THE ATLAS MOTH: Tour With Coalesce & Harvey Milk + SXSW Shows Confirmed

Cerebrally pulverizing Chicagoan quintet THE ATLAS MOTH will be blazing a good chunk of the East Coast and Midwest on the road this March with Coalesce and Harvey Milk. The low-end triple-guitar thunder the band are well-known for creating on stage is as massive as it is mesmerizing, as witnessed on their 2009 live with Dark Castle, Wetnurse, Black Cobra, Nachtmystium, Pentagram, Javelina and countless more. THE ATLAS MOTH w/…

Giant Squid – Metridium Fields (CD)

Giant Squid may just be the most approachable band out of all the acts currently on The End Records. This is not saying much, as the style of music that Giant Squid plays is a very progressive meets System of a Down type rock. The use of two, three, and sometimes more vocals on their “Metridium Fields” will immediately garner them fan support, as the number of artists they draw…

Growing up on Princeton Street in Santa Monica, the group now lives in an aging green house on a hillside in the Eagle Rock district of LA where their album was recorded. Among the many detrimental effects that love has on the mind, one of the more subtle is the way it litters the memory…

Giant Drag – Hearts And Unicorns (CD)

“Kevin Is Gay” is a very weak step for Giant Drag. First off, the track relies on the presence of a much-too-repeated guitar riff for its main focus, and the meowing that ends the track just seems out of place compared to tracks like the follow-up “Cordial Invitation”. “Cordial Invitation” is the first in a long string of indie-rock tracks that Giant Drag allow their “Hearts And Unicorns” to be…

Raised on a healthy diet of Michael Jackson, Prince, A Tribe Called Quest, Nat King Cole, Nirvana and Weezer, he soon began to channel such influences, and…

The title track of the new album melds raw energy with a visceral blend of sinuous melodies and shifting rhythmic patterns in the same catchy style of Victory Records label mates BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. Hailed as a “virtual melting pot of several different metal styles” by Outburn Magazine, A HERO A FAKE prove they are not confined to traditional musical boundaries. Check out the equally gripping music video…

Ghorar Deem Express – S/T (CD)

This album is not for the faint of heart, as the average track here breaks the six-minute mark. Ghorar Deem Express plays a brand of free jazz that has much more in common with jam-bands than with the (more-often) classically trained brand of jazz players. The infusion of rap-like flows during tracks like “Mucoid Plaque” really changes the context of the music, especially when one considers that Nader’s vocals are…

Vernon Neilly & G-Fire – G-Fire II (CD)

One doesn’t make it on the radio when they are doing music that would be the background for the Weather Channel. The first track “LFO” is just that and every single thing that they could do wrong in trying to go and put this on the radio is there – it is instrumental, there is absolutely no driving force to the music, and everything just sounds synthesized. The second track,…

Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! Announce US Tour

“It used to be that Moby was the artist people thought of when the words innovative and hip were applied to a musician who had sprung from the corridors of SUNY Purchase. But Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt! — a revolving band of musical party-throwers signed to David Byrne’s Luaka Bop record label — are racking up a string of much-hyped shows around Manhattan and Brooklyn.” New York Mag: “It’s nearly…

Jennifer Getz – Makin’ History (CD)

Starting off shakily on “Makin’ History” with a set of vocals mixed well above the level they should, “Me in your bag” has vocals reminiscent of Dolores O’Rierdan (Cranberries) and Andrea Corr (The Corrs). Continuing the inoffensive acoustic-led rock during eir second track, “Universe”, the belting out of vocals by Getz seems to find an analogue in the country of the late 70s and early 80s. Getz’s veteran move of…
