The Street Dogs hail from Boston, MA, playing in your face, anthem style punk rock. Their new 13-track album, Fading American Dream, finds the Street Dogs pushing their creative boundaries, not only sonically, but also in the albums dominant political messages. Be sure to catch them live at El Corazon on August 5th.
Musicwerks Seattle presents a special evening of Goth and post punk influenced music November 19th at El Corazon in Seattle. The lineup is headlined by the 80s Goth / New Wave pioneers Gene Loves Jezebel and includes Seattle favorites and epiTUNES Seattle Local Artist of the Day Romance, as well as Kirk Brandon and The Liars Club.
Romance is definitely a band to keep an eye. Michael Ribagain's bass lines are the driving force on songs such as "Paris is Burning" and "Guiltless." While Drew Jackson's baritone vocals, a cross between Peter Murphy and Killing Joke's Jaz Coleman, add a dramatic flair that truly makes Romance's songs standout in today's modern rock scene.
The band continues to build on their loyal following in the Northwest and appear set to make a major impact on the national scene. Their post punk sound could easily fit into an early 80s playlist alongside bands such as Killing Joke, Gang of Four, and even Bauhaus but also fits nicely alongside current New Wave revivalist bands such as The Killers, The Bravery, and The Faint. Definitely worth checking out.

It was always my opinion that if you were able to play the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, you made it, so to speak. Apparently, that’s just what the Seattle based four piece Death Cab For Cutie have done. Playing their brand of pop/rock, with swirling melodies, and guitar crescendo’s on songs like, “The New Year “ and “Your Heart is an Empty Room.” They brilliantly mixed in piano, acoustic guitar, shakers, and electronic drum pads into some of the songs as well. There wasn’t a lot small talk, patter in between each song either as DCFC jumped right into each song with full force. The Greek is one of the best open air venues in LA, and as singer Ben Gibbard noted it’s where Neil Diamond recorded “Hot August Nights”. The band even threw in a Sonic’s cover near the end of their set and had opening band Mates of State join them on the last song of the night.
