Yuck, Porcelain Raft Wednesday, October 12 at the Black Cat (Washington DC) Traveling north of Richmond for a show in D.C. is a trek I’ve made many times; you can only decide post-show if the two hours in traffic was worth it. When I drove up on Oct. 12 to see Yuck at Black Cat, my expectations were up in the air. It’s never easy for a lo-fi band...

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...
