The complexity that Julian & The Upside Sound craft on efforts like Out of Time is astounding; listeners can honestly sit down and unravel all the twists and turns on the track over the course of repeat plays. This complexity does not impact the allure of the band – fans can easily turn on this CD and be taken away by the compositions that are presented. Silverlining Waltz slows…

Yesterday evening, Rookie Magazine premiered “Crimson Wave,” the second mp3 from NVM, the upcoming full-length by Seattle pop-punk faves Tacocat. BUST Magazine has already praised NVM as a record that’s “full of hilarious jokes, ferocious tambourines, and pop hooks galore” which will have you “struggling to sing along, due to your inability to stifle LOLs.” They single out “Crimson Wave” as a “clever surf-rock ode to dealing with periods.” Stream or download the track at the link above.…

Turn Up Your Night will debut with GRAMMY nominated DJ/producer/songwriter Zedd. “Every night has that ‘turn up moment,’ as does every song,” said Zedd. “Bud Light Platinum has worked with a…
The hard, heavily distorted edge of “Life” moves into something that is odd, to say the least. The nearest thing that I could compare Sweet Distortion to would have to be a blend of Korn, D.R.I., and Megadeth. That is to say, the act goes forth and blends a number of harder styles while keeping things as current as can be. The production of the disc is solid, allowing the…
It takes Sweater Club a few minutes to get started on their “Pt. I”, but when the bass line starts chugging, individuals should know that they are going to be in for an intense listen. In fact, the style of this opening to “Five More Minutes” feels more like a Don Henley track than anything. The fact that Sweater Club have taken the eighties so seriously means that the band…

THE LAWRENCE ARMS are streaming their new album Metropole, a week before the January 28 release date at The AV Club. Listen now by visiting: http://www.avclub.com/article/stream-metropole-the-new-record-from-the-lawrence-107088 Metropole is the first album in 8 years from the Chicago bred trio. It’s a blistery, hook-heavy sound with a lyrical narrative that captures what vocalist/bassist Brendan Kellys calls “that alone-in-a-crowd, stranger-in-a-strange-land kind of shit—a feeling of such weird solitude that you don’t even…

Carey (Sean Carey), Range of Light, out April 1, 2014 (March 31 in the UK).

Alarm clocks are so commonplace in houses and hotels that one would not expect that a camera would be contained within. The SC8000 has a tremendous amount of functionality beyond its obvious notification mode. The camera is able to record high-quality video even in low light / darkness – the 30 frames per second level ensures that one is provided with a fluid video rather than a choppy collection of…
Many of the extra tools that come with household shavers attempt to allow individuals to detail their nose, eyebrows, and neckline. However, I feel that Wahl’s Lighted Detailer is able to have a single, unitary focus and succeeds at providing individuals with shapely necklines, brows, and sideburns at a very approachable price (the detailer is available online for around $15-20).The detailer is powered through one AA battery, and has a…
Smirnoff’s Sorbet Light line is one of the few [product offerings that allow imbibers that want to have a diet beverage the ability to have it both taste delectable and still be wholly walloped by the alcohol percentage. The brand has a new offering – Pineapple Coconut – that contains 30% ABV. The vodka contains 78 calories in each shot (1.5 fluid ounce serving size), meaning that one will be…
The beer pours with a very bright copper color. The head that pours from the bomber is fairly substantial and with a slight off-white tone. An initial mouthfeel is fairly substantial and provides imbibers with a slight amount of carbonation; the light bubbly touch allows for a much greater gradient of flavors to be present in the ESB. The nose of the ESB links together hops with a sweet blend…
Young Detective Dee Rise of the Sea Dragon is a 2013 film that works as a predecessor to Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame, and provides fans of the initial film with ample backstory and a plot that is at least as alluring as the first film. Mark Chao (Dee Renjie) and Carina Lau (Wu Zetian) step into their previous role, while the cast is further bolstered…
The Following is one of the hottest shows on TV, looking to reinvigorate the cat-and-mouse, criminal and lawman genre utilizing hints of crime fiction, police procedural, and mystery genres. The absolutely star-studded cast (Kevin Bacon, James Purefoy, Natalie Zea) took to the air early in 2013, and have captured a considerable viewer share throughout its initial 15-episode run. The dynamic that is present between the serial killer Joe Carroll (Purefoy)…
The sweet notes that are presented to imbibers are moderated through the presence of a warming alcohol touch. The 9.1 IBUs of the Abbey Dubbel allow for an absolutely approachable effort that is much more meaty and fulfilling than more hop-heavy efforts. The fruit elements (banana, dark fruit, apricot) provide additional facets to the beer. The bold elements of the beer are refreshed through the presence of tart notes, raisins,…
Can the music that you composed for Cowboys and Indians be enjoyed outside of the setting of the film? Does the context in which one listens to your music change based on how they experience the compositions? I always intend for the scores I write to stand on their own outside of the film. It is usually a challenge since most film scores need to be very subtle and can…
