Let a Cold Man Die is the star of Them Howling Bones’ self-titled EP. There is an early twentieth century blues / call and response style that is updated for fans of current hard rock acts (Jet, Airbourne, Queens of the Stone Age). Great depth on the arrangements here makes this ready for rock rotation.
La Fin Du Monde pours with a dark tan to dirty yellow color and possesses light wisps of bubbles at the top of the pour. The beer possesses a slightly tart nose that opens up to something slightly astringent and with a fair amount of sweetness. The overall presence of the beer in one’s mouth dissipates quickly, meaning that individuals will continually have a fresh experience of the beer. La Fin…
Orabelle is a Belgian tripel that pours with a golden yellow coloration and little in the way of head. The beer is more sneaky in overall alcohol presentation than many other tripels. There is a considerable floral and fruit side that is present at the beginning of each sip. The beer shifts into something incredibly easy to drink, with sweet and slightly tart elements present at about equal amounts. The streamlining of…
Previously available in the brewery’s Big Beer series Smuttynose’s Baltic Porter is now available through the year in 12-ounce bottles. The beer pours with an inky dark brown coloration and little to nothing in the way of head. The initial sip will provide imbibers with a phenolic opening and a sweeter backdrop. Hints of dark fruits, vanilla, and tinges of whiskey make for a complex constellation that presents itself variously…

The Weather Station, the musical project of Toronto artist Tamara Lindeman, has announced a new album, entitled Loyalty. The project’s first release on Paradise of Bachelors wrestles with knotty notions of faithfulness and faithlessness – to our idealism, our constructs of character, our memories, and to our family, friends, and lovers – representing a bold step forward into new sonic and psychological inscapes. It’s a natural progression for Lindeman’s acclaimed…

Great Divide have released their Espresso Oak Aged Yeti and the effort is able to marry hops, bitterness and a velvety mouth feel into one of the deepest and darkest efforts that I have tasted this year. The beer pours with an extremely opaque dark brown coloration and a mocha/tan head.

Back in the US, Charlie Belle, armed with songs written by 16-year-old vocalist and guitarist Jendayi Bonds, is making an impact among those seeking out tunes that can stand the test of time, but are also fun to sing along to.
Déracinés Des Hommes will have listeners comparing Francbâtards to acts like Sublime and The Transplants; stellar instrumentation and intensely-spat vocals make this six-plus minute track go by like it barely reached 90 seconds. The band is able to place so many twists and turns to this composition that listeners will have to dissect each track on this self-titled release to hear precisely what the act has hidden amongst each guitar…
Like I Do is a crossover-quality track that will have fans of dance and R&B styles eagerly anticipating the rest of the efforts on GATA City. The production on Like I Do is stellar, pushing the instrumental and the vocal sides of the composition to an entirely new plateau. With this lively feel, listeners will be hurtled along GATA City until they come to I Like. I Like goes back…

Can you give us a little background about your music? How did you initially get interested and what sorts of inspirations did you experience? I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I was one of those girls who closed her bedroom door and looked in the mirror while singing into my hairbrush. My .. was I something!! My cheeks flush at remembering how stupid I felt when my mother walked in…

We’re sitting down with The Frequency ( http://soundcloud.com/thefrequencyband1 ), an eclectic rock band from Adelaide (Australia). How did the band come to be? Tom: The band came about when Anthony and I were jamming on guitar and bass at my house one day. We were joined by a classmate at our school, and we performed under the name of ‘Infinite’. After disagreements within Infinite, the guitarist left and was replaced by…
The Beat of the Funeral Drum has a complex tempo that works well with the UK 82 punk trappings that Steve has placed into the track. The drumming present here add complexity to the track, while the swirling guitars present at pieces make for a fulfilling cut. My Spleen Is a Beastmachine is a six-plus minute track that utilizes Lieberman’s trademark flute in a fun fashion; there is a tribal…
Typically, writing a review only takes about 6-8 hours of listening to music and about an hour or two to write the review. When it comes to the multimedia effort of RVC (Ross Charmoli), I can honestly say that I have taken better parts of days trying to understand what has been presented. What I was able to glean with my RVC experience is that there is considerable depth to…
