Review: Future Islands spoiled, uplifted Terminal 5

January 12, 2015 By Carly McAlpine

As their secret set during Death By Audio’s final week was well worth the freezing cold wait around the block, so too was the freezing cold walk to Terminal 5 for Future Island’s second sold out show this past Friday. The sheer charisma and dedication of the band, specifically lead singer Samuel T Herring, is […]

Top 5 shows of the weekend

January 9, 2015 By Coleman Bentley

5) !!! at Union Pool While dance punk faded as fast you’d expect something called dance punk to fade, a few solid bands survived the fallout, including !!! (pronounced Chk Chk Chk), who recently announced an impromptu four-night stand at Union Pool. Saturday marks the close of that run, and is a must-see for any […]

FREEwilliamsburg's Top 25 Albums of 2014

December 26, 2014 By Peter Rittweger

Photo via BK Mag 2014 will be a year bookended by loss in Williamsburg. When 285 Kent closed its doors in January, it was like a shotgun blast through the heart of the local music community. While it was true that Williamsburg had been condofying for years, and spots like Monster Island, Secret Project Robot, […]

Future Islands are the undisputed champions of indie rock

August 11, 2014 By Peter Rittweger

Far too many words have been written about the idiocy of “indie rock” as a genre, but most would concede to the term’s utility in defining acts as varied as Vampire Weekend and Deerhunter over the past decade or so. Such broad-scoped categorization is as trite and banal as “alternative rock” was in the mid-to-late […]

Video: Future Islands, Omar Souleyman and Operators at House of Vans

August 8, 2014 By (((unartig)))

Last night was the penultimate House of Vans show of 2014. Headliner Future Islands brought out the devoted fans and they delivered an energized performance that demonstrated why their live shows have become viral YouTube hits. Frontman Samuel T. Herring had the crowd moving with his bizarro dance moves and schizophrenic Death Metal-Morrissey-Elton John vocals. […]

Future Islands Unveil "Balance" Video, We All Swoon

August 31, 2011 By Nicole Wasilewicz

So if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably still got Future Islands last album playing on repeat — and luckily for all of us, Thrill Jockey will be bringing us the Baltimore synth-pop trio’s newest, On The Water, on October 11th. To visually capture these heart-breaking and simultaneously soothing tunes is our good friend and […]
