Pinnacle Peppermint Bark Vodka Review

Pinnacle Peppermint Bark is one of the latest efforts by Pinnacle, and represents a bold new flavor profile for vodka.

Z.O.N.K. You Oughta Know Review

The scratching and sampling of the beginning moments of “You Oughta Know” should remind individuals of artists like The Avalanches and Kid Koala; the sultry vocals that come soon after are a direct blend of Portishead and The Propellerheads.

Zozobra Harmonic Tremors CD Review

The one thing that I wonder about Zozobra is how they were able to get on Hydra Head. The style of music that they play on tracks like “The Blessing” is pure stoner meets gruinge rock. One hears hints of early Tool, Alice in Chains, and Temple of the Dog in “Harmonic Tremors”. This is not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination, but the approachability of…
