Pours with a reddish-gold and a small amount of lacing that works its way down the glass. The beer comes forth with a light floral and hoppy nose, something that will become increasingly prevalent as one begins to sip on the beer. There is a light amount of sweetness that exists at the beginning of each quaff, acting as a refresher for the beer; one will continue to relish the…

Hayseed

A perfect session beer, Hayseed has a tremendous flavor profile without having to ratchet up the alcohol content. The saison/farmhouse ale style is flavorful enough to tantalize with hints of pepper present amongst a slight bit of hop bitterness. The beer opens up considerably after warming up for a few minutes, resulting in a different experience altogether. The bitter elements fade into the background while a hint of wit style…

Full Sail Bock

The beer pours with a dark brown coloration and little to nothing in the way of head. The beer’s nose has hints of grain and a slight hint of sweetness. The bold flavors of the Bock come forth with the first good sip – there are dark fruit and peppery notes that are given further depth through the inclusion of smaller hop elements.

The Naddiks 21CB EP Review

Lost and Found is a raucous track that sails on a fuzzy sea of guitars and intensively emotive vocals that are equal amounts Dexter Holland, Justin Sane, and Paul Westerberg. The dynamic between the guitars and drums creates something that is absurdly fast while possessing just enough order to properly wallop anyone that is listening in.

Pedro Soler & Philippe Mouratoglou to play Isaac Albeniz’s “Rumores de la Caleta”

The work of Isaac Albéniz (1860-1909) draws profound inspiration from popular music, such as Suite espagnole, Iberia, Recuerdos de Viaje, and Cantos de España. Even though he composed for the piano with the greatest respect for the original forms – sevillanas, malagueñas, bulerias – his style is influenced by the specific colors of the guitar.

Harry Thomsen – “Law of Thinking”, “Law of Forgiveness”, and “Law of Sacrifice”

Harry Thomsen has cut three tracks – Law of Thinking, Law of Forgiveness, and Law of Sacrifice – that are based on the writings of Dr. Raymond Holliwell. Law of Thinking is an orchestral rock effort that links together the Scorpions and Kix. The deliberate beat that is weaved through the effort is countered nicely through Giddam’s vocal contributions.

Axixic Dancing on the Moon CD Review

Dancing on the Moon’s titular track is a track that has is compelling, alluring, and punctual to a point. The track has hints of James Taylor, Warren Zevon, and George Strait. Axixic’s technical ability is what will keep fans coming back for more; the compositions that are present during Dancing on the Moon are able to seem listen and airy while possessing very dense and deep compositions. Ghosts of Huron…

David Arn Walking to Dreamland CD Review

Walking to Dreamland is a track that ties together the pop and rock styles from the sixties to the current day. The dynamic that Arn crafts between the guitar, piano, and vocals during this introductory track will cause listeners to take notice; they will be hooked. Better Off Today slows things up, allowing for a more complex and introspective style to issue forth.
