Formed in Troy (Dayton), OH, the music of FLUWID is built on infectious melodies, searing guitar riffs, powerful drums, and a strong work ethic. There is no doubt that FLUWID is a metal band that stands out in their genre by pairing brutal, aggressive verses with soaring, beautiful choruses. Their sound is a metaphor for life in the sense that there is beauty in the differences between chaos and balance.…
Corinne’s first albumdebuted at #1 on the U.K. album chart in June 2006 and she was the first British female singer-songwriter in decades to have her debut album enter The Billboard 200 in the Top 20. By year’s end, it was RIAA-certified Platinum. She won a Q award, a MOJO award, an Image award and two MOBO awards and was nominated for three GRAMMY awards – “Record Of The Year”…
While some of the reviews out on this album has them being compared to The Replacements, a comparison which is valid, I completely see the general sound of the sprawling guitars and Ben’s vocals being more indicative of A Boy Named Goo-era Goo Goo Dolls. Each of the album’s 12 tracks spin through without any major shifts in the general sounds, embodying a cohesiveness that is hard to find in…
In the unbearable heat of summer, Drunken Barn Dance, led by Scott Sellwood of Saturday Looks Good To Me/David Dondero, and members of City Center, Canada, & Great Lakes Myth Society, challenges you to cool off with “A Winter’s Tale,” the first single available for posting off sophomore full-length, Grey Buried, out on September 21st via Quite Scientific Records. The track – a literate, boozy amalgam of obliquely western tinged…
I had been looking forward to the new Lucero disc since I first heard about it, as 2003’s That Much Further West was one of the best albums of that year. “Watch It Burn” looks back more to bands like The Replacements and Husker Du instead of Uncle Tupelo, infusing each track on “Nobody’s Darlings” with more rock. The guitar work on tracks like “Anjalee” maintain the same aura of…

There is a heavy amount of country influence during the opening of “What We Whisper”. The composition that starts off the disc is “You Knew It Well”, and the country sound comes in when the lap steel washes over the composition. There is a hint more of country when Lucas sings; eir style is like a blend of Johnny Cash and Chris Isaak. The slow tempo of the first track…
True rock legends such as UFO are characterized not only by the fact that they have added several classic anthems to the annals of rock history, but that their musical output, after many years, still remains at such a consistently high level and they always have something new and fresh coming up. With classic albums such as “Phenomenon”, “Force it” and “No Heavy Pettin” Phil Mogg, Vinnie Moore, Andy Parker…
Australia’s Darren Hanlon has plenty to be excited about, and we’re excited for you to get excited about him, starting with this MP3 for “All These Things”. It’s from his forthcoming I Will Love You At All LP (Yep Roc, 9/21), and he’ll no doubt be playing it on his forthcoming tour with Billy Bragg (dates below). MP3 for “All These Things” (please post and share!!): http://riotactmedia.com/mp3/allthesethings.mp3 DARREN HANLON ON…
I had heard snippets of this band for a decent period before actually laying my hands on the record itself. While everything that I’ve read about the band tags them as pop-punk wunderkinds, I would have to disagree. The music which Del Cielo puts out goes so far beyond the limitations of a loaded term like pop-punk into a term that is almost as derogatory : alternative. If they put…
Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated hard rock band Disturbed have announced a special pre-order of their new album Asylum. The pre-order is available now. Asylum will be released on Reprise Records August 31, 2010. As a special gift to fans, the Chicago four-piece have created the documentary Decade of Disturbed. The 60 + minute film candidly captures the band’s ten-year history, with extensive behind the scenes and never before seen footage. Decade of…
The energy in which The Trolleyvox start out their “The Karaoke Meltdown” is pretty impressive, to say the least. “Just You Wait” is able to gain a little bit fro the punk spirit with its splashy drums and powerful vocals. The fact that the track is done and over with barely after the song hits the two minute mark shows further evidence for this link. However, the main stylistic influence…
While still only in their twenties, Irish trio Kopek have a history that stretches back a decade. Drummer Shane Cooney and bassist Brad Kinsella grew up as next-door neighbors in Dublin. The first singer who answered their ad in a local musician’s magazine turned out to be the golden voiced Daniel Jordan and from there Kopek was born. Look for the band to release their US CD debut White Collar…
Miami duo ANR, consisting of John Hancock and Brian Robertson, will release their album STAY KIDS in October via 10K Islands. “The Endless Field Of Mercury” “The Endless Field Of Mercury” is the first tune from the forthcoming album. Jamie Harley was kind enough to take on a video interpretation of the song. Jamie Harley has previously put together videos for Memoryhouse, Memory Tapes and How To Dress Well –…
The opening strains of “Big City Lights” start out a little nebulous, but rapidly fall into a hard-hitting indie rock style that has hints of Radiohead and the more emotive rock of Appleseed Cast and Fugazi present. There does not need to be any vocals at this opening section of the disc, as the instrumentation contains a vocal presence (the higher registers of the synthesizer) and the contributions are complex…
Procedure Club is a collaborative “bedroom-pop” project founded by Andrea and Polish emigré Adam Malec in New Haven, Connecticut in 2008. The two began recording as a natural progression from their boredom with living in poverty in New Haven, sharing musical tastes in shoegaze and pop bands of the 80s and 90s, such as Black Tambourine, and The Jesus and Mary Chain, as well as a common admiration for Baroque…
In September, !!! will embark on a worldwide tour in support of Strange Weather, Isn’t It? due August 24 on Warp. Strange Weather Isn’t It? is !!!’s first full-length release since 2007’s critically acclaimed Myth Takes and was recorded in Berlin, New York and Sacramento. The record was co-produced by the band along with Eric Broucek, who is the former house engineer for DFA Records. !!! has gone through a…
Low Flying Jets – Love Is In The Air / 2005 Self / http://www.lowflyingjets.com / Reviewed 09 January 2006 There is no limit to exactly how much Low Flying Jets sound like Interpol in the first track on “Love Is In The Air”. To be honest, this is a thread that weaves itself through a majority of the tracks on the disc, but the band really starts to make a…
Simple Note is a free App that boasts that it’s best feature is the one that can be find in it’s name; that is to say that the App is “Simple”. While this is true, the App is dead simple to use, there isn’t much else about it that makes it really all that appealing with the exception of it’s price; Free. I’ll be touching base on it’s GUI, ease…
