After doing the magazine for a number of years, I have started to receive second and third discs put out by the same bands. Oftentimes it takes a year or two to create the disc, but it always feels as if the band just sent me their last EP or LP a short time ago. This is the case with Scale Model, who garnered a very respectable rating for their…
While this product is described as a sweater, I feel that it can be used as a little jacket admirably. Mountain Khakis have put a tremendous amount of work into this product, ensuring that it will be able to last through countless rains, storms, and other inclement weather. Beyond that, they have created an incredibly fashionable sweater that is able to match any khakis, jeans, or other clothing that an…

During Le Beau Serge, the student is able to make inroads with one of eir old friends. The dynamic between the two is explored at length, with the crucial points of Le Beau Serge focused on the current…
While my last studio experience with S.B.C./The Freedom Fries was with 2000’s “The Dicktad EP”, this somewhat later release really shows a band that is much more polished. Starting off the disc with “Dictator”, SBC mixes their own brand of punk from a list of influences that are in themselves legendary : The Clash, Rancid, The Dead Kennedys. More garagey than The Charlestons, SBC still has the hooks that make…
One of the hardest working figures in modern music, Paul Carrack releases his new single ‘Time To Move On’ on October 23rd. After a major departure producing the critically acclaimed Different Hat with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Paul has gone back to his roots with a Northern Soul stomp, Time To Move On, and is joined on this recording by youngest son Jack, who makes his debut on drums. The…

The fullness of Say Anything during their “Is A Real boy” is something that other emo bands should strive to achieve. There are three or four things happening at any one time, and individuals will marvel at the multiple harmonies that little the soundscape during tracks like “Belt”. Let individuals get one thing straight; this is not the emo of acts like Bright Eyes but of acts like early Jimmy…
There are a large number of different fat loss supplements on the market; it is incredibly hard to find a product that will work the first (or second) time out. We started our Health and Fitness section to provide some idea of what is good, what could use more work, and what should be avoided at all costs. ThermoLife has provided us with a sample of Dicana, and we believe…

For some reason, I was under the assumption that Saxon was a lot harder band than they turn out to be on “Dogs Of War”. “Don’t Worry” has much more to do with bands like Cinderella and Every Mother’s Nightmare than Venom or Vader or any of the other five-letter metal bands. “Big Twin Rolling” shifts the band sound a little bit to a Hagar (Can’t Drive 55) or Lizzy…
I like to stock the cabinet in my bathroom with baby wipes; they ensure that one has the optimum cleanliness when they leave. I have not found something similar in regard to nose health / cleanliness, though. Saline Soothers are precisely these products. While previous efforts have been marketed to parents of children, I feel that one should definitely search our Saline Soothers. These moistened cloths will ensure that individuals…
Poland’s The audio-violence professionals at Poland’s Selfmadegod Records have confirmed the details of some upcoming releases being prepared for deployment later this year and in the early months of 2012, including ENCOFFINATION and STORMCROW, as well as split releases between CRYPTICUS/SCAREMAKER and MODUS DELICTI/ENEMY REIGN. Death dealers ENCOFFINATION will plague the Earth with their new opus, O’ Hell, Shine In Thy Whited Sepulchres this November. Picking up where they left…
We were fans of FRS the last time they sent over a package, and wanted to provide readers with a review of their FRS Bottles. These bottles are available at any well-stocked c-store or gas station; we were able to find them in Sheetz, for example. We were unable to try the Wild Berry (90 calorie) version of the FRS Bottles, but feel that our experiences with the rest of…
Hey, its Purple-Rain era Prince meets any track from a John Hughes soundtrack and reconstituted into what is Saturn. The bad thing is that the recording of this album actually sounds as if it was on equipment from the eighties – the droning of emptiness is present throughout the disc, a sterility pervades the disc. As well as the aforementioned sterility, there is a repetition to the instrumentation on the…
Glink! A rare stone dropped in the ocean. It sinks away from the light, and its gleam begins to wane, it darkens against the depth. Sinking into vastness, it looks almost like outer space, it could be floating, to the ocean’s ceiling floor. Here, there is no rising, there is no sinking, they are the same, growing and dying look identical. Gem Club exists in this space. They float up…
London-based electronic-punk trio TEETH have released a new Gross Magic remix of their single “Flowers” for mp3 download. The original, “Flowers,” is taken from their recently released debut LP, WHATEVER via Moshi Moshi Records. Drawing ample buzz in the UK and recently signing with Fat Possum (Smith Westerns, Yuck), Gross Magic aka Sam McGarrigle takes on the single as his first official remix release. Receiving attention for their controversial internet…
CHEAP GIRLS has inked a deal with boutique indie label Rise Records (home to Hot Water Music, Man Overboard, Transit and Sharks). The Michigan 3-piece will hit the studio with Tom Gabel (Against Me!) in which he will record and produce the band. With a couple of albums already released and non-stop touring, CHEAP GIRLS have been gaining notoriety on a daily basis. Their sound has perfect mix of rock,…
The different Simply Naked Wines represent an interesting presence – they are not given any time in oak, which provides imbibers with a much different flavor profile than they would normally expect from these different varietals. What results with the different Simply Naked Wines are efforts that put much more of a focus on the fruit flavors, rather than the woodsy or smoking hints that are typically present in a…
