VORTIS PREPARES FOR RELEASE OF NEW S/T FULL-LENGTH

Witness the new self-titled album by the Chicago quartet Vortis—the group’s fourth full-length, though in many ways a new beginning as the recorded debut of Louie Calvano (bass, guitar, vocals), Jim DeRogatis (drums), Chris Martiniano (guitar, bass, vocals, and art), and Tony Tavano (guitar, vocals). The band formed in mid-2000, taking its name from the pre-World War I movement spearheaded by writers James Joyce and Ezra Pound and graphic artist…

The Builders And The Butchers Music Inspired Art Exhibition By Lukas Ketner Now Showing In Portland

My Old Kentucky Blog – They play a little bit of dress-up and their music harkens back to a time of great wide open western coastal state expansion. There’s more of a gospel/Tom Waits feel to it all though, and under the dark folk stories, there’s lots of banjo, washboard and fiddle. It blends to create gothic americana-folk-rock with a little more “umph!” than your average Decemberist song. BLACK GOLD…

Lucas Cates – Contradictory (CD)

From the opening strains of “Contradictory”, Lucas Cates calls forth the Dave Matthews Band. However, this influence is not borne out through the entirety of “Contradictory”, as a bluegrass type of style dominates, along with a Jason Ringenberg meets Anthony Kiedas approach to vocals. The track starts slowly, but by the time Cates has worked through half of the song, individuals will have to listen a little closer. This is…

Gonzo Parenting Volume 1, Issue 1

There are a number of zines that I have kept around the house instead of donating them to a zine library or giving them to friends. Gonzo Parenting is one of those “keeper” zines, as it provides me (a potential future parent) with an interesting set of readings about parenting and tips on how to be a good modern parent.

Caterpillar Tracks – Self/Titled (CD)

Caterpillar Tracks may categorize their sound as being descended from Fugazi, but with their first track, “Just Here To Visit”, the band shows their allegiance to Monster Magnet, Offspring, and Henry Rollins. The straight-forward rock assault of Caterpillar Tracks on this song is one of the best lead ins to a disc, benefiting even more from the surf-breakdowns nestled away in opportune moments during the track. The vocals that dominate…

Catalyst / Calm.Murder – Two Sides of the Suicide King (CD)

Catalyst starts this split out with “Kiss You Goodbye”, a typical over-blown, theatrics-laden hardcore track rife with screaming. What saves “Kiss You Goodbye” is the ever-present and impressive drumming laid down by Kevin. Fairly normal guitar riffs wreck any pretense of innovation and spontaneity on Catalyst’s side of the split, as “Your Death”’s average fare is just a poorly-mixed example of how to scream in monotone. Guitar lines are heavily…

Penn & Teller B.S.! – The Complete Sixth Season

After six seasons, you know where you stand with the often polarizing duo of Penn & Teller and their sacred cow tipping Showtime series Bull Shit! For those easily offended and potentially horrified for the group’s crass, profanity-laced, straight-to-the-point documentaries… well change the channel. For those with an open mind however, the series is entertainingly addictive and season six, now on DVD, is no different.
