Ad Hoc Airstrip: "Sleepy"

Airstrip: "Sleepy"Feb. 5, 2013 by Brad Stabler There are two kinds of breakup records: the solemn, somber experience when that first wave of loneliness kicks in, or the record that makes the listener want to just party as a one man wrecking ball.

Airstrip lands with intensity at Kings

We love watching Airstrip play live too.

Celebrating the release of its debut LP, Airstrip's live show couldn't match the barrage of sound that powers the album, but its players achieved similar intensity with a more minimal approach.

Matt from Airstrip will be live on WKNC 88.1 FM today at 5:15 PM, talking about "Willing". For those outside the Triangle, listen online at wknc.org!

The eleven hundred residents of this lingering gold-rush town, mostly mechanics and carpenters and retail clerks in other places, wake with the sun and end their day with a walk to the aluminum mailbox bolted to a post at the edge of their yard.

Airstrip, “Pleasure Center” MP3 « The FADER

Stream "Pleasure Center," the opening track from Airstrip's debut full-length 'Willing' at The FADER! Release date is February 5th.

“Pleasure Center,” the very big-sounding opener of Airstrip’s debut LP, makes a pretty strong case both for and against the pastime of partying like a rock star every night. The song’s two-word refrain, good feeling, accrues layer upon layer of irony as frontman Matthew Hill details the endless trai...

Caltrop

caltrop's midwest/westcoast tour w/ Black Skies starts today 10/31 in Lexington, KY at Al's Sidecar! All dates below.

The quartet, hailing from Chapel Hill, was formed in 2005. With thick, fuzzed out riffs leading the charge on most of their songs, Caltrop exists at the improbable intersection of Sabbath and the Allman Brothers Band, creating detuned, psychedelic dirges with a soulful Southern blues/rock inflection...

A new act for Melissa Swingle's singular sound

A new act for Melissa Swingle's singular sound

Her songs are like short stories. She's got a mournful voice that tends to make the jokes she cracks even funnier. And while she calls herself a skinny white girl, she plays guitar like she's channeling the soul of a Mississippi bluesman.

Caltrop: Ten Million Years and Eight Minutes - album review

"The sound goes from delicate, melodic and free to loud, majestic and just bludgeoning. Yet there is a subtlety that you rarely find anymore in Metal and Rock. A wish to understate what we hear, a calmness that was understood years ago but now has slipped away sometimes." - Louderthanwar

Sludgy heavy rock band Caltrop released their latest album a few months ago & although it’s taken a while for us to get round to reviewing it this is definitely a case of “better late than never”.
