Chris Reebie's Profile

Nada Surf has flown under the radar for quite some time. Their catalog has continually expanded, while their fan base has remained mostly the same. Their core three (Matthew Caws, Daniel Lorca and Ira Elliot) have been intact since 1995. They’ve only...

Right off the bat, it’s that name. Just an absurdly perfect combination of words that have nothing to do with each other – except for the fact that one word is something that inflicts the inhabitants of the other word from time to time. It’s honestly more of an eye-catcher than...

Twin Limb is one of those unique bands that’s able to shift their sound from listless to all-enveloping in a matter of seconds. They make melodies that get lost, then get found in a hurry. The type of noise that can coat the walls of an apartment if given enough listens. Lacey Guthrie and...

Nothing gets people moving like a deadline. Andy Hull was barely past high school when he got handed a very important one. His father gave him an ultimatum - he had one year to pursue his music career. That’s it. If he didn’t succeed after that - essentially his freshman year of...

Going to the concert of a band you don’t know can be a real harrowing experience. If you haven’t heard them before, you’re trying to digest something that might normally take three to four listens to fully appreciate. If you’ve heard of the band, but only know a couple...

Interpol put out a 10th anniversary edition of Turn on the Bright Lights about three years ago. My initial reaction was shock. Not so much that it was getting a re-release - it’s an album that more than deserved it - but shocked that ten years had actually passed since I’d first heard...

Wilco has always been the epitome of a Chicago band. If you're being literal, I guess the epitome of a Chicago band would be the band "Chicago” … I get it. But to me, Wilco was that band. Not just because they call the city their hometown, but because they’ve been tried and...

One thing you should know about Pearl Jam fans … they travel well. Doesn’t matter where or when, they’ll show. So when news broke of Pearl Jam visiting Cincinnati for the first time since 2006, it wasn’t just residents of southwest Ohio waiting anxiously for tickets to go on sale. That...

Bonesetters are no strangers to Cincinnati. They performed at Midpoint in 2010 and 2012 and also played a Saturday set at Bunbury this past summer. They hail from Muncie, Indiana and have ties to another central Indiana bred indie mainstay - Margot and the Nuclear So & So’s (Margot’s...

New York’s Cults hit the floor running after the release of their self-titled debut. Since then, the band’s central brain trust - Brian Oblivion and Madeline Follin - have experienced their fair share. They’ve traveled the world (performing over 300 shows in support of their debut album...

Bringing Ohio-bred talent to its various stages has been one of Bunbury’s hallmarks since it began in 2012. Since then, local bands such as Bad Veins, Guided by Voices, The National and many others have graced its lineup card. One of the bands carrying on that tradition this year is Heartless...

Daniel Zott and Josh Epstein of Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. like what they do. It comes across in everything – from the albums, to the videos, even the clothes they wear. Their sound is characterized by shiny, two-part harmonies that have the innate ability to alter moods within the first three notes....
