Full Sail IPA

The beer pours a golden brown with an off-white head that sticks around for a decently long time. The beer has only a small noise of grass and light hop elements, a palette that expands considerably with the initial sip. The hops rise up in a nice crescendo, while there is a subtle sweetness that keeps the IPA from getting too bitter. The beer shifts and changes with each subsequent…

Cancers – Fatten the Leeches (CD)

While the major labels are cashing in a second time on the iconic alt rock bands of the 1990s, thanks to the two and three decade anniversary re-releases of their albums, a slew of up and coming bands are launching careers, raised on the music of Nirvana, Soundgarden and the Riotgrrl groups of Washington State. Among the most promising of that lot is Athens-based duo Cancers.

Hicks Hayride Single Review

Hayride is the latest single from Stockholm’s Hicks, who hits it out of the park with a down and dirty track that is as much Toby Keith as it is Poison. The track blends dirty, dusty nights with big city gloss and polish to provide listeners with a track that will stick with them long after the track has ceased.  The harmonies created by the instrumentation on Hayride are further…

The backing instrumentation is steeped in EDm and dance music, ensuring that fans of the eighties, nineties, and current decades of dance music will have something that they can sink…

Wicked Audio Heist In-Ear Headphones

The Heist headphones are incredibly well-designed. The design of the earbuds ensures that there is a close fit for the largest amount of the population, while the muted red/white coloration of the pair that we received absolutely popped whenever they were in our ears. I feel that the fidelity of the Heist headphones is comparable to headphones that are priced at the $100-dollar mark. This means that there is a…

Rival Empire Self-Titled CD Review

Rival Empire has created a style with their self-titled album that ties together the eighties with the current day. The band links together acts like Chromeo, Good Charlotte, and Cash Cash into something that is eminently catchy and fun. Cameo Crush builds off of a Michael Jackson hook and spins things faster, giving listeners a track that hangs with current EDM.
