“Comin’ Back Again” starts out with the very college rock-friendly track “Do You Feel High”, which mixes equal parts Joseph Arthur, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band and OAR to make something that is wildly accessible. The White Stripes-like drumming of “Another Negotiation” really re-casts Jake’s band into something that is closer to Jet than anything, while Jake’s vocals themselves really tend to find themselves close to Toby Mac (DC Talk)…
Dead Waves are a three-piece NYC based Punk band, formed by brothers Ted (Bass/Vocals) and Nick Panopoulos (Guitar/Vocals), and featuring Franz Streit (Drums). Drawing from a wide variety of influences, and the unrefined DIY spirit which inspired them, Dead Waves aim to bring something fresh and unique to the Indie music world by writing, producing and self-releasing their debut EP, Kill the Youth.
Gates to the Pantheon is the fourth album from Negator, and the 9 tracks contained within showcase considerable evolution and tightening of the band’s sound. The album starts out strong with Bringer of War and The Last Sermon. Rather than continue to hammer their sound over listeners, Negator changes gears with Serpent’s Court. Serpent’s Court has a more brooding and darkly emotive feel, a trend that is made more common…

Lorient, France’s DEATH ENGINE deliver violent and obscure noise in the vein of Playing Enemy, Swans or Amenra. Recorded in a live setting and mixed by producer/engineer Amaury Sauvé at La Senelle (Birds In Row, As We Draw, Direwolves…) then mastered by Sylvain Biguet, their debut EP “Amen” features four tracks of thunderous riffs, cutthroat vocals and hypnotic drumming, like cathedrals collapsing in slow-motion. “Amen” will be released on 10″…
It has been a while since I’ve heard anything that so successfully blends stoner rock with an absolutely brutal metal style. This is exactly what Stonegard does when they open up their “Arrows”, and the step-ladder approach to their guitars during the formative period of the disc will engage listeners for the entirety of tracks like “Hunter”. Much like a harder Monster Magnet or a more brutal Fireball Ministry, Stonegard…
Defiant and ambitious, Bedfordshire five-piece Gold Skies Ahead have established themselves as a refreshingly dynamic force in a currently stale musical climate. Having released their debut EP in 2012 to critical acclaim, the next chapter for the band is imminent with the release of their sophomore EP ‘Bremerton’ on the 15th July. Produced by pop-punk legend Mike Herrera of MxPx in Seattle, USA andmixed/ mastered by former SikTh vocalist Justin Hill (Young Guns, Rise to…
Witness: A World in Conflict Through A Lens focuses on four distinct locations – Juarez, Libya, South Sudan, and Rio. Michael Mann (Thief, The Aviator, and Texas Killing Fields) focuses on the plights captured by combat photographers. Merely existing in these war-zones is a difficult enough tasks, but being the individual that captures these hells is something completely different. What results in Witness is a tremendously personal film that utilizes…

Onkyo, the world’s foremost manufacturer of hi-fi and home theater component systems has joined forces with Eleven Seven Music on this tour to create a unique…
The interesting thing about Stigers’ opening track on “No Vacancy” is that is sounds as if ey will break into a much harder chorus than what ultimately comes to bear during “Ruide With You”. In fact, what results in the chorus of “Ride With You” is something that closely parallels early Sammy Hagar or ZZ Top. The track still is fun to listen to, and could easily be on any…

Pow-Wow Botanical Rye Whiskey has one of the most eclectic sets of flavors that we have ever experienced in whiskey. The rye whiskey format always has more nuance than a comparable barley or corn whiskey. The inclusion of botanicals (including Orange Peel and Saffron) to Pow-Wow ensures that no two tastes will be exactly the same. While we had sips that were more fruit-lead, others yielded something much more sweet…

A. Echéance / Nos tristesses se rejoignent ici / Tu as honte parfois B. Encore une fois / Ce sera un temps de malheur / No Time to Be 21 (The Adverts cover) Bad choices, bad actions, bending bones. “If I could just start over…” only to make the same mistakes. I blame myself, but I won’t flee. I’ll absorb. Go down, go down, go deeper. I’ll choose the synthesizers…

A manic barrage of soaring female vocals, distorted guitars, tribal percussion, controlled by structured dynamic song writing. Musical astrophysics.

Based in melody and distortion, their live show is a combination of unique vocals, evocative music and narrative film. They have been featured by the likes of NPR All…

Very few single compound-containing supplements are able to provide a significant effect for those that are taking them. Syneburn, a Primaforce supplement, contains 10 milligrams of Synephrine from Citrus Aurantium (Bitter Orange). Supplementation with Syneburn will provide a large boost to one’s energy without the rapid crash that energy pills provide. Furthermore, Syneburn decreases the overall hunger level of those that supplement with it, decreasing the desire to snack and…
“Lost in Time” has a shine that is unmistakably eighties, whether it is through the Cure-like guitars or the melodramatic vocals present on the track. The track is intense yet unmistakably depressing; the aforementioned guitar lines elicit sympathy and remorse for the lead male vocalist. Continuing the retro style of “Lost In Time”, the vocals move even more close to recreating those of Robert Smith during “Damn This Foolish…
Dan Deacon’s new music video for his RSD single ‘Konono Ripoff Nº1’ is a snap shot, time capsule and video yearbook of the Baltimore scene rolled into one. Like many of Deacon’s art project-as-music-videos (see ‘True Thrush‘ music video from Deacon’s 2012 full-length America) the cast is made up of the Baltimore arts community. The video is a series of animated GIF portraits of each cast member with objects they…
