In Cadeo – Making Our Graves (CD)

Yet another indie band from Brooklyn? Yup, only this one seems to have placed a stronger emphasis on the songs than their image. In a music scene as cluttered as Brooklyn, it takes a pretty amazing band to stand out above the fray, and In Cadeo just happen to have the songs to back up all the adulation that should be coming their way shortly.

Fringe – The Complete First Season (DVD)

Like trying to live up to its extremely popular older brother, Fringe was unfairly being compared to Lost even before the first episode aired. Because of its co-creator – JJ Abrams – Fringe had the impossible task of having to live up to the cult built around that other Abram’s show. On its own, Fringe held up quite well, as the first season on DVD shows. Though it took a…

Tirra Lirra – Pink Live Forever (CD)

“We Are All Strays” is a tremendous six-minute plus track that may seem daunting to those more familiar with mainstream music, but one needs to stick with the track. The band is able to subtly change their sound throughout the track, with the grandiose atmosphere created by the track ebbing and flowing in a natural way. “Stinngybadly” is a unification of Sonic Youth, The Smiths, The Cure, and even “Cherub…

Mojo Rising – Feel What You Feel (CD)

“She Woke Up To Me” has an utterly infectious sound, with a bit of synthesizers that will worm its way into listeners’ ears and reside there for months after listening to the track. The inclusion of a similarly-infectious drum line and jangly, disco-infused guitar line further elevate this track into something special. All of these pieces unite together to create the perfect foil for the soulful singing that links together…

Sprockets – Medicated Empty (CD)

The title track for “Medicated Empty” ties together LostProphets, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Radiohead into something that immediately strives to distinguish itself from the pack. It is during “Your Infection” that the band is truly able to spread their wings, though. The confident guitars unite to splashy guitars and vocals that double dip by both furthering the narrative side of things while adding much to the intricate harmonies…

Alexandra Celano – I’m Overcome (CD)

Christian music has always been a part of my post-youth life. I was first introduced to the music of the Newsboys back in about 2000, and ever since then, I’ve been attempting to find the best and brightest in the genre. Alexandra Celano’s 2009 release “I’m Overcome” came to us just a few days ago, and I have to say that it may just be the best Christian album of…

CRGruve – Naughty and Nice (CD)

“Lunar Dance” is the first track on “Naughty and Nice”, and it will immediately show that CRGruve is attempting to do something significantly different with the rap genre than has been present in the past. This means that there are hints of Spandau Ballet and New Order even as a rap flow brings current acts (The Dream, Drake) into the mix. Where this initial track is challenging for those that…

Prospect Hill – S/T (CD)

“A Patriot’s Anthem” is a great introduction to Prospect Hill, as it allows listeners to see every part of the act work together in the creation of a memorable track. Prospect Hill skillfully moves through emo, rock, and even metal over the course of a few short minutes, all while the extraordinarily charismatic vocals hit on all cylinders. The production, while not as important as the performances of Prospect Hill…
