Ben Cooper of Electric President, Radica...
Some artists find it appropriate to give roots to their musical plurality by releasing music under multiple band names. Ben Cooper of Jacksonville Beach, Florida, has embraced this approach, and it seems that he’s unable to stop the flood of songwriting ideas. He writes under three band names:...

The role of indie in Super Bowl 44...
It was hard not to notice the prominence of indie bands featured in this year’s Super Bowl commercials. We had heard that NFL licensed Wake Up from Arcade Fire and that all proceeds would go to help Partners in Health in their Haitian relief efforts. But we were surprised to find Arcade Fire’s...
