DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK: ANCHORS

Published by Sam C. on June 22, 2009 in Download of the Week. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , .


Unsigned Georgian indie rockers Anchors are pumping out the kind of catchy, piano-centric pop music that would lift the spirits of former Ben Folds Five fans. The band formed in 2006 under multi-instrumentalist member Seth Hecox’s personal mission to make, “music that should be made, but isn’t being made by many other acts today.” The group as a whole is heavy into making well crafted pop with multiple part harmony vocals. This week’s featured Download of the Week is an Anchors’ tune, “The Legendary Matt.” It’s the kind of song that instantly has your feet tapping, your hands clapping and your heads bopping from start to finish. I dare you to try to keep this track from getting stuck in your head all day. In fact, I double dog dare you. Currently, the band is gearing up for a tour starting July 1st with dates scheduled in Illinois, Kentucky, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama and Florida. If you dig “The Legendary Matt,” be sure to vote for it in the Indie Rock channel this month.

DOWNLOAD OF THE WEEK: PHIL COMMON

Anyone who’s ever described themselves as a singer-songwriter has written their fair share of melodramatic love songs. But let’s be honest, these songs are often drenched in sappy lyrics and often sound the same. So what’s a hopeless romantic to do? They can start by listening to Phil Common’s track “Something So Wrong”. This New York crooner blows a breath of fresh air into the otherwise stale world of boy-meets-girl pop songs, and dares to ask the question, “how can something so wrong feel so right?” Mr. Common delivers a powerhouse anthem for those bitten then conflicted by a pesky love bug with a fantastic fanfare of blistering horns and twangy guitar riffs. If you’re a fan of The Hold Steady and recent Goo Goo Dolls’ releases, you should definitely give the rest of Phil’s catalogue a listen. The track is off to a strong start on OurStage’s pop Channel for this month, so be sure to add it to your favorites!

Whats up? I’m Josh and I am OurStage’s new production intern. (see also: Quinn and Alyssa’s gofer) I’m studying at Northeastern University (GO HUSKIES!) and with all the students moving back to campus I thought I’d put together a little “Back To School Playlist.” Think of it as the soundtrack to your life…ok maybe not, but I mean, if you did, I’d be like flattered and stuff…

“String of Pearls” by Skytone
So, at some point last year I realized I was the only person campus walking to class without headphones securely fastened to my head. After a little internal debate I decided to try it out. The results? Overwhelming success. Jamming en route to my ‘History of Boring 101‘ lecture kept me awake while ‘Professor Windbag‘ droned on about the ‘Ancient Civilization of ‘Whoozawhatavia.’ Just make sure you aren’t listening to Skytone in class. Take it from someone who found out the hard way… (10 extra pages? C’mon professor… What’s that? No, no I don’t want you to make it 20 pages. Sorry sir, it won’t happen again…)

“Re Arrange” by The Perfect Gentleman
Sometimes spontaneous dance parties are an absolute necessity. My advice? Get a disco ball, invite over the cute girl/guy who lives upstairs, turn up The Perfect Gentleman, and get your groove thing on. Or take it to the common room and invite the rest of the dorm.

“Falling Out of Love Again” by Phil Common
::SIGH:: It’s like a universal law of the college experience, your heart is gonna get broken sooner or later, and if you’re like me it will probably be more than once, or twice…or three times. ::DOUBLE SIGH:: But I’ve got you covered. Get a box of tissues, put on some Phil Common, and have a good cry. It’s cool guys, your roommate won’t think any different of you… (NOTE: Experiences may differ)

“Seeds Of Decay” by Divination
So don’t tell my pretentious indie friends that I’m a closet metal head. Sometimes its just been a long day: I’m tired, I don’t want to study, maybe I wanna scream at the top of my lungs? Well I put on some Divination crank it to 11 and ROCK THE F*CK OUT!!! If you can hear the neighbors telling you to quiet down the music isn’t loud enough!

“Kathy’s Waltz” by Geoff Lapp Trio
“I guess it’s time to do homework,” you say? Well, stop watching SportsCenter/Gossip Girl re-runs and get down to business. Chill out to some Geoff Lapp Trio and get educated. Who knows? Maybe you’ll even convince your roommate that you’re some sort of heady intellectual or something…

The weather forecast said there might be rain. But Mother Nature decided she couldn’t let that happen for an event called “Earthfest.” So the clouds parted and provided beautiful weather for an awesome concert.

The Brew kicked things off with their catchy blend of jam-pop, attracting soccer moms and dreadlocked hippie teens with equal success. The Adam Ezra Group followed with a blisteringly energetic set that kept the hippie kids dancing. Tim Blane made the ladies swoon with well-crafted pop tunes and equally well-crafted abs, which he briefly displayed while swapping shirts with an audience member. Cahill got the whole crowd humming along to their award winning sound. And the guys from The Help (who played both the local and mainstage after landing #1 on the Earthfest channel) finished the afternoon off in style, rockin’ the crowd while rockin’ Celtics t-shirts in support of that night’s game vs. the Pistons.
