Coming through with a very post-hardcore sound, mixing elements of Coldplay, Pink Floyd, the Weakerthans, and the entire early-1990s indie rock movement. Matt’s voice is quirky and at times inconsistent with the style of music that Evening plays. While the promo sheet for this release is littered with the praise of in-house writers proclaiming the originality of Evening, I really tend to find this disc par for the course in…
While his recently released album, So Much To Say, is steadily building buzz and gaining accolades from fans and critics alike, singer, writer, and producer Rob Murat felt this the perfect opportunity to speak directly with fans and give some love back for all their continued support. To do just that, Rob recently took a stroll through his home streets of New York City to let fans get to better…
Rock is just tastier when it’s made down south. Just ask everyone that’s seen Green River Ordinance sizzle at each and every show that they’ve played this past year in support of their Virgin Records debut, Out Of My Hands. If you haven’t caught the pop rock phenomenon yet, you’ll have a chance to see them this fall with One Tree Hill star Kate Voegele. Hot off highly successful runs…
On his second release, Belly of the Lion, Texas native David Wingo – under the moniker Ola Podrida – delivers not quite a dozen beautifully written, sweeping tracks that evoke the desolate landscape captured on the album’s cover. Known best as a music composer behind movies like George Washington and All the Real Girls, it’s not surprising that Belly of the Lion sounds a bit like a movie score. Bringing…
Jackson, Mississippi native Dent May grew up singing in local church groups, acting in school plays, and performing at nursing home gigs with a recorder choir. In high school, he wrote synthy power-pop with his band The Rockwells while recording erotically charged novelty tracks with friends on the side. After three unsuccessful semesters at NYU’s film school, May moved to North Mississippi where he helped found the Cats Purring arts…
The first track on the disc, “A Cross + A Girl Named Blessed†mixes together Alien Ant Farm, Tool and Dashboard Confessional in some unholy alliance that really shows an incredible amount of emotive force even if the instrumentation has a lock on the low end of things. “Stop + Say You Love Me†even furthers the Tool comparison further, seemingly taken line for line out of the Aenima album.…

On “Rider.Shadow.Wolf.,” Molina’s tired rider, just having battled the desert, now meets the eternity of the ocean. The track is the standout among the plethora of cuts recorded during the same productive session that gave us the band’s most recent longplayer, Josephine. Also found on the limited 7″ is a stripped-down, early take of “Josephine.” This particular recording of “Josephine” was laid down just after the song’s inception, during the…
Evaline plays a brand of emo music but their rub is something that is completely different from anything else that the mass of emo bands are doing. The arrangements present during “Postpartum Modesty†are miles beyond anything else that emo acts are typically known for. When the band starts off their EP with “La De Daâ€, the result is something so much more intense and full-bodied than the average emo…
On the heels of a new EP and recent North American tour, Austin group The Octopus Project are returning to the studio to record their next full-length. To tide fans over in the meantime, the band’s first two albums have been reissued on vinyl and are available in stores now. The band’s haunting debut, Identification Parade, was originally issued by Peek-A-Boo Records in 2002, and deftly combines the experimentation of…
Anyone who writes off Nip/Tuck as “too much†or “unbelievable†clearly stopped watching the wildly entertaining series long ago. Once those tepid viewers were scared off, the rest of us were free to enjoy the basic cable soap in peace in all its outrageousness. The beautiful thing about Nip/Tuck – about to start its sixth season – is the manner in which it manages to top it’s already way over…
The man behind the mask of Michael Myers from box office horror films Rob Zombie’s HALLOWEEN (2007) and H2 (2009), as well as other block buster hits such as X-MEN and TROY, is taking matters into his own hands. Tyler Mane has announced the formation of his new production company, Mane Entertainment, LLC and plans for their first film, a horror-thriller titled PENANCE LANE. “Indie films are taking a beatingâ€,…
“I’ve Got A Life†is a track that is destined to be played for gay dance clubs all through the country, as the campy vocal stylings on the track really tend to hearken back to the disco period. “Love Is A Stranger†brings listeners a few years later, as the hokey electronics played during the track really dates the track in a good way. The song feels as if it…
South Carolina death metal act, THROUGH THE EYES OF THE DEAD have announced the title of their forthcoming release, on Prosthetic Records. The album, their third full length, will be titled, “SKEPSIS.” The band has been recording at New York’s Gellar Cellar Studios. Alan Douches has been tapped to master the effort. The tracklisting is as follows: 1. Parasite Throne 2. Dementia 3. No Haven 4. Perpetual Defilement 5. Inherit…
Now, Now Every Children are thrilled to be hitting the road this fall and winter. Dates kick off Mid October in the US and wrap up at the end of 2009 with a trip across the Atlantic to back up Paramore (whom have featured NNEC on their site as a Band of The Month) on their jaunt through the UK. The Minneapolis based band is out in support of their…

It takes Europa a few minutes, but the band shows that they can play their update version of The Outlaws during “Gods of War and Peaceâ€. I say updated, because there are hints of Ramones-like punk and other musical styles present during “The Filthy Cutâ€. In fact, “Passive Aggressive†starts off with a Ramones-like drum line before going into an ersatz blend of rockabilly, country, punk, and the Foo Fighters.…
