Mighty Bosstones feel with their announcing horns and strong bass—but without the…
