Life Incorporated begins after a brief introduction, which soars on intricate time signatures and an overall arrangement that puts the drums as a focal point to the band. Life Incorporated continues with Liability, an effort that is reminiscent of artists like Rites of Spring, Strike Anywhere, and early (pre Girl’s Not Grey-era AFI). There is greater emotionality and narration going on during each of the tracks on this album than…
The first time Charles Ecker and Michael Stanton worked together was when Stanton sang Ecker’s tender love ballad, “When God Created You.” That song is now in final contention for “2013 Song of the Year” at Independent Music Network breaking a record of six straight months on the Top 30 Countdown. Both have just co-written two new country love songs – “No Turnin’ Back” and “One More Night with You…
The beer opens with a strong hop nose, and pours with a light, vibrant copper color. There is a small amount of off-white head that is present, while the beer has a solid amount of effervescence that sticks with the beer long after its initial pour. The lacing continues to inch its way down the glass with subsequent sips. Bits of malt and grain can be discerned alongside the hop-forward…

<iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/3J5jrQuUnjY” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe> GossipZilla is one of the hottest mashups this year, Big Boi, UGK, Big K.R.I.T. and Blue Oyster Cult are all mixed up to make a hard-hitting track.

The Gates of Shadows leads in nicely to Evolution, a high-energy metal track that blends all the authority and power of eighties metal with a more current and contemporary production and in your face attitude. After this introductory salvo, Lucid Dream is able to move to a Queensryche meets Countdown to Extinction-era Megadeth sound; the act’s constituent elements are able to unite and provide for a track…

Q: Implicate Order is your latest album. How did the release move from initial thought to finished effort? Actually, it fragmented. When I first planned to release this music I thought one album. But as I was writing I had so much material and it was clearly in two different genres so I decided I needed to do two albums. Heavy task – right? I decided all the singer-song writer,…
The beer goes in a slightly different tank than the other winter efforts that we have received. The beer has hints of grain and malt alongside a slight hop bite. The complexity of the beer yields a different variety of flavors each time an individual has a sip. The sweetness that ties together these two elements keeps individuals wanting more; taken together, the Lakemaid Frosty Winter Lager is a beer…

The hop flavor is very light on the palette, while the slight sweetness of the beer plays nicely. The Hundred Yard Ale is something that provides hints of spring even as the temperatures stay cold. While the beer is fueled through a decent dollop of alcohol (6.8%), the overall tenor of the beer is such that one will be able to polish off a Hundred Yard Dash easily. The beer…
Blood Like Fire is a track that links together 90s indie and alternative rock with a more classic singer-songwriter style. The production of this introductory effort will immediately draw listeners in, while the smart instrumental arrangements will increase the track’s (and by extension, the album’s) replay value. Feza Feza is bolstered through the presence of Omnia Hegazy as a backing force during the song’s chorus; the track takes a considerably…
