It truly is the slow season; few shows, fewer releases and snow falling all around. Now of course you can hit up your regular spots with music every night of the week, but many of the venues are taking it easy for a while, and I don't blame them. But, for those that...

Lemuria/Cheap Girls - Split EP (No Idea Records) Lemuria’s sophomore full-length, Pebble, which was released earlier this year, put off many of their fans. I am not one of those people, but I understand that people who wanted to hear the simple pop structure of the first full-length and the EPs that preceded it were not satisfied by the much more...
For the past two years Broadside has steadily been carving themselves a niche in Richmond’s music scene. As is the case with every band in those rocky early phases, it’s taken a ton of hard work and a few lineup changes, but finally the four-piece pop-punk outfit seems to be gaining some momentum--no easy feat in a town (or region, for that...

Jessica Jackson, Doug Fisher from The Rift and The Canary Promise were some of the names we found on the list last week. Familiar faces have been showing up regularly, but their sets are evolving to include new instruments and fresh songs. The ratio of musicians to non-musicians is beginning to even out. It makes you feel like a movement is...
The Sidekicks/Tigers Jaw - Split EP (Shout Out Loud Prints) This split is the Sidekicks’ first release since 2008’s Weight of Air. This band is capable of hitting so many dynamics and styles in a single song that it’s almost unfair. In “Little James,” chugging guitars and a rock solid but laid-back drum beat carry us through most of the song...
The Greater The Risk are a relatively new band around Richmond, but have done a lot in a short time to establish themselves at the forefront of their particular genre.
