Honestly, this is the second time that I’ve reviewed this disc; the first being for the radio station which I work for, WGRE. At the time, I must not have listened to the disc very deeply, as I did not recommend it to be put on rotation. But, the second time that I’ve listened to it, some of the more interesting nuances of the disc have really shown themselves to…
Stabbed in Back play a brand of fast, thrashy punk that tries to sound like DRI but ultimately more updated; this is a less tongue in cheek version of Sum 41. The track “Hopeless Romantic” is a few seconds over two minutes, but the band already seems to be running into a problem of not having enough in the way of material to fill their tracks. The track does…
I thought this was going to be much more of a jazz album than anything else. I guess that was due to the fact that SSM is an acronym much as Medeski, Martin, and Wood. Don’t be confused; when “Exit Strategy” starts out, all that one is hit with is a very noise and loud band in the rockabilly meets rock tradition. In a sense, the band reminds me…

It has been about six months since I last heard SSM. SSM last time (on their self-titled full length album) was a band that had talent but did not always turn it into successes on the album. This is a six-song EP of newer tracks. The disc starts with “Put Me In”, a dance-worthy track that unfortunately has the vocals hidden to a fault behind the rest of the…
Can you introduce yourself? How long have you been active? – I’m LexRox and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been singing since I was about 3 years old, but knew I wanted to be a performer when I was 11. Ever since then I’ve been working nonstop on my music career. How does a track move from initial thought to finished effort? – For me, it starts out as just…
I have been lucky enough to hear of the Teen Idols before I approached this album but not lucky enough to have actually heard them. SO, I cam into this review with no pre-established notions about what either of the bands sound like. This is always a plus for me, as I do not have to go and delete any possible bias I have towards the band before I review…
Purchasing a piano should be seen as the time when a family can be said to truly have achieved success. I believe that even beyond its desire as a status symbol, it provides a considerable amount of gravitas to wherever one is living. There is a company that can create Rebuilt Steinway, ensuring that the cost that a family will be out is considerably smaller than if they had to…
Judi’s vocals are hard to get into, being simultaneously shrill and gruff, much like Apocalipstick’s lead, Jackie. If one can imagine it, “Rock This” is an ideological, harder sequel to the soundtrack to “Josie and the Pussycats”, which actually makes sense since the individual who was mainly responsible for “Josie’s” tracks was Kay Hanley (from Letters to Cleo). “I Hate You” moves into the territory of Bitch and Animal,…
The reason Bill O’Reilly is so annoyed by comic actor Stephen Colbert is because he has managed to not only pull-off a perfect homage to the conservative blowhard, but found a way to be incredibly successful at it, with a popular talk show on Comedy Central, a DVD and a series of books. This summer Colbert and his crew even managed to make a poke fun at the absurdity of…
