It just happens one day. All of a sudden, a band has been around long enough to put out its 13th studio album and get tribute paid to it in the same year. And then again in the next. It's not an easy feat to stay so productive for so many years (and inspire the same in so many others), but then neither is applying Robert Smith's make-up through it all. (We kid because we love, Bob!)... read more

Unassumingly excellent moonlight romps under the milky-way nightHaving delved into glossier synth-pop on Night of The Furies, The Rosebuds have returned with guitars cranked, reverb in the mix and a warmth and twirl in their arrangements that recall The Church. “Cape Fear” glides by like a silenced black motorcycle, while “Border Guards” is like The National without as much languid self-interest.

Found in: Shameless Self-PromotionThe Rosebuds to tour on Life Like
The term Team Love might already be claimed by Conor Oberst's record label, but it's also pretty applicable to describe bands whose members' musicianship and personal lives are delightfully compossible. The Rosebuds' Ivan Howard and Kelly Crisp are, yes, a couple (see similar inclinations in Mates of State, KaiserCartel, Quasi, The Handsome Family) whose fourth album, Life Like, comes this Oct. 7 from Merge Records. They're also a two-headed tour-machine whose fall will include as much nuzzling on the open road as it will, well, nuzzling on the stages played along that road.... read more
