On the indoor stage on thursday, July 3, Cincy’s All the Day Holiday lays down the rock, in the vein of Saxon Shore but with vocals–this is pretty intense. At first, I thought they were just like a melancholy Copeland, but this is a great video–and it’s over a year ago. Definitely will be tracking these guys.

In music, music video on June 17, 2008 at 12:15 pmATL’s Ocean is Theory is playing Cornerstone at the New Band Showcase on Sat. I never saw them in Atlanta, as the surburban screamo bands never really hung with the urban indie/garage rockers, for whatever reason. But there’s a lot of energy and sincerity here, and they accomplish the new breed of screamo quite well.
Here’s “a city of water” at the Masquerade last fall.
…cornerstone preview: Lakes “White Flag”
In music, music video on June 12, 2008 at 12:23 pmI’ll look at a whole bunch of bands playing Cornerstone in the lead-up to the June 30-July 5 festival over the next two weeks, hopefully on a daily or semi-daily basis. Here’s info on the Cornerstone Festival in Bushnell, Illinois.
Lakes is the new or kind of new band from Seth Roberts, the former impetus behind Tooth and Nail (and previously Bettie Rocket band–Freeto Boat anyone?) Watashi Wa. I always liked Roberts, I have one or two Watashi Wa albums, but his style really came through with Eager Seas. His voice is distinctive, and now his music goes beyond a simple punk-pop classification into alluring and upbeat modern rock. Earnest seems an apt description for Lakes, but also immensely talented.
Lakes plays Wednesday, July 2nd on the Gallery Stage.
Here’s the vid for “White Flag”:
