Slayer / Anthrax / Death Angel (9/27, Orlando, FL)

Suicidal Tendencies – World Gone Mad CD Review

“Clap Like Ozzy” is an absolutely furious opening tot he latest album from Suicidal Tendencies. The intense guitars, breakneck drums, and crystal-clear vocals will have listeners sitting on the edges of their seats. “The New Degeneration” is a churning, brutal track that calls back to the band’s mid-1980s output. The guitar work cuts through the track while the drums keep listeners on their toes. A chugging, straight-forward section brings the cut…

Honey and Jude’s Weirdos and Freaks is a punky, poppy track that will immediately bury itself deep into the minds and hearts of anyone listening in. The two-part vocals variously build off of the tradition of Bif Naked, Paramore, Justin Guarini and Joe Jonas.

Alicia Rae – Little Warrior

Alicia Rae’s Little Warrior is a powerful effort. The single needs little more than Alicia’s vocals and piano to begin, moving into a more intricate space as the rest of the band kicks in. Rae is able to blend together pop, country, and inspirational music into something engaging.
