Talk Talk: Justin Kennedy of Army Navy (Part 1)

Travis SchneiderReally, it's almost embarrassing how much I like LA-based pop band Army Navy. After seeing them open up for the Shys last October at Detroit Bar, I pushed their self-titled record (released on their own label, Fever Zone Records) on anyone that would listen. Songs like "Slight of Han ... More >>

Pavement to Reunite, Let the Speculation Begin!

​In the '90s, Pavement were the band to mention liking if you wanted to sound cool, even if all you really knew was "Cut Your Hair." There's probably no current act that fills that role--thanks to the Internet, everyone knows every band and is sick of them after a couple of weeks.They haven't play ... More >>

​So WrongDrug Lifehttp://www.wearesowrong.comThere's something pretty unprepossessing about this release, not least because the cover makes it look like the band might as well be called Drug Life and the album called So Wrong.
