Gregory and the Hawk – Grey Weather
Grey and the Hawk is the musical project of Meredith Godreau, whose quaint ruminations and gentle sounds have managed to clock up over 15,000 CD-R sales during the last five years…without a label or even a manager.

No Age – ‘Eraser’

The single comes with b-side cover versions of The Nerves, Nate Denver, and Urinals.

I first saw them sharing a crowded bill with, amongst others, Dan Deacon, where the lights were all but out, no one could get a drink, the heating was busted, the schedule running late, and the crowd generally growing impatient and frustrated with the way the night was unfolding. Up step these two guys, treating the stage like a stage; no gimmicks, no effect pedals…just some focused energy and the will to allow their songs to create the first impressions. Away from the narrative efforts of their studio work, a set of melodic, feel-good songs – admittedly buried under some seriously thrashy guitar — seemed to win over just about everyone and turn the night right around. Whether ‘post-punk’ or ‘noise pop’ are fair tags to brand them with, I’m not so sure, but if these guys continue the way they’re going, it looks like you’ll soon have an opportunity to decide all for yourself… Continue Reading »
