Electric Liquid is a fusion of electro, funk, soul, with afro-cuban and urban rhythms. Seryiouz holds his own lyrically over strong production with street wise anthems, party joints, and political commentary. Featuring the first-ever cast of producers from all…
“One More Autumn†starts out with Cheron using a vocal inflection that sounds a lot like Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi†than anything that has came out in the last thirty years. There isn’t much in the way of extra instrumentation to “Goodnight Amelia†besides a guitar and a bass. Of course, the focal point of this track has to be Cheron’s voice, which is something that is never challenged…

The question “Where in the World is Hawk Nelson?” would be appropriate for the band that has been coast to coast this year playing in front of more than 350,000 fans with the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular (Jan.-March), REVOLVE tour (Jan.-Feb.), and finished up the Rock and Worship Roadshow in April. Despite this insane touring schedule, fans will be pleased to know that these road warriors have found time to…
A certain amount old, seventies-influenced rock starts off “Gang’s All Hereâ€; replete with the guitar fuzz present on all those old albums, the vocals really cut through the noise and provide for rock in the old style. This is not diminished during “Girl’s Roomâ€; if anything, the guitars assume the fuzz present on many a punk song while the vocals take on a Danzig/Jim Morrison type of feel. The drums…

Land of the Lost may have tanked in theaters, but the movies co-star Danny McBride more than makes up for it with the soon-to-be released DVD debut of the HBO series East Bound & Down.

Political Punk a la Rage Against The Machine funneled through a pop machine. This band is a mix of RATM with pop-punk (The Donnas), and when I say the Donnas, I mean a strong female presence at the vocals. The politics of the band are truly worn on their sleeve, showcasing them as direct action, anarchists, and as people that don’t force their listeners to believe in a specific dogma.…
The first song was a Christmas song. I was six and probably directly ripped off A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it was a start. After a music degree I had a detour into other careers, but with a few songwriting awards, a song on a label release, and a new CD -Road Tunes and Regrets, I’m finally getting the music first, the way it’s suppose to be. Road Tunes and…

In this…
Before 2005, I had never reviewed much in the way of non-punk world music. This year seems to be the year of world music, as both Raza and Cheb i Sabbah cutting albums. This time, we have a more restrained sound, allowing for more traditional song structures even as more-Eastern styles dominate. “La Kahena†is a light album, with the majority of instruments found on the disc creating a tinny…

I was just about ready to say that the style of music that Chas Mtn plays is very organic and reminiscent of the sound that one would hear if they were walking along a road, bordered by a forest. At some point, the majority of the music on the disc is related to an acoustic guitar. Whether it is the soulful acoustic opening to “Deep Safety†or the disjointed stylings…
