“Lie Awake†is a distinctive track, one that will indelibly imprint the Straw Dogs on the minds of anyone fortunate enough to listen in. The natural progression that is present throughout “Lie Awake†allows listeners to gradually get their feet wet with the band, as well as establish the band as operating within the alternative and college rock genres. Unlike other bands in this genre, there is a richness of…
“He Who Has Ears Let Him Hear†is an intensely emotional track that has the same gravitas of a Muse or Queens of the Stone Age, but has a diversity of layers that would make bands as storied as U2 proud. Sipo’s first effort on “Year Of The White Rose†will keep listeners focused in on the rest of his compositions on the album, regardless of what genres that they…
Jazz as a genre seems to have fallen into a rut over the last twenty years; where the genre was really popping with the more experimental work of a Chick Corea or a Weather Report, it gradually cooled down during the eighties and nineties. SamPa’s unique blend of musical styles, which includes jazz, blues, salsa, and even rock at the periphery, is the thing that jazz needs to really let…
There is so little in the way of feel good music out today, and it really takes someone like Frank Jurgens to inject a little bit of sunshine to what is a pretty bleak era of music. “Date Night, the Game†is a track that ties together a wide swath of music, playing on the works of individuals like Jimmy Buffett, Tom Petty, and even Warren Zevon. The chorus hits…
As someone that was a Latin major (and did a lot with Roman history), the first thing that really speaks to me is that the modeling of Rome is absolutely beautiful. While individuals will not completely know what Rome looked like over 1500 years after the empire declined into obsolescence, I have a feeling that Viva really did their homework when it come to Grand Ages: Rome. The game itself…

Monsters Vs. Aliens is one of the biggest titles to be released this year so far, and it is not surprising that a video game would be created for the title.

She worked with producers Steve Rosenthal (Ollabelle, Lou Reed, Suzanne Vega) and Don Fleming (Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Nancy Sinatra) at the Magic Shop studios in NYC.

At the end of March The War On Drugs will finally embark on their first full nationwide U.S. tour since the release of their debut album -Wagonwheel Blues- last June. Why the long wait do you ask? The folks in the UK and mainland Europe have been gobbling up The War On Drugs’ curious new take on a American highway rock with such fury and fervent that The War On…

Donwill, Ilyas, and Von Pea of hip-hop group Tanya Morgan never sleep and as a result of their endless grind they continue to churn out good material for our iPod obsessions. The latest of their endeavors is Donwill’s solo LP, Tanya Morgan Presents: Don Cusack in High Fidelity. In case you’re wondering how Donwill, or anyone for that matter, can create an entire album off of the 2000 hit comedy,…
Blivit comes through as a band on “Unhand the World†that is tremendously influenced by the seventies, specifically the arena rock that took over as the dominant musical style for a couple of years. However, much like “Blinded By The Lightâ€, Blivit doesn’t use a guitar but rather a keyboard to make all sorts of nutty songs. At moments, the keyboard is virtually indistinguishable from a guitar line, but just…

Miss Kittin (Caroline Hervé) & The Hacker (Michel Amato) are back together again, double the trouble and double the fun, with a brand new album, TWO.
Hey, it’s like the B-52s lost about fifteen years and were thrown together as Bling Kong. The same eclectic instrumental sound mixes with a quirky male set of vocals and deepish female vocals. The only thing that one can possibly distinguish the two bands from each other has to to be the stronger instrumentation that Bling Kong has. The disc’s first track “I Want More†benefits from a strong bass…
Shadowland – a British neo-progressive rock band originally formed in the 1990s, by Clive Nolan (Arena, Pendragon, Caamora) and Karl Groom (Threshold).
TrackMania DS will be familiar to those that have played the PC franchise in the past. The inclusion of the stylus and the DS’s unique skill set ensures that the title will be substantially different than any other iterations of the game. So, at the very least, TrackMania DS is no mere port. For those that are not familiar with the title, what players are tapped to do is ensure…
