Hey, whatever makes you feel safe, just keep making records like this! Upon purchasing the new As I Lay Dying CD “Shadows Are Securityâ€, I strongly urge another purchase. Please go to your nearest hardware store and pick up some sort of facial protection, because if you don’t the music on this album just might melt, and/or tear your face off, in the best way possible. The new album from…
“Faded Love†is one of the strongest introductions to Jana Mashonee’s music that could conceivably be placed on an album like “New Moon Bornâ€. This is largely due to the arrangements and how the instrumentation plays well with the vocals present on the track; the funky, tightly-wound set of insutrmentation here fuels the vocals into a whole other realm. Mashonee’s vocals, especially during tracks like “Faded Loveâ€, play on classic…
The title track to “Sentimentally…To Africa†begins off this album, and one is immediately hit with a rich collage of artists as storied as UB40 and Paul Simon. Simons himself is more eclectic than either act, marrying together African with Caribbean rhythms, while tying the resulting music with pop sensibilities that will ensure that fans of current music will find something that they can love on “Sentimentally…To Africaâ€. “Take My…
Bay area legends Keak Da Sneak and San Quinn return with a bang! “She Fine,” the first single from the album Welcome To Scokland, is ripe with thumping drums, an infectious chorus, and a flow smooth enough to steal your girl. In keeping with Bay Area tradition, the singsongy chorus is sung by Keak & Quinn themselves, not a hired gun R&B crooner… or Akon
ASHS has been working on these tracks for three years. The disc’s first track is “Kleenâ€, and from the beginning, it sounds like the space before the action in a sci-fi movie. Particularly, the music creates a vision for me similar to the opening scene in a sci-fi move, when a crew is on space station before the negative auction happens. The band seems to have a traditional sense of…
With families always on the go go go, time for sharing stories with your children is going, going, almost gone!

The fact that Phil Caivano (Monster Magnet) had a hand in the recording of this album is shown by each of the riffs that are found here; the seventies-influenced, dirty and gritty rock found on tracks like “Act Like You Know†and “Feeling Good Is Good Enough†share more than a passing glance with the aforementioned Monster Magnet. Also of note is Jason’s Danzig / Davey Havok style of vocals,…
Minus the Bear is excited to announce the release of “Acoustics,†an exclusive seven-track EP, available from Suicide Squeeze in a limited edition run. “Acoustics,†couples newly recorded acoustic versions of fan favorites from the Seattle quintet’s prolific career with a new track, entitled, “Guns & Ammo.†Originally released as a tour-only CD – during the band’s 2008 headlining tour – this is the first time “Acoustics†will be available…
Valencia return to the road, kicking off the new year with a four-week trek to promote their Columbia Records debut, We All Need A Reason To Believe.
Artrosis comes from an earlier style in metal, in that the band blends together nineties goth with slightly metal, slightly industrial arrangements to create what would ultimately be Artrosis’ sound. The sound is not hard to the point of being thrash or death metal, but what Artrosis does would be cannibalized by bands like Evanescence in the more current period.
Capped off by their already legendary New Year’s Eve performance at Madison Square Garden, 2008 was truly a momentous year for My Morning Jacket.

Phosphorescent are hitting the road in support of To Willie, their February 3 release on Dead Oceans. To Willie finds Phosphorescent digging into the Willie Nelson catalog, covering not classics, but deep album cuts. The songs collected on To Willie seem cracked from Phosphorescent’s proprietary mold with Matthew Houck’s unmistakable voice leading the way. They feel lived in, they feel weathered and they feel just like Phosphorescent.
While Che Arthur has been behind the soundboard during the live shows of bands like Minus The Bear, Trans Am, and Thursday, it is eir stint in the File 13 band Atombombpocketknife that individuals may recall Arthur from the most. After releasing eir first solo album, “All Of Your Tomorrows Were Decided Today†on Flameshovel, Arthur moved to Sick Room and released this, “Ironâ€. “Iron†is given the most energy…
