Ready Never Eleutherophobia CD Review

Ready Never provide a tremendous wallop with Take That Pill, the first single off of their album Eleutherophobia. This cut blends equal amounts of EDM and pop, creating something that will be on heavy rotation no matter whether individuals are in Miami, Ibiza, or any other dance hot spot. The vocal quality of the track is impressive, providing a nice foil for the lively arrangements.

Robert Nix Last Day On Earth CD Review

Give It Up is a track that utilizes complex time signatures and a mélange of styles as diverse as showtunes, eighties pop, and fifties ballads. The sheer diversity of influences that are broached on Last Day of Earth considerably increases the replay value of the title.

A Modern Way To Die Pulse and Treatment CD Review

The band begins their Pulse and Treatment with a rock styling that touches upon late-nineties alternative and goth-rock. The grinding, intense (but ultimately radio-friendly) style of the band will tattoo itself into the minds and hearts of listeners, providing them with the momentum that they need to continue through Pulse and Treatment.

Oasis – Definitely Maybe [Remastered] CD

Putting aside for a minute the truly obnoxious personalities of the Gallagher brothers, it’s hard to find fault with the band’s debut, Definitely Maybe. Released in 1994, when the U.S. was still madly in love with grunge, Oasis lead a second British Invasion (well, tried, at least).

Southern Tier’s Goat Boy Review

Weizenbock beers are a different style than what many breweries are currently promoting, and I feel that Southern Tier really puts their best foot forward with their 7.5% entry, Goat Boy.

Saison-Brett 2014 Review

Saison-Brett 2014 is one of the most interesting and unique efforts that we have had the chance to review at NeuFutur. While it seems like a large subset of breweries are coming out with a saison or a farmhouse ale style for spring, Boulevard’s Saison-Brett is miles more complex and intricate of an experience. 2014’s Saison-Brett pours with a long-lasting white head and a hazy yellow-bronze color, yielding grassy, floral,…

The Bruery Sour in the Rye 2014 Edition Review

Sweet and without much a tart bite, The Bruery’s Sour in the Rye pours with a dark and dirty coloration. The effort’s head is substantial and slowly retreats. Sour in the Rye possesses a nose that focuses on citrus and bread / yeast, while the initial sip provides imbibers with funky, fruity, and barnyard notes.

A Traveler CD Review

A Traveler is a tremendously emotional and touching composition that links together the singer-songwriter tradition with emotive rock and alternative styles. A smart production ensures that listeners will be able to pick out the vocals, drums, or horns and be able to wholly enjoy what is being laid down.
