It has been a while since I have had the chance to review a comic zine, but Noah Van Sciver was gracious enough to go forth and send over a copy of Blammo #2 for review in NeuFutur. The style of the comic bounces back and forth between life stories, interviews with comic creators and band members, with all pieces linked together with the same neurotic, funny style.
The style of music that The Aggrolites play is a classic brand of reggae and ska. The music is not the blend of ska and punk that Tim would have in Rancid, but rather something (that during tracks like “Thunder Fistâ€) recall the sixties more than anything else. The tracks are newer but each of the songs feel as if they should be a reggae classic. The production of this…
Long before paparazzi pursued celebrities, celebrities pursued iconic journalist Rona Barrett. Aside from moving into a 90210 zip code and invites to glam parties, stars knew they had it truly made when “Miss Rona†knocked at their estate door. No one has ever had more personal access to celebrities baring their souls, revealing their secrets, sharing their dreams than Barrett. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Barrett is…
No Line On The Horizon, the new studio album from U2, will be released in North America on Tuesday, March 3, 2009.
We have received for review a disproportionate share of rums during the year and a half that we have had our alcohol review section active. However, this is the first time that we have been fortunate enough to review a Spiced Rum. Before receiving the Captain Morgan 100 Proof Spiced Rum, my only experience with that variety of rum came in the Lady Bligh that a number of friends swore…
Wow, Agent Sparks really wants individuals to focus on them instead of their previous act. This honest demeanor really means a lot, considering one could easily float on the success of an act like Audiovent, or even somewhat on the fact that the act has siblings of members from Incubus. However, “It’s Not My Time†succeeds even though Agent Sparks has all these outs to become lazy. The style is…
Drawing passion and fire from the rich traditions and hauntingly beautiful music of his native Scotland, Craig McConnell’s sonic embrace is both deep and wide. Craig is an accomplished international rock guitarist and something of a “chameleon” within the world of music, working in an impressive variety of styles and genres. Rock, Jazz/Fusion, New Age and Classical are but some of his many musical colours. His artistry reaches beyond the…

AMERICAN ZEROS is a rock/power pop trio from Dallas. They are musically known for their strong harmonies and ability to write catchy and multi-faceted songs. Their newest release, ‘Draw!’ has 14 tracks plus a blooper bonus track, with songs comparable to bands such as Incubus, the Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Collective Soul, John Mayer, U2, and even a little AC/DC.
This album has been on the review shelves for NeuFutur for a few months, but finally it is getting some love. After the opening strains of “Walking Disaster†tickle the reviewer’s ears, I wonder why it sat here the last few months collecting dust.
It’s the holiday’s whoop-dee fucking shit. Obviously, I’m not the most spirited person this time of year. I really despise the snow and the whole green and red color scheme. But, there’s always one upside and that’s excellent songs about the wonderful Christmas holiday, here’s my top five list of songs that you should listen to while getting fat on cookies and ham.
As Americans say goodbye to 2008, Clean Slate Riesling considers those celebrities and national figures who most need — and perhaps, deserve — to begin 2009 with a clean slate. For years Riesling has had a bad reputation for being overly sweet and in kitschy blue bottles with undecipherable labels. Clean Slate’s modern packaging, uncomplicated label and crisp and refreshing flavors are giving Riesling a clean slate and making it…
The rock that Agalloch plays is something that is not too far away from the emotive rock that took such a major role during the earliest parts of the 1990s. The first part of the opening track on the disc is instrumental, and this track (“Limbsâ€) allows listeners to be assaulted continually by different arrangements of the acts. Where some of the earlier sections of the track may sound closer…
