Chicago is a city of many mustical styles, including a strong tradition of Country, Folk, and Roots music. Local group Big Sadie is one of the bands contributing to modern Americana with skill and grace. Their debut album Keep Me Waiting has just been released on Spindle Tree Records. Songs frpm this album are available in rotation and by request on CHIRP Radio.
Hailing from Milwaukee, WS and Chicago, IL, the band Evacuate the Earth has a message that resonates with more than a few people in these times. A jazzy ambience is colored with the kind of foreboding and dread about what's just around the corner that's quickly become just another day in the USA.
Selections from the band's new self-titled album are available in rotaton and by request on CHIRP Radio.
Chicago Hardcore band 88 Fingers Louie came roaring onto the scene back in 1993 and have been making music in some form (together and apart) ever since. Their new album Thank You for Being a Friend (Bird Attack) is their first batch of new music in 19 years. You can hear cuts from the record by request and in rotation on CHIRP Radio.
Chicago duo Jen Reilly and Eddy Bluma are The New Zeitgeist. Soaring vocals mix with earthy Rock & Country arrangements to form poetic and driving ballads. Music from the band's new album Myths and Mortals is available by request and in rotation on CHIRP Radio.
Chicago band Dream Version's second album is out. It's jangly in parts. iI's progressive in other parts. it's also the kind of smart pop that brings to mind Devo or XTC. Tracks from Fight Fair are available In Rotation and by request on CHIRP Radio.
