Whether up in Brooklyn or hanging around the Triangle, Kooley High still has North Carolina on its mind and doesn’t want you to forget it.

Fronted by graduate student Eric DiMarzio, student band Eric and the DiMarzios has played a handful of gigs around campus — including opening for The Love Language and The New Pornographers at this year’s homecoming show. Now, the band has its first real release: a six song self-titled EP. On its debut, Eric and the DiMarzios delivers earnest tracks that, though obviously heartfelt and seemingly sincere, fail to leave a significant impression.

There’s often a certain expectation that accompanies the breakout of female-fronted punk bands (read: immediate Joan Jett and the Blackhearts comparison), but Wax Idols manages to simultaneously uphold and nullify it. On No Future, it rips through stereotypes and blurs genre boundaries with a rousing force of punk straight out of the San Francisco Bay Area.

As a harsh winter lurks around the corner, The Wilderness of Manitoba creates a safe hideaway on its latest release, When You Left The Fire, a cozy collection of earthy themes and big sounds that ultimately warm the soul with the familiar blanket of folk music.

Everyone seems to want more of one thing or another — time, money, food — the list could go on forever. On Want More, the second album from JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound, that want might be more marijuana or liquor on some occasions, but considering the rays of soul that pour from the album, the casual references are just another part of the upbeat personality the band exudes.

Brooklyn folk music sounds like an oxymoron. Alana Amram and the Rough Gems operate within this strange category, and sometimes it’s hard to figure out whether its style is phony or innovative. Snow Shadows: Songs of Vince Martin is a cover album of folk songs written by Martin in the ‘60s and ‘70s, and it leaves room for this debate.

It’s hard to think of a band that better embodies the sound of North Carolina than the Red Clay Ramblers. The bluegrass group celebrates the state in its 2009 album, Old North State, but its fiddle-driven folk and songs about barbecue have been oozing the traditional sound for 40 years.

Wednesday Roundup has a new look. After a year as a faithful Canvas staple, the traditional roundup was starting to feel like more of a task than an enjoyable rendezvous through the week’s arts happenings.
