You can't really hate Jordan Cook's Reignwolf project - it's just too damn fun. When Cook stopped by KEXP last month to play a one-man show, he brought a kick drum and a fog machine with him. With a caveman stomp and his shredding, bluesy guitar, there was nothing lacking from Cook's performance. He completes his sound with no need for help and occasionally reminds us of the energy and vibe of early, early White Stripes material. In short, if anyone deserves to stop using his birth name and go by Reignwolf, it's this guy.  In this set, Reignwolf plays three originals and a seriously fantastic rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain." He doesn't use any backing tracks or any doubling. Rather, Reignwolf puts everything forward in his live show and doesn't hold anything back. But with a massive garage rock presence and an unshakeable confidence, Cook throws down and doesn't look back. If you visit Reignwolf's website, you won't find any music that hasn't been recorded live. For some bands, that would be a completely ludicrous concept. But Reignwolf earns every inch of it, and his presence is one in a million.

BOYS NOIZE is the stage name of Berlin-based DJ and producer ALEX RIDHA.
Ridha (born in 1982, Hamburg) started producing and djing at early age to find himself supporting the likes of Felix Da Housecat and DJ Hell in a matter of time. Nowadays Ridha himself is known as one of the most valued electronic artists, awarded with the Independent Music Award in 2010 as well as 3 years in a row Best Electronic Artist on Beatport. He has a refreshing approach: not afraid to break new grounds, beaming a myriad of influences from his hip-hop and disco roots to create an innovatory sound. His dj sets are equally uplifting and he's regarded by many as one of the world's best DJs, not only technically but also as a showman. Seamlessly mixing and remixing on the spot, Ridha never fails to deliver high-powered and gripping sets: unforgettable experiences for the witnesses.

Neck of the Woods sees Silversun Pickups lighting out for the territories, stretching the boundaries of their exhilarating psychedelia with confidence, invention, and undeniable ambition. Having long made their bones as masters of widescreen power, the Los Angeles-based band's third Dangerbird Records album takes their filmic vision to another level entirely - this is full-on IMAX rock 'n' roll, in stereoscopic 3D and Sensurround. From the low-frequency thrust and motorik pulsebeat that drives "Mean Spirits" to the mesmerizing first single, "Bloody Mary (Nerve Endings)," the album fairly detonates with high definition creativity. Roomier rhythms and judiciously applied electronic shadings form a blissed out base camp for the band's electrifying aural adventures, the elegiac landscapes of Neck of the Woods revealing an unbridled expansion of the already impressive SSPU sound. "There's a playfulness," says singer/guitarist/songwriter Brian Aubert, "a certain kind of freethinking experimentation that we were fooling around with. We wanted to just let it all fly." Silversun Pickups - that is, Aubert, bassist Nikki Monninger, keyboardist Joe Lester, and drummer Christopher Guanlao - emerged with 2005's Pikul EP and soon caught the attention of the wider world with the following year's Carnavas. That collection (featuring the breakthrough single, "Lazy Eye") only barely prepared the way for the band's blockbuster second album, 2009's Swoon. Tracks such as "Panic Switch" and "The Royal We" established Silversun Pickups as a potent force in 21st Century Rock, further confirmed by an 18-month tour that included innumerable headline dates, festival sets, and a 2009 Grammy Award nod for "Best New Artist."
