kevin devine – nevermind [nirvana cover album tribute] (2011)
25 09 2011
let’s just take a second to lol at that album cover and the “awesome” 7 minute photoshop job i just performed. that being said, kevin devine’s been kind enough to record a cover of nirvana’s seminal grunge classic, nevermind, in honor of its 20th anniversary. love it.

kevin devine – off screen (2011)
15 08 2011
monday blues? let kevin devine take advantage of that as spin drops an mp3 from kevin’s new album, between the concrete and clouds. i’m getting a 90s vibe from this – and that’s mainly because the opening riff reminds me of fuel’s “sunburn” either way, devine is back and his new album drops september 13th. let’s get excited.

interview: river city extension (2011)
24 03 2011
Well, River City Extension are relatively new — both to our readers and to us personally. After catching them open for the Get Up Kids, we took a liking to their music and their overall energy as a band on stage. They seemed to be having more fun than most bands, and we can definitely get down with that.
While the band’s currently out on tour with another one of our favorites, Kevin Devine, members Joe Michilini (Guitar/Vocals), Nick Cucci (Guitar/Percussion/Background Vocals) and Mike Costaney (Drums) sat down with Sunbear and I to discuss many things, including the current tour, SXSW and their general outlook on music and the industry they’re in. I have to say that this was one of the most engaging and fun interviews we’ve done, as these three fellas are some of the most humble and genuine folks we’ve ever met.
If they ever come to your town, do yourself a favor and see their show. Buy their record, The Unmistakable Man, and read the interview before the jump.

show recap: kevin devine/river city extension (march 20, 2011)
23 03 2011
photo credit: weworemasks
After an exhausting 3 and a half days in Austin, TX for SXSW, both Sunbear and I trekked our way to Fitzgeralds for the proverbial end of the festival. As we were sure that the bands involved would be tired (they all looked beat) and likewise with us, we mustered up the effort and ended up seeing one of the better touring lineups in a few months.
Hit the jump for the recap.

video: bad books – you wouldn’t have to ask (2010)
8 11 2010even though music videos like this are complete tributes to the videos of the late 60s, the angsty kid in me always reverts to my anchor as a comparison. what’s that anchor, you ask? if you knew me, you’d know it’s nirvana’s “in bloom.” and if you knew me, you also wouldn’t have to ask…
…had to.

kevin devine + manchester orchestra – bad books (2010)
17 08 2010
i’ve held off posting about this since it had been a working idea for some time. since then, the camps of kevin devine and manchester orchestra have joined forces to create somewhat of a supergroup in bad books, who will be releasing an album on october 19th. definitely looking forward to this, as i can’t imagine a bad output.
in any case, head over to their FB page to listen to their first single, “you wouldn’t have to ask.”

show recap: thrice + kevin devine (july 6, 2010)
7 07 2010
it’s no surprise that i went to see thrice for a whopping 19th time last night. it’s not so much the fact that they’re “pretty much” my favorite band of all time, because that would be hard to narrow down to just one group. but for the longest time, they have been the most consistent and best band to invest time and effort into. i’ve loved part to all of their releases, most of which found their way into my top 20 in their respective release years and i can say with a straight face that they’ve never let me down live. this time, they brought around kevin devine and his god damn band, as well as bad veins and the dig.
hit the jump.

thrice – i want you (she’s so heavy) [the beatles cover] + summer tour dates (2010)
12 05 2010
a few weeks ago, thrice had to unexpectedly drop off their co-headline tour with manchester orchestra due to a family emergency. according to the band, that grim situation worked out for the better, so things are looking up for the crew. in a few weeks, thrice will embark on their own headlining summer tour that’ll take em across the us with the likes of kevin devine, bad vein and the dig. i haven’t the slightest clue about the latter two, but kevin devine + thrice is a guaranteed good time. not to mention, this will be thrice’s first proper tour.
also, the band is running a contest here, where you can win a bunch of shit. but more importantly the first so and so entries get a free .mp3 of thrice covering the beatles’ “i want you (she’s so heavy).” eventually, the downloads will run out, but i’m here for you.
tour dates after the jump.

kevin devine vs. manchester orchestra – i could be the only one (2009)
25 01 2010
this is awesome. two bands/groups of friends covering each other’s songs. takes me back to 2004′s limbeck/motion city soundtrack split. don’t ask why that’s the only example i can come up with. anyway, kevin devine cover’s manchester’s “the only one” and man o does their take on kevin’s “i could be with anyone.”
there’s always a clear victor in cases like this so i’m gonna go ahead and award kevin devine the prize.
head over to spinner to get the scoop on the “project.”
