Loud, crunchy guitars: check Resplendent piano arpeggios and corresponding string arrangements: check Crisp studio production: check Soaring, haunting Goth-queen vocals: check This can mean only one thing: a new Evanescence album.

Anika @ the Cave in the Russell Industrial Center 10/9/11 (Interview, Review, and Photos)
PART ONE: THE INTERVIEW Anika had worked as a political journalist and as a music promoter before crossing paths with Portishead producer, Geoff Barrow.

Fleet Foxes with The Walkmen in Ann Arbor, 9/29/11 (Review, Photos and Video)
Kevin from tranzcontinental.com After playing a long show Thursday, Fleet Foxes tweeted “Thanks Ann Arbor, we needed that!” Occasionally bands will say they enjoy a particular show more than others, but Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold seemed sincere when he said “This has been one of our favorite shows, ever.” Hill Auditorium in Ann Arbor, Mich. is a spectacular venue in itself, its incredible acoustics reverberating around its shell shaped interior, giving the harmonizing indie-folk group the acoustics their sound deserves. I’ve been told that singing on the stage at Hill is a unique experience, that as the sound leaves the singer it goes out into the dark abyss…
