This is perhaps the best antenna that we have ever seen; while there are a number of efforts on the market, The Leaf Ultimate surpasses them in sheer quality. The mud-flap styled design (established originally by the U.S. military) provides a large surface area. This allows the antenna to pick up the widest array of signals; The Leaf Ultimate has a range of 50 miles. The Leaf Ultimate is multidirectional,…
Los Angeles-based Irontom comes from good stock, be it their influences (big, Led Zeppelin power chords crossed with energetic arrangements reminiscent of early Artic Monkeys) or the fact that guitarist Zach Irons and drummer Dylan Williams are the respective son and nephew of rock and roll journeyman Jack Irons, original drummer for Red Hot Chili Peppers and assorted rock legacy (Pearl Jam, Joe Strummer etc). In fact, Zach was taught to…

The cohesiveness of Costa’s new album will bring a number of new fans aboard. The album opens up with Loving You, a track that looks back at 2010’s Mobile Chateau while allowing Costa to shift things considerable. Lyrical intensity melds perfectly with an approachable instrumentation to give the album the momentum it needs to succeed. Early November is the shortest effort on the title, but Costa utilizes the 2:30…
Gabriel Iglesias has evolved considerably since eir initial stand-up specials. I feel that what has changed the most is Iglesias’s pacing. There never was an issue to be had with the material or the interaction that ey had with the audience, but Iglesias does well in Aloha Fluffy to ratchet things up considerably and establish a strong cadence for each joke. What results in Aloha Fluffy is bar none one…

Richmond, Virginia-based Forcefield Records is pleased to announce the signing of Italian doom miscreants, GRIME! Forged just three years ago in Trieste, Italy, GRIME spew a cogent wall of filth, decay and soul-scarring sludge metal battery. Their forthcoming offering comes in the form of the fittingly dubbed Deteriorate. The follow-up to their six-track self-released debut, which Pure Grain Audio simply called “dirty-as-fuck,” offers up a bottom heavy exhibition of…

Been listening to GMC & Dialect from local artists. I try to take the best bits of any artist I like and blend them into my style without ever biting their sound, rather to create my own.…
Natsume’s Book of Friends is far from typical fare. There is a certain care put into the small details. This means that the backdrops feel as if the characters live in the real life, instead of a set of (more or less) static locations. The show itself has legs, keeping things fresh even after the completion of two full seasons. The show has a tremendous knack at resolving…
