Purling Hiss to unleash guitar jams with a sweet touch of pop in San Francisco
The journey from solo to trio did not come quietly for Purling Hiss. But nothing does for the loud as heck, guitar blazing, noise rock band. Mike Polizze released his first solo album under the name Purling Hiss in 2009.

It's finally starting to get colder in San Francisco, but there a ton of great shows to force you out of the house and into local music venues this month. We're big indie pop fans around these parts, and Toronto five-piece Alvvays released one of the year's best albums in the genre. The group's self-titled debut LP, out now on Polyvinyl, is jangly, hazy and catchy [...]

With South by Southwest luring over one thousand bands to Austin later this month, it's touring season in indie music. While that means plenty of locals are already on the road, it also means some exciting opportunities to see buzzed-about out-of-town acts without taking a flight to Texas. Those acts include UK producer Forest Swords, touring around SXSW [...]
