Quasi continues its streak of smart, gloriously off-kilter indie-rock with 2006's WHEN THE GOING GETS DARK. The Pacific Northwest duo, consisting of former husband-and-wife team Sam Coomes (Heatmiser) and Janet Weiss (Sleater-Kinney), offer up 11 tracks ranging in style from lumbering rockers (the pounding "Alice the Goon") to lo-fi pop ditties (the harmony-laden "Peace and Love"). Weiss, with her hard-hitting percussion and subtle background vocals, is the group's secret weapon, leaving singer/multi-instrumentalist Coomes, armed with his plaintive yelp and elliptical lyrics, to handle all other duties (primarily bass and piano). Displaying a disdain for typical song structures and a penchant for distortion, DARK proves that Quasi, much to its credit, has no intention of making its restless sound more accessible.
Quasi: Sam Coomes (vocals, guitar); Janet Weiss (vocals, drums).
Magnet (p.110) - "The ragingly askew piano work doesn't stop, nor does the frenetic, open-ended drumming. And it all sounds so clear....Cleanly produced and layered."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Even the psychedelic passages could be conceived as arguments for rumination in a sound-bite culture."

Purchase When The Going Gets Dark CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
When The Going Gets Dark album
 $6.39   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized ...
| | Mark Lanegan Bubblegum CD (2004)
When The Going Gets Dark CD music
$12.19 
In between the release of FIELD SONGS and its follow-up, BUBBLEGUM, former Screaming Trees singer Mark Lanegan sang for hard-rock heroes both old (a reunited MC5) and new (Queens of the Stone Age), gaining both fans and famous friends in the process. Thus, all eyes were on Lanegan for BUBBLEGUM, which features guest shots by everyone from PJ Harvey and Queens leader Josh Homme to Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses. Fortunately, all this attention doesn't seem to have fazed the sandpaper-voiced singer; despite the guest list, BUBBLEGUM is as dirty, gritty, and raw as anything in his catalog.
While much of Lanegan's previous solo work is a mix of languid folk-rock, gutter blues, and the kind of grunge-mutated 1960s-psych influences that powered the Screaming Trees, BUBBLEGUM ...

| | Bright Eyes I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning CD (2005)
When The Going Gets Dark songs
$10.79 
In early 2005, young indie icon Conor Oberst (AKA Bright Eyes) unveiled two full-length albums--I'M WIDE AWAKE, IT'S MORNING and DIGITAL ASH IN A DIGITAL URN. Whereas the latter proved to be a departure into electronic music, the former sticks to Oberst's established sound, which combines the urgency and heart-on-the-sleeve sentiment of emo-rock with twangy, down-home feel of alt-country and folk music.
I'M WIDE AWAKE begins with Oberst telling a story that morphs into "At the Bottom of Everything," a jangly, upbeat tune featuring My Morning Jacket's Jim James ...
| | Bloc Party Silent Alarm CD (2005)
When The Going Gets Dark album
$10.79
On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles "Banquet" and "She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock and fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts and heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation.
Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up incarnation of the Cure's Robert Smith, but the sounds the group creates echo everything from Gang of Four's staccato militarism ("Banquet") to the reverberating guitars of the Chameleons ("Price of Gas"). At times, Bloc Party also recalls the ecstatic soundwashes of early-1990s cult pioneers ...

When The Going Gets Dark songs

John Krishak has been singing since the age of 5. Back in the 70's, God called John to one of the loneliest of all Evangelistic calls; Street Ministries. Drawn to the beaches of Delaware and Maryland, John would sing in the bandshells along the shores. His journey led him to North Carolina where he was taken from the streets to reaching tens of thousands at conventions. His mission from God was to sing on Friday and Saturday nights to draw the people to Sunday worship services offered to conventioneers. In Portland, Oregon, one service drew more than 20,000. Over 15,000 responded to an invitation to accept Jesus. After 4 years in this ministry, God led John from a 9-piece live band to a solo career ministering in churches and back on the streets again.God has graced John with a musical ministry that is much more than just entertainment. It is a musical presentation ...
