Album Review: Pedro The Lion – Phoenix

After the release of Pedro The Lion’s 2004 record Achilles Heel, the term “emo” would be weaponised as a slur—by outsiders and longtime acolytes alike—and earnest and plaintive music was largely cast aside for the irreverent, angular, and abstract indie rock that would define much of the next decade. Fifteen years after the band’s last release, hordes of music listeners will gather in front of stages throughout 2019 t(including The Bluebird Feb 10) to see Pedro the Lion in support of its long-anticipated return on Polyvinyl Records.

Review: Phoenix – “Bankrupt!”

Phoenix is such a delight. If you are having a crappy day and you need something to pick you up, and keep you up, try out their new album Bankrupt!, which is due out the week of April 22nd.
