When I saw this CD I was expecting nothing but overbearing indie rock that would have me wanting to kill myself between the fifth and sixth track. I was wrong, as Mike Ness says, as tracks like “Ocean Close†show a nice mixture of the Doors, R.E.M. and the B-52s, all packaged together with a fairly convincing mastering. The overall tone of the disc is solidified with “Duke The Deadman…
The dirty French are invading us at a last minute notice. The first and probably the last time. It’s close to the end of the ride my friends and this will be of apocalyptic proportions or maybe just a severe hangover. Sick of pizza? Ready to microwave some drugs? The boss is actually letting me take a vacation so I can build up my indulgence levels for this atrocity. Let’s…

Now, Air Supply has to be behind the 8 ball when it comes to “The Singer and the Songâ€. First off is the fact that the band has not charted in a meaningful way for about 20 years, and secondly, that this is an acoustic album. Acoustic albums usually only get picked up by fans of the group, of which there quite a few still around (175,000 attendance at a…

The electronic sound of “Bonus Jack†is not necessarily influenced by Devo, but it really comes out of a more current techno / electronic vein . The bass line of “Hectrometre†really casts Airport 81 into a different vein, Each of the tracks on “Put Your Squares Together†has a completely different set of influences; a song like “Low Speed Impact Test†really seems to be pushed forward by a…

I was amazed by Ahleuchatistas when I first was lucky enough to see them at AMC 2004, but their album goes just as far showcasing their Primus-like spurning of traditional chord and time structures. Allowing for a high amount of continuity between “Cracked Teeth†and “Ecstasy Combat Bootsâ€, Ahleuchatistas are impressive any way one sees the band, whether it be the Neil Peart like bass lines of Derek or the…
Despite their feverish schedule this year which took in numerous side projects, solo records, countless dancefloor-igniting remixes, production duties and, of course relentless touring (which culminated in their triumphal homecoming shows at Brixton Academy in November) that indefatigable, delightfully off-kilter five-headed electro pop colossus known as Hot Chip have somehow found the time to assemble a lovingly put together little present for their fans. And not only that, but they…

Very few artists come out of Iceland. However, those that are able to break it big internationally are able to achieve some modicum of success. This is the case with Agust, as there are very interesting compositions that mark tracks like “If You Leave Me Nowâ€. Know that this is not the Chicago track, but rather a track that blends together classical compositions with Agust’s love for acts like Jethro…

Wow, what can people say about Agoraphobic Nosebleed. In the time that it took me to write these words up, five or six songs have blasted by. This is beyond thrash, this is light-speed metal and don’t let anyone tell the band otherwise. Individuals would have to be on speed just to begin to comprehend the urgency in which Agoraphobic Nosebleed creates all of their music. It is serious as…
