Description: Simply put, Teenage Rehab is a straight forward punk rock band. Fast and angry traditional hardcore songs and some pop punk inspired sing alongs. http://www.myspace.com/teenagerehab Bio: Formed in late 1997, Teenage Rehab have set out on a mission: Cripple indie rock and all this poetic bullshit that people assosciate with punk rock. This deep fried 3 peice have garnered a reputation for being in your face, raw and to…
This is the first completely instrumental metal act that I’ve got my hands on. The tracks work really well for someone that is doing household chores, but there are only a few tracks that shine with any sort of intensity. Intensity does come during a track like “Accidents in Mutual Silenceâ€, but there still seems to be a few cobwebs present in Canvas Solaris’ music. If one is looking for…

“Sounds Like Love” now looks, feels, and smells like love in Illa J’s new video that manages to stimulate all of the senses. As Illa sits in solitude reflecting on the love he feels for his lady, we can smell the smoke filled air and see the hallucinating effect a dose of romantic love can have. We can even feel the warmth as the mermaid’s movements compliment Debi Nova’s sensual…

Time has been good to Cannibal Corpse, as tracks on “Kill†(for example, “Barbaric Bludegeoningsâ€) come out first with the same fury that has been present through all of the Cannibal Corpse albums, and then expand the band’s palette to allow for a greater toolbox for the band to choose from.
The premise is funny enough that it’s amazing someone hasn’t thought about committing it to film before. A struggling metal band at night plays kid’s parties during the day to pay the bills. The best part about it is that it’s based on a real band. IFC picked up this original and surprisingly addictive half-hour TV series.
In support of their recently released sophomore album, Scramble, The Coathangers will be embarking on a North American tour starting next week. In less than three years, Julia Kugel (guitar/vocals), Stephanie Luke (drums/vocals), Candice Jones (keyboard/vocals), and Meredith Franco (bass/vocals) have grown from a band of girlfriends buying the cheapest instruments a pawn shop could offer, to a group of formidable, adaptable performers. The girls will be on the road…
After working with various producers and musicians Mary decided to embark on a voyage of musical discovery. There are no airs or graces with this London based Singer/songwriter. She’s simply on a mission to create well-crafted pop songs. She encompasses elements of 80’s melodic pop and electronic ambience in her music. This combined with her warm and deep vocal sound makes for great pop songs. Over the last six years…
If I were to pick a wine that anyone could enjoy, I would choose promisQous California white table wine. The wine is sweet and satisfying, yet crisp and refreshing. I have a good friend, who I like to have an occasional drink with, she had never had any white wine to speak of, and the only red wine she had ever had was dry and powerful, so needless to say…
The style of the title track is an update version of the light-instrumentation and violent raps of the gangster period, allowed a little bit of the nuanced DangerDoom/newer style. The anemic beats on tracks like “Majestic Mic Masters†might be created to properly show off the vocal styles of the act, but in reality the down-tempo of the backing beat gives the vocals a certain sluggishness that it would not…
Lebowski Fest is proud to announce that Indie Rock/Dance/R&B sensation Har Mar Superstar will be joining the 2009 ‘Speed of Sound’ Tour for the West Coast run of Movie Parties in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, and Las Vegas (full dates below). Har Mar has opened for The Red Hot Chili Peppers, whose bassist, Flea, played a Nihilist in the film. So Mr. Superstar’s ‘Lebowski’ lineage is well established.…

Likely the bastard child of The Replacements and Cheap Trick, New Jersey’s Dipsomaniacs play boozy bar rock and power pop stripped of any pretention. On Social Crutch, their sixth full length, there are few surprises, but that’s not exactly a bad thing. Sure the sound is a little closer to power pop than the garage rock most associate with the band, but the group’s central themes of booze, partying and…
The classical megastar, Lang Lang, and iconic jazz pianist, Herbie Hancock, will pair up in concert for an inaugural world tour this summer. Following their highly successful 2008 Grammy® highlight performance of “Rhapsody in Blue,†it seemed only natural that the pair would bring their unique backgrounds to an even greater collaboration on the world stage. The two pianists kick of this unprecedented tour at the Montreux Jazz Festival in…
With a minute-long introduction, the one thing that individuals will know about the band Canada on their “This Cursed House†is that they do not intend to have the most speedy compositions. In fact, after the minute or song introduction to “Beige Stationwagonâ€, what results is an indie rock marked by a jangly acoustic-sounding guitar and a more natural sound to the dominant vocals. When the bass and drums kick…
Did you know that Galaxy Quest was the first movie in which Justin Long played a major role? This means, as is the case with the movie itself, Long’s career has reached out over the space of a decade. The movie itself provides ample comparison to Star Trek; the path that each of the actors took after Galaxy Quest ended in the film is eerily similar to that experienced by…
Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that its highly anticipated action adventure game Dante’s InfernoTM will be coming to the PSP® (Sony PlayStation® Portable). Based on part one of Dante Alighieri’s classic, “The Divine Comedy,†EA’s Dante’s Inferno will also take players on an epic adventure through Dante’s famously mapped nine circles of hell. Dante’s Inferno will be available simultaneously for the PSP, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and…
A sultry slide guitar, the lonely moan of a blues harp, the righteous thump of a fatback bass and the sticky soulful rhythm of a Beale Street backbeat… Joanna Cotten’s music lays it all out like a slow ride down through the Delta. Then she starts to sing, and all Heaven breaks loose. She calls her music “funkabilly,” and the appellation fits just right, serving as a dead-on description of…
Before listening to this CD, the only track from CVB that I could say I was familiar with was “Pictures of Matchstick Menâ€, and while their last CD came out in 1989, I still feel as if I should have been better versed in the band. The tight style of the alternative rock that CVB places on “New Roman Timesâ€, exemplified early by “51-7â€, a track that ties together introspective…
