iPhone Ringtones

There are a number of distinct websites on which individuals can purchase iphone ringtones. What they have available is really up to the web sites themselves. For example, we have seen websites that proffer rap ringtones just as often as those that deal with rock or punk tracks. However, I find myself a fan of those websites that provide individuals with a large array of clips from movies. Just to…

Last Men On Earth – Girl Named Never (CD)

Skinny Sad Girls is the first track on Girl Named Never, and it soars due to the smart instrumentation and vocals, which have a decidedly Elvis Costello feel to them. What results then is a track that will stick with listeners long after the track wraps up, a perfect microcosm of the collection of tracks on this album. Girl Called Never is a slower track that flips the relationship between…

Raushi – High Tides Collide (CD)

Dani Raushi and her band begins High Tides Collide with a furious bit of rock that seems destined for radio rotation. The harder edge of the drums and guitars amps up the overall sound as Raushi’s vocals come forth as a blend of The Pretty Reckless, Evanescence, and Avril Lavigne. The tightness of the resulting composition is enough to keep listeners focused in, and Don’t Call Me (the next track)…

Romeo Was Wrong is a tempestuous track that looks back to the halcyon days of Blink-182 while adding…

Eclectic Mayhem – Eclectic Mayhem (CD)

Again is a brutally forward bit of rock music, and it immediately throws listeners in to the unique style of Eclectic Mayhem. The band is able to create a stable foundation from the onset of this track, ratcheting up the energy until the vocals kick things into a high gear. Whether it be Tool, Jet, or Monster Magnet, the influences that Eclectic Mayhem place here are stellar. Want It All…

Sixstep – House of Cards (CD)

Sixstep is an act that bounces between reggae and ska, spinning the two styles into something that can be appreciated by all. There is a certain storyteller feel here, where the band weaves a story through each of the tracks on House of Cards. Get In Line keeps things free through the inclusion of a chunky and funky bass line. This addition gives Sixstep a varied sound that yields considerably…
