Get exicted for fall with Kill Rock Stars
Fall is looking OK to me, now that I’ve laid eyes on the fabulous line up of new releases coming out of Kill Rock Stars this fall. The iconic indie label, formerly home to the likes of Elliott Smith, Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney, is proving that they still haven’t lost their cool.

Dreaming of the woods
On Aug. 4, Nurses released their much awaited debut album, Apple’s Acre, to an eager community of Portlanders. Right now, though, the band is ready for a break.
