The Submarines Declare A New State CD Review

  “Peace and Hate” is the perfect opening for The Submarines, as it shows their ability to create a catchy indie-rock track that continues pushing on listeners even though the tempo is slower than many comparable songs. The inclusion of airy guitars during the track will make individuals remember acts like The Red Hot Valentines, while the blend of vocals scream The Anniversary. While the second set of vocals drops…

Labrada Lean Body Gold Protein Bar Review

What results in the Lean Body Gold protein bar is something that will easily replace a meal; while the bar itself…

Big Bear Black Stout Review

This imperial stout is one of the most memorable that we have experienced; Bear Republic has created a delectable array of styles and flavors with the Big Bear Black Stout. Served cold in a 22 ounce bottle, the beer pours incredibly dark, with a small, tan head sitting on the top. As one continues to drink the Big Bear Black Stout, a light amount of lacing will occur. When individuals…

FlatWave Amped Antenna Review

  The sheer thinness of the FlatWave Amped ensures that it can be placed up at any position. The antenna allows for HDTV signals to be picked up to a range of 50 miles, a considerable increase over TV antennas and off-the-shelf offerings. The cable that Winegard provides is long enough to place the antenna in a spot with the greatest reception, while the antenna is dual-band. The dual-band designation…

There are few protein mixes that can be used to created delectable means.

They can still rock, but there’s a bit more of a worn in, dust-crusted on the boots swagger with their songs now. And decamping to Nashville before working on this record has made the evolution that much more stark.  …

The Summer of Beer and Whiskey Book Review

On its surface, The Summer of Beer and Whiskey is a book about the birth of the upstart American Association baseball league in the 1880’s and about Chris von der Ahe, the eccentric owner of the St. Louis Browns who purchased the team so that he could sell more beer. That in and of itself might make for an interesting story, but one with limited appeal if you’re not interested…
