CORRECTIONS HOUSE is an eclectic collective of musical miscreants featuring Mike IX Williams (Eyehategod), Sanford Parker (Nachtmystium), Scott Kelly (Neurosis), and Bruce Lamont (Yakuza). Together they sew a difficult-to-pigeonhole quilt of poetic misanthropy, industrial ear lashings and pure sonic menace.

A Whisper to a Roar DVD Review

With the travesty that is erupting in Syria right now, the fascinating documentary A Whisper to a Roar can serve as inspiration to just how powerful average citizens can be when they decide to say “Enough is enough” to the political status quo.

A Royal Affair DVD Review

  A Royal Affair was helmed by the creative team behind the transference of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo from book to film. The sheer amount of drama that is conveyed with this film is excellent. While the actions that are captured here took place in the distant past, there is a sense that the torrid love affair that this film focuses on could easily happy today. A Royal…

Straight Dope Cherry Bell Bottom Baby CD Review

To say that “Alpha Ram” is not influenced heavily by the psychedelic and rock music of the mid to late sixties would be to lie outright. The style is fresh enough and Straight Dope Cherry does not suffer from the limited sound that a great many of the albums from that era have. There are some more diverse sounds than those previously mentioned during “Alpha Ram”; Straight Dope Cherry throws…

La Quinta Harrisburg, PA Hotel Review

In the interest of full disclosure, I have had some great nights at the La Quinta hotels in Detroit, MI and Meridian, MS. I found a great deal on the new La Quinta in Harrisburg, but had some complaints about the property. There was a set of lights in the room that would not turn on, and the water was not hot in the slightest. I’d venture to say that…

  For their second full length, Philly power pop band The Fleeting Ends seems to have dug deep into the crate of vinyl for inspiration pulling out everything from XTC and The Features to Cheap Trick and Material Issue – never a bad combo. The result, Our Eyes Are Peeled, is quite impressive. Songs like the strings-laced “Operator” and the slow-build goodness of “Poor Gloria” highlight a band that’s found…
