The Neighbourhood

I think i found hell, I think i found something, I think i found something in my TV screen. That’s an intro from an ear-catchy single titled Female Robbery. Female Robbery is a song by The Neighbourhood, and yes, it’s the first time I heard about them too. You never heard about them, neither do I, but one thing for sure we should give their songs a listen. Nothing more I can tell you about this band besides that they [...]

Timeless Freedom Songs of ‘Soundtrack for a Revolution’

If you haven’t seen the brilliantly-directed documentary “Soundtrack for a Revolution” by the duo Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman… then you should. It is essentially a skillfully assembled historical retelling of the role music played in the Civil Rights Movement of African American in the United States.

Creepy “Another Bed” Music Video by The Twilight Sad

At first impression, it is easy to unintentionally mistaken The Twilight Sad’s sound character as an another band. Most likely, a popular one. But surely, it is impossible not to notice the thick Scottish accent of vocalist James Graham that makes this group a band of its own along with sonic noise of Andy MacFarlane’s shoegazing guitar. Despite their standard template of songs, the band manage to infuse a vigorous stylistic touch of ecstasy into their sound. Early February 2012, [...]

April 29, 2012 / Documentary, Movie

Pada musim panas 2009 lalu, seorang mahasiswa sekolah film bernama Charlie Ruez membuat sebuah dokumenter tentang seorang berandalan (thug) bernama Terry.
