Brick & Mortar EP is Out
BRICK & MORTAR
FRESH OFF LOLLAPALOOZA
BANGS EP OUT NOW
Stream it HERE
Like a dream collaboration between Sleigh Bells, Alt-J, and Arctic Monkeys, Brick & Mortar make beat-heavy rock
that’s both sonically detailed and undeniably infectious.
Watch the video for “Bangs” HERE
“Locked In A Cage” Premieres on Crave
“Keep This Place Beautiful” Premieres on EARMILK
“Terrible Things” Premieres on Pigeons & Planes
“No, I Won’t Go” Premieres on ArtistDirect
Hey gang I just listened to some of Brick & Mortars singles. This one is kind of a hard one to pin down for me. I can hear different influences in the different titles. In “Bangs” you definitely hear the hard rock influence, but then you have some traditional rock feel and alternative rock in another. So the band is kind of all over for me, which isn’t a bad thing, it means they have variety on their EP. What I really enjoy is that no matter what the style you can clearly hear and understand the lead vocals. Kind of hard to do with some of the styles they perform.
Asbury Park, NJ’s Brick & Mortar are Brandon Asraf (bass, vocals) and John Tacon (drums, samples, vocals). The duo may have chosen to name themselves after building essentials, but at this point, they’re veritably blowing up.

Move Fast to See the Evangelion Exhibit
And yet another cool exhibit in Japan. This time it is in Tokyo. In Matsuya Ginza they are having a 1,300 piece exhibit for Evangelion, which coincidentally has a store there for you to purchase your Evangelion merchandise. In the 1,300 piece exhibit visitors will be able to view original drawings, storyboards, landscape layouts, video screens, and life size figures. But with this one you will have to hurry. The exhibit ends August 26. So if you happen to be in the area get there before the week is over. The exhibit is open from 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., with an entrance fee of 1,000 yen ($10) for adults, 700 yen ($7) for college and high school students and free to junior high students and younger. I hope whoever can make it can.
Another Awesome Display in Japan
The broadcast station WOWOW has been displaying a full-size VF-25 Valkyrie at the Minatomirai station in Yokohama. WOWOW is doing this in conjunction with the station’s first time to air The Super Dimension Fortress Macross in HD. Everyone that goes through Minatormirai station is greeted, by this wow factor until September 2. If you happen to be near the station check it out.
Apologies
I want to apologize to everyone out there. I was planning on uploading the latest Episode last Friday, but I was laid up over the whole weekend. So I will be packaging the episode up today to upload and then this Friday we have another Visit that will be posted for all the Indie Music lovers out there. Take care everyone.

Check Out Highs “Summer Dress”
“Summer Dress” is The Highs release for their debut EP. This band has a mix of different sounds that might not be appealing to everyone. This song hits me just right, I enjoy the instrumentals and the lyrics are just extra dressing. Listen below and see what you think and be sure to check out Wild Honey Pie for more Indie music news.

Magic: the Gathering fans and CCG collectors alike will be interested in this bit of news. The next phase of the Magic game will be released in three parts.
