RothnRoll reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:
“Kansas city based The Slowdown ain´t your average rock band, even though they´re influenced by bands like Radiohead, Killing Joke and Led Zeppelin…The Slowdown´s got a unique sound. There are traces of psychedelic 70´s rock on their debut album A but also a huge dose of 90´s postrock and pieces of experimental music.”

Columbia Daily Tribune picks Daymoths show as Thursday’s Best Bet:
“As you ease from Thanksgiving dinner into Black Friday, enjoy the soundtrack provided by this Minnesota duo. The husband-and-wife team of keyboardist-vocalist Emily Dantuma and drummer-vocalist Ollie Dodge write songs that are beautiful and atmospheric, drawing from stated influences that stretch across ‘experimental, noise rock and even classical territory.'”

Truth or Sarah reviews The Slowdown’s debut album A:
“The Slowdown’s “A” is definitely not a cookie-cutter rock album…really listening to them draws out the quirks that make the band so special. The band has a strong vocalist that doesn’t need to show off his skills…The band also doesn’t skip out on well-written and emotional lyrics…Their mature rock sound needs no frills–and they definitely don’t need drama to push their sales. Their passion is heard in the production of such an intense roller coaster of a record. Their slick infusion of electronica/synths gives them an additional aspect to admire. The anthemic album is sure to not disappoint.”

Qiet, West Virginia’s raucous art rock 9-piece, will be on the road for a few dates this week:
11/15/2012: Knoxville, TN – Hottrods
11/16/2012: Hendersonville, TN – Southern Appalachian Brewery
11/17/2012: Marshall, NC – Good Stuff Grocery
11/18/2012: Durham, NC – MotorCo Garage Bar
“Qiet loves a bit of theater. From the carnival they held in a bar prior to a spring show to their invitation to a local baker to sleep onstage while they played, Christopher Harris and co. are always searching for a little something extra to make their music pop. That’s true when it comes to their sound, as well. Channeling the likes of Nick Cave, Gogol Bordello and Man Man, they make raucous art rock that’s nothing if not an invitation to dance.” – Paste Magazine

Willamette Live! previews The Peculiar Prezelmen show in Salem:
“Salem’s favorite local band that’s not actually from Salem, The Peculiar Pretzelmen will descend on the Cherry City once again for a night of old-time-y debauchery and hoot n’ hollerin’. Now a two-man band, The Peculiar Pretzelmen have been touring the lower 48 for more than a half-decade with their dusty suitcases full of vaudeville-worthy instruments and a sound that’s not quite historically accurate enough to be considered delta blues, folk or Americana. Whatever they are, they’ve been able to sustain a following in Salem longer than any other, sending attendees home with a smile on their face and a wobble in their step. Don’t fix what ain’t broke.”

Agent Ribbons records a Daytrotter performance today and heads to Iowa for a show tonight at The Space For Ames. The Ames Tribune previews the show:
“Agent Ribbons at The Space: The Austin, Texas, band Agent Ribbons bills themselves as ‘Victorian Pop,’ a phrase that captures the costumed formality of this duo. They play unbelievably catchy tunes and throw a ton of attitude into the mix. They’ve been coming to Ames for years, and they always get a great reception. Their music is weirdly addictive, and their live show is charming to say the least.”
