Jonuh – S/T (CD)

Jonuh’s “The Fight” starts off this EP, and what immediately results from this track is a realization that the band likes itself a LOT of Yellowcard. In fact, Yellowcard is pretty much the only influence that one can hear on this early track. To their credit, there is much more of a rock sound that is present during this opening track than what the aforementioned band typically inserted into their…

Jonny Lives – Get Steady (CD)

Jonny Lives starts off their “Get Steady” with a brand of current, alternative rock (a la Weezer and the Lonely H) that has tremendous dues to give to sixties rock (for a more current comparison, rent a copy of That Thing You Do and you’ll get an idea). “No Good” is the perfect introduction to the disc, as the splashy drums and strong vocals are a perfect introduction to the…

Kamileon Interview

Q:What’s your story? How did you become Kamileon? First off I would like to thank Neufutur Magazine for giving me this opportunity. It’s an honor! Originally back in early 2000 I use to practice djing at a music store out in Tri County. My friend Charles told me about the store and that’s how I started djing. I thought djing was the path for me at first but things turned…

John Shaffer – Change (CD)

John Shaffer – Change / 8 Songs / 2004 Self-Released / http://www.johnshaffermusic.com / jshaffer4634@comcast.net / Reviewed 24 May 2004 Firmly planting its roots in the Sting/Peter Gabriel/Michael Bolton sphere of things, John Shaffer has made a disc that works extraordinarily well as a background disc. The instrumentation on “Change” might be incredibly rich, but everything is produced with the same laid-back tempo that doesn’t lend itself well to exciting and…

Johnny Society – Coming To Get You (CD)

Johnny Society come through as a mix of mid-nineties Flaming Lips and Chris Isaak. In fact, “Coming To Get You’s” second track “The Witch’s Plea” has more than a passing vocal similarity to “Baby Did A Bad Bad Thing”. “Marilene” tries to bring some David Bowie falsetto into Johnny Society’s traditional sound, in what feels like a very anemic, poorly-performing track. The track would have succeeded if there were more…

Johnny Franchise and the Merchandise – Junior High Rock Show (CD)

Coming from the monstrosity of musical excellence that was TDNDOK, Johnny Franchise and the Merchandise have came from the ashes of the aforementioned act with a guitar and a new-found love of the Bloodhound Gang and the Jerky Boys. Combining the catchiness of TDNDK’s “Technophilia” with a crunchy guitar is an equation that works quite well, with the six songs ending much too fast. Technology is always Johnny Franchise and…

Bot’Ox – “Overdrive EP” out June 7 (vinyl + digital) on I’m A Cliché

After hitting toys in slomo, Bot’Ox puts it into gear and heads to the Autobahn, with up tempo drums, mad synth lines and freaky naive melody at every left turn. “Overdrive” could have been a perfect horror movie soundtrack, something like the Pop Corn theme covered by D.A.F. The new Bot’Ox “Overdrive EP” is released on June 7th with remixes from Morgan Geist, Logo and Welcome Stranger (aka Thomas Bullock…

Johnny Action Figure – Asks The Room To Please Stop Spinning (CD)

The brand of indie rock that Johnny Action Figure plays is a call back to the late nineties, where indie rock and emo did not deviate much in their general sound. There is interesting uses of time signatures during the disc’s opening track “Lose Our Face”. During “Lose Our Face”, the momentum is created both by the jangly arrangements as well as through multiple vocal layers. This gives the band…

The JonBenet – Ugly/Heartless (CD)

It takes The JonBenet a minute to get started on their “Ugly/Heartless”, but the band is able to string together a catchy chorus for “Devils” that would go up well against acts like Job For A Cowboy and even classic metal acts like Pantera. This is not saying that The JonBenet have anything really in common with these two acts, but they do come up with a wicked brand of…
