BRONZE RADIO RETURN INTRODUCE OLD TIME SPEAKER, TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM
Like listening to old bluesmen on your new iPod Touch, BRONZE RADIO RETURN is a band that is all about the juxtaposition of the old and new. Their new album Old Time Speaker (which is out now) is the ultimate love letter to all of the things that make their music what it is. Producer [...]

Fresh on the heels of the release of their tenth anniversary retrospective “The Gentle Art of Music”, German Prog Rockers RPWL have confirmed that they will be returning to the United States. Their performance will take place at The CalProg Festival on October 2, 2010 which is being held in Whittier, California at the Center [...]
Kamileon Feature
Kamileon has been on the music scene for a number of years, but seems to avoid the trap of coming froth strongly and then becoming mired in a rut or same-sounding groove. Rather, when listeners go through a “Best of” release, what they will hear between tracks like “Skulls of Doom”, “Code of Honor”, and [...]
Knuckles and Nipples – S/T (CD)
“Knuckles and Nipples”, the band (and the disc’s) theme, comes through with a fury that initially begins with a very growling, Doom-like vocal quality to MC Homeless’ vocals. In “Your Taste In Music Sucks”, the band does really not allow itself enough to really get out and construct an distinct sound for their track. The [...]
Gaslight Anthem Tour Throughout The Summer
The Gaslight Anthem will be bringing their inimitable live show to the following festivals and venues throughout the summer: JULY 14 – Toronto, ON – Sound Academy (w/ Tim Barry and The Menzingers) 15 – Detroit, MI – The Fillmore (special lineup also featuring The Hold Steady and The Whigs) 16 – St. Louis, MO [...]
Jess Klein – Strawberry Lover (CD)
Jess Klein starts “Strawberry Lover” with one of the most bold steps forward on a disc I’ve ever heard, with “Darkroom” mixing together punk directness, country, musicals (think “Little Shop of Horrors”) and gospel in well less than three minutes. “Shonalee” has to be the farthest that Jess can go away from “Darkroom”, but the [...]

Rock Frontman Mike Vallely, to Lace ‘Em Up for Federal Hockey League’s Danbury Whalers
Mike Vallely, the renowned skateboarding icon, hard rock music frontman and action sports personality, will bring his unique brand of competitiveness to the sport of ice hockey when he competes this fall for the Danbury (CT) Whalers of the new Federal Hockey League. An experienced competitive hockey player and a skilled ice skater, Vallely has [...]
The Kite-Eating Tree – Method: Fail, Repeat (CD)
Coming out of the gate with some impressive two part harmonies, especially during “Through the Width of a Straw”, The Kite-Eating Tree makes their own disc into an interesting journey. Mixing up a great deal of distortion with saccharine-sweet vocals, “Method: Fail, Repeat…” is an amalgam of two major stylistic genres: what is being called [...]
Owl City’s Adam Young Readies New, ‘Airbrushed’ Album
While he’s just finished “re-polishing” his old songs — the one’s he’ll release next month as Sky Sailing — Adam Young also has a whole batch of new songs in the hopper too that he’ll be releasing as Owl City, much to the delight of his rather fervent fanbase. “At the moment, I’m working on [...]
HANK & CUPCAKES Release New Video
Hank and Cupcakes, Brooklyn’s buzz worthy drum and bass duo, rock out on their new self-titled EP with four rhythmically dense tracks and one video that showcase their innovative sound. When Hank & Cupcakes take the stage, their infectious energy dominates the room, generating a fierce groove that immediately has the crowd up and moving. [...]
Kissing Cousins – S/T (CD)
The sly sound of “Sillhouettes” mixes well with the light instrumentation that individuals are confronted with at the onset of this self-titled EP. In a sense, Kissing Cousins sound like “Horses”-era Patti Smith, mixed with a good serving of the Velvet Underground (when they still had Nico). It is during “Phone Call” that Kissing Cousins [...]
ANDREW W.K. HEADLINES WARPED TOUR 2010 & BRINGS HIS OWN CIRCUS TENT
Headlining the Warped Tour 2010, Andrew W.K. is proud to announce the inclusion of THE ANDREW W.K. PARTY HOUSE – a 20’ x 40’ circus tent – at every Warped Tour date this summer, as well as the unveiling of his overhauled Web site, AndrewWK.com. THE ANDREW W.K. PARTY HOUSE is an 800 sq. ft. [...]
Kissing Cousins – EP2 (CD)
Kissing Cousins start off their second EP with a very Spartan arrangement for their “Deadline”. The confident guitars of the track are reminiscent of a Johynny Cash track seen through the eyes of early nineties “ironic” country like Christopher Isaak. The second track is marked with a very industrial backdrop on their “Live Without You”. [...]
RUINER ANNOUNCES DATE OF THEIR FINAL SHOW
Ruiner has cemented a date for their final show in Baltimore, MD this Fall. Vocalist Rob Sullivan said, “the details for our final shows in October, the 5th and 9th, are still being ironed out but we want to make them very memorable for us and everyone planning to come out. Expect some of our [...]

Kirlian Aura – S/T (CD)
Very few artists stick to their guns for twenty years. Keith Petty, mastermind behind Kirlian Aura, has done just that. Starting the act in 1988, a demo were released in 1991 and 2007 sees the release of this, arguably Kirlian Aura’s “magnum opus”. Twenty-three tracks adorn this album, which immediately rings warning bells in my [...]
Pierre Ferrand Cognac: Ambre
We have not had many chances to review cognac so far in NeuFutur, so it is quite fortunate that we were sent over a few samples from the Pierre Ferrand line. Our first coverage of this company’s spirits comes with their Ambre iteration, a similarly-colored cognac that has been casked for 10 years. The incredibly [...]
