Sounds From The Superhighway 13

The Double - Here what the Village Voice wrote about this Brooklyn foursome: "The varied swath of music categorized as noise tends to bank on its ties to the sublime: the ability to induce bewilderment, stupefaction, and awe that traverses fear. But for the Brooklyn-based foursome the Double, noise-metallic clacks and supersonic crackles, crumpling guitars and disappearing vocals-is an accessory that sweetly disorders melody, a union that entreats and welcomes rather than confuses and commandeers." -- Devon Powers, Village Voice

This must be why Matador Records recently signed The Double. They begin recording their major label debut this month.

Nicolai Dunger - A little John Lennon, a little Ryan Adams, and a pinch of Bob Dylan gives us a healthy dose of Nicolai Dunger. In 2004, Dunger released, Here's My Song, You Can Have It... I Don't Want It Anymore /Yours 4-ever Nicolai Dunger. The album received critical acclaim from press both in the U.S. and abroad. Now, during March and April, Dunger will perform brand new music in the multimedia theatre production, "Design & Terrorism," at Teater Bhopa in Gothenburg, Sweden.

North Elementary - Pete Gow of Americana UK wrote the following: "By definition, 'altamericanarootsfolkcountry' calls on traditional production values, instrumentation & song- writing as its focal points, so brand new ideas are increasingly hard to come by. The best we can hope for then is a band that put a bit of thought into it. Take the tools at their disposal as handed down by the 'tag' & transport us to new & interesting locations; Someone to show us the possibilities, not the constraints of the genre. One such band is North Elementary."
