When/Where, an alt/punk band from the Cleveland area, stopped by the BSR lobby in the recent past to record a couple tracks of theirs (plus a cover) with a stripped down setup. Afterwards, we interviewed them about the process of slowly becoming a full band, becoming punk as an angsty young college touree, and good […]

On the first installation of BSR Sessions of the semester, Elyria-based alternative rapper Eliy Orcko performs three unreleased tracks for our listening pleasure. “Only Reason”, “Over”, and “Porch” are all off his forthcoming projects with a range of producers. Check out his performances below, as well as a link to his other music.

For our latest session, Valley Girls traveled intercounty to perform their minimalist noise rock for BSR Sessions, featuring both new unreleased material and a two-parter off their latest album. The videos are linked below, including links to their bandcamp.

At long last, the infamous Akronites’ set is up, long past due after recording in the spring. Despite audio files getting lost in the matrix, we’re still happy to present you with three songs by Backtalk, all off their latest record, Analog Parts. The terrible twosome play “Moving Shadow”, “Reptilian Control System”, and “Simple Rearrangements.”

Hailing from the sunny, verdant shores of the Black River, Elyria’s own Stalemate came to BSR to play some new songs and an old song. Each of those are able to watch below, as well as an interview with the band where they discuss growing up with their music, writing a new record from scratch […]

BSR is happy to announce the return of BSR Sessions for Spring 2018! First up is Kent folk-urchin Small Heretic, performing three quaint selections from their somewhat secret catalog. Expect more great artists and bands as the semester continues every other Monday! For now, watch and enjoy:

Elyria-based artist Jason Kaminski brings some of his “folk-pop” magic to BSR Sessions. Watch him dive through three songs: two of his solo work, and one stripped-down rendition of a song by his full band, Stalemate. Then, watch him discuss how his songwriting changes by project, the evolution of Elyria DIY & Blank Slate, and […]
