From Bel Air Musical Roots Comes One Watt Sun’s “God Wants Us to Fail” Live Album

So, Sean “Guy” Wallis gathered his friends. His friends who have hung over the years, some musicians, artists, followers of his music gatherings at rented houses turned underground venues. The LP is in the works, but tonight was a cherished setting to record an official bootleg, live and raw of six of those songs. The […]

Sea Patterns Release New EP of “Backyard Trysts to Wistful, Aching Hook Laden Wall of Bloody Valentines”

I came upon Sea Patterns in a backwater way. I saw them twice initially in rare acoustic settings. Nice structured pop songs, indie, reminding me of a delightful Shins or something.

C. Milton Wright High School’s Nate Allan Releases a Gem of an Album – “When the Sun Comes Around”

The young dude of the future riding his ten speed, dodging cars. We’d see the wheels at the top of the stairs that lead to the literally underground record shop. The lanky kid would come bopping down the steps, dreads flopping. Electricity he’d bring, energy kinetic to the New York City he’s temporarily transplanted from. […]

They were classmates through Bel Air Middle, they graduated Loyola and Bel Air High respectively. By Kevin Wenger I’ll start by saying that I’ve known Sean since we were in kindergarten together. I’ll get to the music in […]

So Much Music…So Little Time – Harford County Musicians List Their Top Songs of Summer

Brittney Allen’s (singer/songwriter) passenger seat of CDRs listened to on the drive to Ocean City this summer. So much music, so little time…we asked some musicians or music affiliated in Harford County to list (with comments, if so inclined) what they’ve been listening to this summer, this year…so far.

Roger Waters’ Summer “The Wall” Tour Brings Wash of Pink Floydian Memories

Roger Waters’ Summer “The Wall” Tour Brings Wash of Pink Floydian Memories

While reading about Roger Waters’ current summer “Wall” tour, some Floydian memories washed over JD. Everybody was sacked. Teenaged JD sat alone out on the deck in the early morning moonlight, seeing eyes in the woods, soft wind in the willows, then looking overhead into the interstellar galaxies, pumped up swirls and spins through the […]
