Hey box stompers in the Nashville area!
We at at 
The other day, one of our interns tragically spelled "pedals" with a "t" - guitar "petals" - which is actually kind of cute, since our beloved stompboxes do, in a way, look like colorful petals. For fun, I Googled "petal pedalboard" and this image popped up. A sense of admiration for the clever semi-circular design was soon overwhelmed by the realization that... that was none other than Prince's pedalboard from around 2012!!!...

Inspired by the mind expanding sounds of the '60s, Send Medicine began as the solo project for Toronto based singer/songwriter Julian Hacquebard in the summer of 2012. Now based in Los Angeles and expanded to five (and at times six) members , the band, in debut album "Scary Aquarius Daughter" honed a sound that updates psychedelic folk to the current times. Of course, when we hear the word "psychedelic" we immediately think "guitar pedals!" - which is why we asked Julian to tell us about his favorite stompboxes. He decided to focus on the ones used in the recording of the single "July Eyes," streaming below.... Click on the title for more

Hailing from the UK's Southsea region, Kassassin Street brings a refreshingly breezy approach to psychedelia, with a danceability factor that will intrigue music fans nostalgic of the glorious psych pop British bands of the late '80s and early '90s, from the Charlatans to The Stone Roses to Happy Mondays. Throughout their still few releases (two singles and one EP to date since 2015) the quintet's sound has been evolving in a more atmospheric and complex direction, where synths and effects cover a growing role - and that's precisely why we asked them to tell us about them!...

With a sound both meditative and gothy, Brooklyn duo Surf Rock is Dead pairs sunny melodies to melancholic tinges, ala the Drums, but with a much shoegazier approach, a kind of music that's tightly connected to the use of guitar pedals. Since guitarist Kevin Pariso confided us that he often gets asked about the secrets behind his uber dreamy sound, we just thought we'd give him an opportunity to come clean....

Ghost King's 2016 debut album "Bones" impressed our friends at The Deli so much that they made it NYC Record of the Month back in April. The album features what could be seen (and heard) as an noteworthy recap of the (indie) guitar rock sound of the '90s, with references to bands as disparate and glorious as Sonic Youth, the Violent Femmes, Pavement, The Pixies and Guided by Voices. Considering the wide range of guitar tones in the record, we thought band songwriter and guitarist Carter McNeil might have something interesting to say about what inspired the record and what gear made it possible....

Our first thought when we heard "Wednesday Night Melody" - the new single by Los Angeles power pop trio Bleached - was: "This song should be on Rock Band!" - which, if you think about it for a minute or two - is a heck of a compliment. The ladies' new record "Welcome the Worms" showcases an evolution from their early vintage sounding garage-psych-pop, to a more muscular and modern "Alt" sound that, while more produced and punchy, retains the fun of those classic radio friendly punk songs a la' Joan Jett. The distorted guitar is pretty dominant in the band's sound, so were curious to find out what's on the board of the band's guitarist Jessie Clavin - and here's the answer!...
