Wesley Hartley Exit Interview (Farewell Show Tonight)

Wesley Allen Hartley is leaving.

One of his bands, Dead End Armory, was among the early group of local acts I encountered when I moved to Portland in 2008, and I was immediately drawn to his songwriting and performance, which often took on an highly caustic and unpredictable nature. I love danger in […]

The parade of Portland bands stopping by our pal Travis Harrison’s podcast/video show Serious Business on BreakThru Radio just keeps on rolling. This time around it’s Brenda – by special request of The Milkman’s Union. The guys hit the studio to record 4 songs and talk to Travis the day after playing a show at […]

New Awaas Video – “Burial Ground”

Awaas – a Portland supergroup of sorts with members of Ocean and Confier – recently released a video for their latest song, “Burial Ground,” which the band tells us addresses the “themes of anti-nationalism, disdain for intellectual property, and willful disobedience of the dominant music industry.” Archival footage from this year’s London Riots – […]
