Clive Working for the Man in the Age of Vinyl by Don Silver Book Review

Not to be confused with the just-released memoir by Arista Records legend Clive Davis (The Soundtrack of My Life), Don Silver’s slim, paperback memoir covering much of the time he worked with Davis is actually a far more interesting read. Yes, Davis admits to his bisexuality and battles with Kelly Clarkston in his autobiography, but Silver is far more revealing about just how much of a jackass his former boss…

GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling DVD

  GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling is a documentary that looked to capture the unique tenor that the titular promotion had. The production was on par with the regional federations at its time (GLOW was formed in 1985), while the vignettes and characters seemed to forecast the New Generation era of the WWE. While the wrestlers were a blend of trained and actresses, there was no…

Irontom’s Debut EP The Loose Available Now

Los Angeles-based Irontom comes from good stock, be it their influences (big, Led Zeppelin power chords crossed with energetic arrangements reminiscent of early Artic Monkeys) or the fact that guitarist Zach Irons and drummer Dylan Williams are the respective son and nephew of rock and roll journeyman Jack Irons, original drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers and assorted rock legacy (Pearl Jam, Joe Strummer etc). In fact, Zach was taught to…

Matt Costa S/T CD Review

  The cohesiveness of Costa’s new album will bring a number of new fans aboard. The album opens up with Loving You, a track that looks back at 2010’s Mobile Chateau while allowing Costa to shift things considerable. Lyrical intensity melds perfectly with an approachable instrumentation to give the album the momentum it needs to succeed. Early November is the shortest effort on the title, but Costa utilizes the 2:30…

There never was an issue to be had with the material or the interaction that ey had with the audience, but Iglesias does well in Aloha Fluffy to ratchet things up considerably and establish a strong cadence for each joke. What results in Aloha Fluffy is bar none one…

Grime Joins Forcefield Records

Richmond, Virginia-based Forcefield Records is pleased to announce the signing of Italian doom miscreants, GRIME!   Forged just three years ago in Trieste, Italy, GRIME spew a cogent wall of filth, decay and soul-scarring sludge metal battery. Their forthcoming offering comes in the form of the fittingly dubbed Deteriorate. The follow-up to their six-track self-released debut, which Pure Grain Audio simply called “dirty-as-fuck,” offers up a bottom heavy exhibition of…
