We need a lot of help around here at NU! And yeah, you can help us.
First of all, we need some help in Audio and Video post-production. So, if you have your own computer that can do the job and you want to try it out...Contact Us Here.
Second, if you feel so inclined to help us out with a donation, we need it way more than we'll ever let on, you can Donate Here.
And last of all...if you don't have the skills and can't help us with the bills, tell others about National Underground. You gotta know some people out there that would love to find out about this stuff. If I didn't know about it, somebody would totally make my day turning me on to it. Somehow you stumbled upon it and dig it enough to be reading this. Pass it on.
Oh, and Thank You to everyone that has helped us in any way they could!

More on Only Thieves
|
Written by  Chip Hill
Monday, 06 July 2009
|
 So I've spent the last 2 hours listening to Only Thieves first release, Greetings from Levy Park, T.L.H. and I'd have to say this has been a pretty good introduction to these boys from Tallahassee, Florida. They are a little bit indie and a whole lot garage rock. I'd like to be sitting around listening to this drinking a beer with good friends. From their album cover it would be an easy guess to think they'd be influenced by Bruce Springsteen, but its way more Scared of Chaka. It's got me convinced. I'll be looking forward to more from these guys.

 The Cold Beat - songs on their myspace
Other reviews suggest them sounding like 'The Gaslight Anthem if they listened to the Replacements instead of Bruce Springsteen' and 'The Killers at their most anthemic.' I'd say that's a pretty good summation, but i'd take the Gaslight Anthem and other Replacements lovers over this. Oddly, 'I wanna be free' reminds me of a more polished version of a tune Ringers would play.

Merit- Arson Is For Lovers
|
Written by  James Hull
Saturday, 27 June 2009

 You know what I like? Cake. In fact in a quick straw poll I just conducted of people I can contact at this very moment revealed that 100% of people like cake. There's nothing wrong with cake, it comes in many different shapes and sizes but at its heart it's unassuming and edible and nice. Cake is a nice thing. Why all the longwinded cake metaphors you ask? Well, Merit are a lot like cake, there isn't much you can't like about them, despite not being edible they are fun and nice and other non-descript adjectives. "Arson is For Lovers" is a big chorused no thrills jaunt through ten well arranged slices of punky power pop. It isn't going to change your life, You're not going to go out and get their logo tattooed on you at any point in the near future but what you are going to do is download this record, buy some cake and dance around like an excitable school girl and devour said cake to these fine inoffensive New Yorkers. |

Dear Landlord- Dream Homes
|
Written by  Susannah Caviness

 They’re just as snarky as they ever were.
Carbondale sweethearts, Dear Landlord, have truly outdone themselves this time with the release of “Dream Homes” ( No Idea).
Glorious-n-gruff vocals (in threes!), frivolous melodies with a touch of dark, complex, and to the fucking point lyrics steamed with a dash of wild irish rose makes for a nearly perfect album. |

North Lincoln- Midwestern Blood
|
Written by  Christopher Alley
Thursday, 25 June 2009
|
 I popped in my earbuds to listen to Midwestern Blood in the early morning hours as I was working, while the rest of the house slept. Within minutes I found myself sitting back, unable to focus on anything except the music.
North Lincoln's latest release consists of 11 tracks that are carefully crafted, intense, and flow together the way you want an album to. While critics and reviewers are readily making comparisons to bands like Samiam, Jawbreaker and Hot Water Music, the trio uses those influences more as sonic touchstones as they set about carving out their own sound: equal parts soaring and crunchy; sparkling and raw... thought-rock?

 After breaking up first in 1995 and then again in 2001, Sunny Day Real Estate are together again, if only for a little while. The Seattle emo bandits have already announced their upcoming North American tour--yes, even Nate Mendel in on board! In true celebration fashion Sub Pop will reissue the bands two original-lineup albums: the 1994 debut Diary and the follow-up LP2. Both re-mastered albums will include new liner notes, rare bonus tracks, and will be released September 15 on both CD and vinyl. Tour Dates are listed below. I'm going to go cry now.

Red Collar - Pilgrim
|
Written by  Mike Burrell
Saturday, 20 June 2009
|
Red Collar's debut full length album, Pilgrim, comes as a pleasant surprise. The type of punk rock/indie that Red Collar plays, which can be described as something like American Steel meets Bear Vs. Shark but mellower, is becoming a bit trendy. However, the band manages to add their own flavor to the genre though and fans of similar bands will certainly eat it up.
Pilgrim opens up with "The Commuter" but it isn't until a few songs in when we get to "Tools" that things start to pick up. From there the album gets better and better with each song and by the time we get to the title track we're in full swing. |

Oh, and National Underground will be releasing their set from Fest 4 in 2005 sometime in the next few weeks. Along with a slew of other sets and some other awesome stuff! |
