Stream Discovery Zone's "Quantum Web" / Local Show This Spring

We were first blown away by Discovery Zone (JJ Weihl) back in 2020 upon the release of her debut album Remote Control. Since Weihl was at the time based in Berlin, I figured it would likely be some time until we got the chance to hear her live. Lucky for us, Weihl (now in NYC) not only will visit the Twin Cities this Spring, she’ll do it in support of another terrific new record.  Quantum…

We Went There: Destroyer (Solo) at Turf Club

Destroyer @ the Turf Club, St. Paul, MN – April 13th, 2024 Destroyer, the long-running project of Canadian Dan Bejar, made a stop in St. Paul Saturday as part of his solo tour and dug deeply into his catalog for a sterling 75 minute set that showcased how his music stands up even without the usual glam and shine that he utilizes so well on his recordings. Bejar handled acoustic guitar and…

Video: Rupert Angeleyes' "In The Light" / Album Release This Saturday

Minneapolis had a fairly big exodus of local artists to LA several years ago, for various reasons. It’s been nice to hear, over the years, that a number of them have made their way back. Rupert Angeleyes is one example – now back in town and releasing his third album Pillow Talk this coming weekend (4/20 coinciding with Record Store Day). Angeleyes has a new video out “In The Light” which you…

The Fresh Five: The Fever Haze, You Said Strange, Artemas, Gouge Away, and Hannah Frances

For the Fresh Five we pick out five great new(ish) jams that we’re currently obsessing over. Started in the early 2010s as a solo project completely played, written and recorded by Jackie Kalmink, The Fever Haze has evolved over the years to a full five piece band. Kalmink still handles most of the recording and production work for the band which has evolved over the years from a more garage…

The (Local) Fresh Five: Verdin Brothers, Larry Wish, thank you, i'm sorry, Shiloh, Forever, and Burning Peasant

For the Fresh Five we pick out five great new(ish) jams that we’re currently obsessing over. All of these songs come from local (Minnesota) bands/artists. Arcana by Verdin Brothers Though at Reviler we’ve been trying to tune into the local music scene for going on 15 years now, it still happens all the time that you hear about a local band that is great and has also somehow been around for…

We Went There: Horse Lords and Ka Baird at Icehouse

Tuesday’s Horse Lords show had me reeling a bit, juggling in my brain a monologue that ultimately ended with a fairly simply conclusion: time is weird. When I saw earlier this winter Horse Lords were playing in Minneapolis this week, I thought to myself “I haven’t seen them in a few years.” Then, leading up to the show I saw a the band announce they hadn’t played a show anywhere in North…

Mclusky Returns To Minneapolis after 20 Years (Show Saturday!)

There are plenty of shows we all regret missing many years later. UK band mclusky’s 2004 7th Street Entry show has always been near the top of that list for me. The band broke up shortly after. I was able to catch post-mclusky band Future Of The Left once, but it was never quite the same. After an April 1st tour announcement in 2022 and unfortunate cancellation that year due to Andy Falkous’…

Listen to Horse Lords/Ka Baird's Latest Music Ahead of Tuesday (3/12) Show at Icehouse!

Horse Lords are one of those bands that super fans (like me) always do the annoying “their records don’t capture them live!” thing. In the flesh they groove deeper, expand minds wider and simply capture an inter-planetary spirit that compressed audio files have a hard time comprehending. Well, lucky for all of you, they both have a live record out now (below) AND you can see for yourself Tuesday…
