Re-release of Fireball Ministry’s album “The Second Great Awakening” out in October

Fireball Ministry is one of those bands that get into your head without any warning and then simply blow your mind away. This American rock’n’roll quartet doesn’t need flashy gimmicks or fancy stage presence to make an impression. Their music says it all – a tasty blend of traditional hard rock and Sabbath-influenced metal, spiced with hints of stoner and doom metal, takes the listener on a journey across the…

Finn Riggins Live All Over the West This Fall

“Finn Riggins sure knows how to rep its hometown. The trio, which hails from podunk Hailey, Idaho (population 7, er, 7,844), says just as much in the instantly catchy “Wake (Keep This Town Alive),” the first single from new joint Vs. Wilderness. It’s an uptempo, swirling affirmation of life, complete with “wah ah ah ooh ooh” harmonies, galloping drums, and a plea to never forget your roots. The entire Tender…

The Everyothers – Pink Sticky Lies (CD)

The Everyothers play a style of rock that is not immediately reconcilable to the rest of the rock bands out on the market. For example, during “Too Far”, there is a definite psychedelic influence that makes itself known but the bulk of the track is a blend of the B-52s and The Offspring. This interesting blend makes for something that is new and fresh for the music scene, something that…

Everybody Else – S/T (CD)

The band starts off their self-titled disc with “Meat Market”, a track that is interesting to me as it seems as if the band is holding back some of the energy and fury that should be present. What results is a track that has a very current type of indie allure but is based heavily on the rock of the sixties. Hints of “That Thing You Do is present throughout…

Absolut Boston (80 Proof)

Where most of our experiences with Absolut have been with traditional types of flavors (Save for last year’s Absolut Los Angeles) Absolut Boston is truly something to come from left field. One need only look at the blend of different elements that comproise the vodka, which take elderflower (imbibers might be familar with elderflower as the basis of St. Germain) and link it together with black tea. When individuals get…

You Weren’t There: A History of Chicago Punk Rock 1977-1984 (DVD)

There’s no denying that New York and Los Angeles get all the good press. When punk music finally made its way to the U.S. in the late 70’s, both coasts were claiming the title as punk rock capitals – with New York citing The Ramones and Los Angeles touting X. Though hundreds of miles away from both cities, Chicago – ever the modest mid westerner – was quietly hosting it’s…

Ever Will You Get There – Maybe We Can Help You Find a Place (CD)

From the liner, this mini cd was created “using two guitars, two tape recorders, our voices, found objects and the environmental sounds that surrounded us”. The lyrics are truly created on the spot, so don’t be shocked if a song (like “in the city”) just consists of whatever the songwriter sees. The recording leaves something to be desired, but the two individuals that created this CD intentionally recorded like this,…

Morphine – At Your Service (CD)

If any 90’s band warranted the anthology treatment it’s Morphine. It took a decade, but Rhino has given the Boston-based “low rock” band the treatment and the result is a wildly impressive look at band’s output. The refreshingly original band – name one other alt rock band from that era that sounded so good with a saxophone – ended suddenly in 1999 when singer Mark Sandman died of a heart…

Event Horizon – Naked on the Black Floor (CD)

While different styles dominate during the first track of “Naked on the Black Floor”, most notably electronic-metal in the vein of Fear Factory and the nu-metal push of bands like Disturbed, what comes forth much more clearly on the disc is a more classic style that taps bands like Queensryche. The blend of styles is essentially what Event Horizon is; where “Everything that begins must end” begins the disc and…
