Thanks to everyone for all the support we’ve received over the past week. We had a record number of voters and couldn’t be happier with feedback we’ve been getting. This week our new defending champion A Sheep At The Wheel takes on two new bands. These talented artists are like no other that we have [...]

First and Foremost, I would like to thank Lord Steamroller for entrusting one of his lowly subjects to write the latest review for Steamroller. I am very honored.
As my first (hopefully not last) review, I have had the pleasure of listening to the Jim Offerman Band. This singer/songwriter rock band originating [...]

Sometimes it can be very humbling being in the music business. Sure, you can walk around pretending you know this and that, and all that other shit too. But the reality is, unless you have a parent who was in the business, or some kind of wicked hook-up, it’s all trial and error. I mean [...]

So far December has been both rocky, and uplifting. As any new indie record label, we have seen our share of bumpy roads so far. The latest signing Earlstown Winter and their album Easy Roads, Easy Skies, have run into some last minute delays. However, we remain determined to release this record as soon as [...]

Thanks to everyone who voted and supported The Steamroller, and the Indie Band Showdown during it’s first 2 weeks. We are extremely pleased with the support and participation from the bands who have taken part, as well as their fans, and our readers.
This weeks Indie Band Showdown winner, by a land slide is Ottawa’s Skytone. [...]

One of the great things about independent music is you never know what you are going to get. When I turn on the radio I know exactly what I’m getting. It’s nice to press play and hear something that sounds fresh and new. Enter, A SHEEP AT THE WHEEL. A band from Vancouver B.C., Canada. [...]

So I’ve been scouting an awful lot of indie bands lately. Since I’ve been given the title Lord Steamroller, it’s been up to me to find these bands for our team to review. (great job people!) Anyway, I’ve been going out of my way finding bands, and have listened to many different styles, genres, etc, [...]

I sat down to write this review as a last minute thing before I head off to Thailand for 3 weeks. In a rush, I loaded the music to take a listen hoping it would be either really, really good, or terrible so I could write something quick. I was in luck. Immediately when I [...]

Earlstown Winter played the Main last night in Vancouver and despite the slight delay in releasing the album, Easy Roads, Easy Skies, this show was a success.
The atmosphere in the Main is that of a sort of bohemian coffee house, except the beverage of choice is beer. It was somewhat quiet, subdued, just happy people [...]

So, home I trudged from another long shift at work through the slushy mess that Vancouver calls snow; dodging the fashionably small dogs and the fashionably large SUVs, basically hating humanity, when I remembered that I had to have a review done for the Steamroller E-zine by tomorrow.
So, home I went, put on the debut [...]
