Interview with The Dead Ships

The Dead Ships exploded onto my radar earlier this year by happenstance; a billing with another band I had reviewed combined with me inadvertently stumbling upon a write-up about them on Buzz Bands LA. I checked out their first EP and loved it, and then…

Shorthanded Goals: MP3′s From The Month Of November

Shorthanded Goals: MP3′s From The Month Of November

I’ve kind of gotten to the point here at Sirens where I can’t write something substantial and deserving of every piece of music that comes my way. This is not because I receive an ungodly amount of submissions (though there are plenty), it’s more because…

Introducing: Darlingside

Introducing: Darlingside

Take the easy listening capability of one of those soft rock hits that played when you were a child, throw away the cookie cutter and sprinkle in some real lyricism, add a helping of folk and maybe a dash of alt-country and you’ve got something…

MP3: Volcanoes – A Knife In The Dark

MP3: Volcanoes – A Knife In The Dark

Dark chocolate. That’s what I hear when I listen to “A Knife In The Dark” by Volcanoes. It’s rich, it’s decadent, and it might make you a little fat. It could also make you ahead of the curve on this band from St. Louis. Volcanoes…
