This week's issue bring you the story of Joel Marquard's Through & Through Gospel Review, which finds the songwriter stepping away from the indie rock sound of his band Gospel Claws to explore gospel music.

We've also got shorter features on genre-defying trio Boris, and a talk with soulster JC Brooks, who leads the Uptown Sound.

Check out our show previews about The Sounds, Kongos, Real Estate, Pegi Young, Key Losers, and SubConscious at Bar Smith.
