Custom Writing

There are a number of individuals that wish to buy essays, but just do not know where to go to do so. There is a website called custom-essay.org that individuals can get pieces of custom writing from, and at a price that won’t make individuals have to subsist on ramen noodles. essay writing is a hard field to find quality skills in, but I believe that a site like custom-essay.org…

Scene of Action – S/T

Scene of Action – S/T / 2007 Pop Smear / 5 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/sceneofaction / http://www.popsmearrecords.com / I have to be honest here. When I first the instrumentation at the beginning of Scene of Action’s disc, I heard The Killers. In much of the same way, the first time I heard the band’s vocals on “Daydream Stop hock”, I thought they paid off Gerard Way to do the vocals. The…

The Toy Dolls – Our Last DVD? / 2006 MVD / 72 Minutes / http://www.mvdb2b.com / Why is it that The Toy Dolls look exactly the same as when they started out their career in 1979? Why is it that when I’m not looking at the screen and just listening to the style of their music, I am not sure whether this is 1980, 1990, 2000, or 2006? The video…

Caleb Micah – Come Home

Caleb Micah – Come Home / 2007 Aux / 6 Tracks / http://www.calebmich.com / http://www.auxrecords.com / “Come Home” starts out with “Juan Shoe is Gonna Rock You!”, a track that uses a duet of vocals done in a back and forth style that is given the perfect amount of support by the slightly country-tinged sound of the guitars and drums. This style reminds me vaguely of The Anniversary, but don’t…

The Action Design – Into A Sound

The Action Design – Into A Sound / 2007 Pop Smear / 6 Tracks / http://www.theactiondesign.com / http://www.popsmearrecords.com / The first track on “Into A Sound” is “The Scissor Game” and it gives The Action Design a rock meets goth type of sound that really brings the band into a Nightwish or an Evanscence sound in my opinion. The second track on the disc is “Eyes On Me”, and aside…
