Lazy and Darbotz on Ubiq eL

This is one gorgeous-looking pair of Ubiq eL, customized by artists Lazy and Darbotz. Lazy contributed his skills on the strap with some pleasant carved patterns. Whereas Darbotz supplied his artistic talents on the inner sole and the casing with his impressive artwork. Curious to know what I'm flattering about. Check it out here!

Boo And Boo Too - No Tempo

"Noise-obsessed, dark, but ultimately poppy, Boo and Boo Too play indie rock buried beneath the squall of Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine combined with the loose abandon of Pavement. The band's live shows climax with swirling, blown-out whitewashes of sound, amps buzzing and guitars screeching." - Fanatic

Boo and Boo Too is an indie noise rock band hailing from Kansas. The band released a self-titled EP in 2007 and is expecting to release their first full length album entitled No Tempo, probably release in mid-2008, with Ironpaw Records.

Put it this way. The new PAVEMENT returns bigger, bolder,louder and noisier! Plug this to the stereos in a joint filled with 90s-inspired rockers, and you will get an earthquake caused from swarming footstomps and sky high jumps. It's just irresistible.

Bridges and Powerlines - Ghost Types

Bridges and Powerlines is an indie rock band from New York. Their first full length debut album entitled Ghost Types are scheduled to release on April 22 under Citybird Records.

The band cited their influences from bands like Pavement, Spoon, Neutral Milk Hotel, Wolf Parade, Built To Spill, Guided By Voices, The Hollies and The Wrens.

"Writing the songs for their debut full-length, Bridges and Powerlines began to notice a recurring motif: the male struggle for maturity despite the persistence of boyhood impulses. The stories that populate "Ghost Types" include a diverse collection of such conflicted protagonists: a depression-era film director, a Bangladeshi cab driver, the captain of a doomed steam ship, and a host of others." - read the complete bio at the band's MySpace page.
