'In the Mood' for One More at Monmouth U
(WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- It was as brassy as Patton. As riveting as Rosie. It could even be said to have helped win a World War. Rising from the dust of the Great Depression, bursting with "can-do" confidence (and a positive energy that flew like the stars 'n stripes in the face of some dark and uncertain times), the music of the 1940s was the big, bold sound of a generation tested by adversity. A sound that linked the corniest corners of popular culture with the wild-card sophistication of the latest trends in jazz. The sound of a nation that was just learning to work shoulder-to-shoulder to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

The Feelies Announce Two New York Dates
The Feelies, are celebrating the release of Here Before - their first album of all new original material in 19 years with select East Coast dates including two recently announced New York shows. The new album touches on different styles from the Feelies' long history while adding new grooves and musical ideas to the mix. Electric and acoustic guitars melt together in archetypal Feelies fashion on songs like "Nobody knows" and "Should be Gone. " Elsewhere there are slabs of driving garage rock like "When You Know" and "Time Is Right" and the down-tempo "Bluer Skies," and harmonically rich "Later On." The new album is being released on Bar/None Records.

Michael Askin Celebrates EP Release In Princeton
by Gary Wien
Michael Askin, a New Brunswick area singer-songwriter, first made an impression in the Jersey Shore music scene when he joined the popular Asbury Park band known as Divine Sign sometime around 2006. At the time, he was known as the "guitarist with mystique" part of the band's expanded lineup which led the acoustic duo towards more of a full-fledged rock and roll sound. He would move on to the indie band My State of Attraction, before deciding to head out on his own. With a stripped down, alt-country/acoustic guitar sound, Askin writes deeply personal lyrics that remind me of classic songs from the '70s.
U.S. Rails Roll Into Asbury Park On Thursday
by Gary Wien
In the summer of 2003, I began working on a new arts and entertainment magazine called Upstage. One of the very first features was on a band called 4 Way Street from Philadelphia who was putting out their debut album and had a show coming up at The Saint in Asbury Park. Comprised of Ben Arnold, Scott Bricklin, Joseph Parsons, Jim Boggia, and Matt Muir, the band was sort of a Philadelphia supergroup of area singer-songwriters. They had a sound that reminded me of Crosby, Stills, and Nash and I jumped at the opportunity to get them in the first issue.
