Is Anti-Flag Still Legit?
by Tim Wenger I was a sixteen year old kid growing up in the Denver suburbs the first time I saw Anti-Flag live. Truth be told, I was at the show to see Less Than Jake, I’d never heard Anti-Flag before, but the giant, inverted and reversed American flag that Anti-Flag used as a backdrop […]
Wendy Woo Band- Tipping Point
by Tim Wenger Wendy Woo Band has been working to master the radio-friendly pop-rock style and the new album Tipping Point is a big step in the right direction. Wendy Woo brings an authoritative, but tenderly appealing, vocal command that dominates the group’s sound and her lyricism is very personal- almost as if she is […]
Caramel Carmela Doing Something Fresh For Denver
by Tim Wenger Caramel Carmela just might be the one band that has the ability to cast a different light on Denver’s music scene to the rest of the country. Instead of the usual indie-folk-PBR-fedora scene that can never seem to give Broadway (or Colfax, or downtown) a break, these guys are a modern blip […]
The Raven & The Writing Desk- Some Get Started
by Tim Wenger The Raven and The Writing Desk. Possibly the best band name in Denver, and seemingly the perfect fit for the intellectual dark-pop that the group creates. The new EP, Some Get Started, spares nothing on production value. The sound is clean, the vocals sitting right in the front of the pocket. Always […]
DREAMERS Speak About Summer Plans, Riot Fest
by Tim Wenger DREAMERS. The name could not better describe the band. Self-described “cosmic rock” with imagery straight out of Tom Delonge’s playbook and music that is as upbeat and energetic as you’ll find anywhere in the indie rock sphere. Check out their music at the website listed below and catch them at Riot Fest August […]
Tour Sync Connects Musicians With All Aspects of Their Career
by Tim Wenger ‘Direct To Fan.’ The phrase has a great ring to it, and it is a phrase that transplanted Austin-based business Tour Sync has made their own since even before relocating to Denver late last year. Founder Chas Vergauwen brought his company to Denver last fall seeking to immerse itself in a market […]
OK Go’s Tim Nordwind Talks Hunger Ghosts and How The Band Created a Multi-Media Empire
by Tim Wenger You’ve heard of OK Go. Their music videos are a spectacle in and of themselves, and have come to serve as the perfect representation of a band making a name for themselves purely on their own slightly neurotic, but always hilarious, terms. They perform outstandingly athletic treadmill acrobatics in their music video […]
Red Bull Sound Select Brings Hot Shows for Low Price
by Tim Wenger If you follow the show scene here in Denver, you have probably heard about Red Bull Sound Select and the jam-packed shows they have been throwing around town. Many of Denver’s current hot acts such as The Yawpers, Tokimonsta and others have been featured at the shows. The next event is April […]
In The Whale- Full Nelson
by Tim Wenger In The Whale brings the over-the-top energy of their stage show and momentum of the last year+ spent on the road into their new EP Full Nelson. I went back and listened to the opening track “Radio” again two additional times after a full listen thru of the five tracks and actually […]
Trout Steak Revival- Brighter Every Day
by Tim Wenger In Colorado, there is no shortage of bluegrass music. Quite the opposite in fact, and from what we have seen cross the desk here at CMB the groups that stand out have two things in common- knockout vocal harmonies and the ability to showcase solid lead parts on instruments other than the […]
