Tonight: Weatherbox

July 22, 2014

San Diego’s Weatherbox will bring their cosmic brand of punk rock to The Waiting Room tonight in support of their most straightforward record yet, Flies In All Directions. The 13-track album covers a lot of ground, containing songs written as far back as 2006. Fellow buffaBLOGGER Nick Sessanna had an interesting conversation on the subject with the creative force behind the box, frontman Brian Warren. Check out the article here. Joining the flock of Weatherboxes on tour are the spacey emo mavens of Florida band Dikembe. Their newest LP Mediumship is set to drop August 1st, and it sounds promising based on the three songs the band is currently streaming on their bandcamp page. Local support comes from dedicated indie rockers Brother Keep, who have also just finished up recording some fresh material (keep your ears open!), and Del Paxton—a band you should know by now if you’re a fan[...]

Weatherbox

In honor of their show next week at the Waiting Room, we sat down with Weatherbox frontman Brian Warren for an intimate look into his life since the release of their stellar new album, Flies in all Directions. You can catch the band this upcoming Tuesday, July 22 with Dikembe and local support from Brother Keep and Del Paxton. buffaBLOG: You guys are playing in Buffalo on July 22… have you ever played here before?

BW: Um… There are definitely a handful of my favorite bands that are from San Diego… For[...]

Brother Keep Releases To You and Yours

May 6, 2014

Brother Keep are some angry mo-fos! Their new EP, To You & Yours, listens like a middle finger to the “empty girl” who ran off with guitarist/vocalist Nick Sessanna’s former best friend. The four track release opens up with the pop punk “Windy City” and ends with the whimsical “Laces”. In a lot of ways, this recording is classic boy meets girl, girl betrays boy. Just listen to any Senses Fail record. Where Sessanna and company differ from Buddy Nielsen and Senses Fail is that there isn’t any huge climax where Sessanna kills his ex. To You & Yours is more than a revenge record.  It has real sustenance, something that can really hold you over until dinner time. To You & Yours is that ‘Dear Jane’ letter that you drunkenly leave on the nightstand after you have packed the last truck load of your belongings from the studio apartment the two[...]
