Groove Kings – Blood Red (CD)

Groove Kings start off their latest release “Blood Red” in a way that will ensure that fans will remember the band long after the disc’s final track, “What’s Real”, finishes up. This introductory (and titular track) shows a band that is confident in the instrumental side of their music. When the vocals do enter into the equation, they add not only another dimension to the band’s music but further the…

Buckfast Superbee – Turn of the Radio Age (CD)

“Turn Of The Radio Age” is a somber, slow song that gives listeners a small sample of the allure of Buckfast Superbee. Individuals feel as if they are at the edge of a mountain; they make a plunge that sets them up perfectly for the tempest that is “The Heavy Persuader”. “The Heavy Persuader” is an stellar track that operates that the intersection of punk, melodic rock, and emo music;…

Shakyfoot – Down On The Rain (CD)

“Goodbye Mrs. Rose” is a hard-rocking track that plays upon the hair metal genre of the nineties as well as approaches a sort of intensity that only bands like the Black Crowes and “Appetite For Destruction”-era Guns N Roses could bring to the table. It is the perfect introduction to Shakyfoot, and will stick with listeners for a long time. The band continues the high energy and momentum through “Bust…

TyLean – Between 10 and 2 (CD)

While “The Last One Awake” is a solid way of introduction to the gothic approach taken by TyLean here on “Between 10 and 2”, I feel that listeners should give an equal (if not increased) focus to the disc’s second track, “Corner Of My Eye”. This is due to the fact that TyLean takes on so much during this track, meaning that there are challenges to traditional time signatures on…

People – The Cliché (CD)

People come forth as an intense type of band that can take on Journey, Weezer, and The Cars all the space of a few seconds. The band’s unique style comes out perfectly during “Song For The People”, a track that shows the beauty of the eighties, captured alongside the angular sound of more current rock genres. The slightly raspy vocals that are present during this track work off the smooth…

Jive 64 – Go To 10 (CD)

It has been a few years since we have had the opportunity to review an act from Israel, and Jive 645 is the perfect continuance of solid acts coming from that side of the world. “Ma Nishar” is how many listeners will be able to learn about Jive 64, and there simply cannot be a better introduction. This dancer track touches upon all forms of the genre, linking together disco,…

Michael Ackermann – Kite (CD)

The rich interplay that is had during the introduction to “Kite”” is something that touches me, while the vocals that enter into the equation are unique, to say the least. This results in a track that is special; with a number of distinct genres and shifts in sound, what results here is something that listeners will not soon forget. It is perhaps the inclusion of the strings during the track…

The Capitol Years – Dance Away The Terror (CD)

The opening, self-titled track of The Capitol Years is very airy and wispy. The opening is not very substantive; when the band finally kicks into “Revolutions”, individuals can feel as if they are getting something from the band. The mixture of styles in this track (the electronic sound of The Who and The Beatles) sounds odd at the beginning, but The Capitol Years smartly blend together the different styles without…

Far From Finished Signs with Old Shoe Records

Street punk from Boston might be an accurate summation, but a sincere understatement of the musical prowess of the veteran ensemble. Since the band’s inception, countless touring miles logged behind the wheel, performing on stages across the world and back again, combined with the well rounded ear of seasoned songwriters, FFF is so much more than punk. With three studio releases under their belt, FFF’s ability to harness a real…

Capillary Action – Fragments (CD)

“Ticking Ghosts, Pt. 1” is a instrumental track that shows Capillary Actions a little confused at the opening gates, different lines crash into each other and muddle what is honestly a very intelligent and complicated track. The band gets back on track before the distortion kicks in, ensuring that the recording is powerful enough to really affect listeners of all sizes and shapes. The second part of Ticking Ghosts begins…

MASTER Signs To Pulverised Records

MASTER was and is still truly an influential band and I would daringly assume that a lot of the early extreme metal bands were somehow influenced by MASTER…. Paul Speckmann was really enthusiastic to join the Pulverised family and furthermore, very easy to work with. We hope that with our support on the upcoming new album, it will be MASTER’s most devastating and crushing album yet!” Comments Paul Speckmann: “It’s…
