Adam Green – Jacket Full of Danger

“Jacket Full of Danger” starts off with Green doing a very seventies, lounge type of song in “Pay The Toll”. If the production of the track wasn’t as strong as it is on this track, individuals could easily confuse this track with something that was created in 1974.

Greeley Estates – Far From The Lies (CD)

The type of screaming that starts off “Far From The Lies” seems to put Greeley Estates into the realm of emocore, while the stop-start nature of the later part of “The End of All We Know’ seems to solidify that comparison further. The one fun piece of this first track is when the band slides back into a driving emo type of style for the chorus; the screaming style shows…

Greg Dulli’s Twilight Singers – She Loves You (CD)

Two things are true in music: first off, when a band does a covers disc, it will almost always suck (Tori Amos’ “Strange Little Girls”, the Smoking Popes’ “Party’s Over” are two key examples, and secondly, One Little Indiana are masters at putting out weak albums, including Fluke and Sandy Dillon this last year. Now, even with both of these facts in play, The Twilight Singers fight valiantly in trying…

Greg Palast – Weapon of Mass Instruction (CD)

Alternative Tentacles has went about and gotten another great individual to go and record a spoken-world album in Greg Palast. While I was not personally familiar with Palast before this disc, Palast is factual as well as hard-hitting with eir’s facts. In this, Palast is a mixture of David Barsamian and Jello Biafra, but with a fury that can not be categorized in any certain term. While Palast does not…
