Sudden Victory is the latest effort from Baltimore’s The Perfects, and each of the cuts presented here provide considerable insight for listeners. The album begins with a titular opener; the new wave styling of The Perfects seems vital and current with each subsequent note. The track acts as a microcosm of the styles, genres, and approaches taken during the whole of Sudden Victory. Control is a sub-three minute effort…
1. Black; noting the black numbers in roulette. 2. Relating to the film noir genre and or of crime literature featuring tough, cynical characters in dark settings. 3. Suggestive of danger or violence. New York City is a world of shadows, thieves and con men, its chilling concrete landscapes are a fitting filmic backdrop for the aural futuristic pleasures of NOIR, a band whose deep electronic rhythms fuel darkened beats…
Puscifer, the Northern Arizona-based band helmed by Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle), will release an eight-song EP titled Donkey Punch The Night on Feb. 19 via Puscifer Entertainment. “While continuing our tradition of releasing a few new songs at a time,” explained Keenan. “I also had an itch that needed scratching, and that it was ‘Balls To The Wall.’ Which was followed by an even harder to reach…

We have reviewed a number of whiskeys in NeuFutur, but Gentleman Jack has always been elusive. We were luck enough to receive a bottle for review, and are pleased to report that it is perhaps the best value for price that one can find at a liquor store. Gentleman Jack is extremely versatile, and it is this “everything for everyone” attitude that gives it such worth. The spirit will work…

A main focus of StompTown Revival’s music ministry is about reaching non-Christians and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. The duo answered that call on a recent 7-day missions trip to Thailand where the band played numerous concerts in churches, nightclubs, and Buddhist schools, and where Gabe Martinez’s and Brandon Bee’s music and testimonies touched the lives of thousands and led to 20 people converting to Christianity. The Christian…

Currently deep in the midst of the colossal Firepower Tour across the U.S. with Datsik, he is set to release Bassline Skanka, his debut EP on the label of the same name, on November 20. The Vermont-based musician has been making music and toying with different genres since his early teens, but…

Columbus, Ohio-band Red Wanting Blue wrapped up the fall leg of its “From The Vanishing Point” tour with a sold-out show at the 1300-capacity House of Blues in Cleveland last Friday. Following a quick stop this past Sunday in West Virginia to tape an episode of NPR’s “Mountain Stage” program with Dr. Dog headlining, the band now heads to Canada for the first time for a series of shows supporting…
Steel Train is a band that seems to be a more electrified version of Vetiver, looking back to the entirety of the American music tradition, with tracks like “Road Song” looking back to both the average Country and Western band and The Beach Boys, all while infusing their own sound to the mixture. The entirety of “Prairies of the Sun” works underneath a very leisurely pace; this is not…
Grammy-Nominated Producer/DJ/Composer/Technologist BT has just released an epic 13 minute Music Video for the song “13 Angels On My Broken Windowsill” from his recent album “If The Stars Are Eternal, So Are You And I.” The sonic journey throughout the video is matched only by the powerful video featuring breakthrough timelapse footage from pioneering photographer Randy Halverson. Watch The Video on YouTube: (Don’t See The Video? View on the Web)…
With a strong dose of John Melloncamp and the raspiness of a Bob Dylan, the Steel Pier Sinners bash through this extended EP almost too quickly to affect their audience. “Essex Road” shows the ebb and flow of the band, in that the twinkling of the high hats provided by Tony flow in perfectly to Ryan’s bass and Meagan’s guitar. Not immediately able to be categorized, Steel Pier Sinners would…
I always thought that Stavesacre was a much harder band than what is found on “How To Live With A Curse”. The style is something that is a blend of Deftones and P.O.D.; Stavesacre open up this album with a radio-friendly track that echoes throughout whatever room individuals are playing the CD in. The guitar work that is present during the opening minutes of the track hides behind the…
Pretty Little Baby is more than just an album, it’s Amy Regan’s mission to reconnect with the single most important element of her music career: her art. After the release of two critically acclaimed EPs, a feature in a national commercial, and brushing shoulders with industry folk, Regan shifted her mind and creative energy to rediscover the pure motivation for creating her music. The result was an album built around one…

Comprised of a collective of scene veterans having spent time in previous area acts including Thank God, Guyana Punchline, .fuckingcom, and Tunguska, BURNT BOOKS amalgamate their influences into a unique brew of angst-ridden, off-kilter punk mayhem. Amidst solid bursts of regional stateside touring since their mid-2011 inception, the…
Outer Osmo Ghost Mode is a fictional narrative centered around the interactions of Elda and Dell Banner, two online avatars stuck in the home map of a proto-virtual internet exploration program, Osmo. You create an avatar based on your self, and much like the program Second Life, create a ritual of activities that mirrors some idealized version of your life. Elda and Dell were created by an actual married couple…
European electro-pop duo The Green Children have recently shared the official lyric video for their latest single, “Feel the Light.” In addition to the song’s charming lyrics, the clip features illustrations and animation by Steven Bussey (Queens of the Stone Age, Sia). The track appears on their new Feel the Light EP, available now on iTunes. After meeting at Sir Paul McCartney’s Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts and quickly signing…
WHY? has at last unleashed their fifth long-player, a meticulous work of morbid fascination and offbeat romanticism dubbed Mumps, etc. Though there is a mysterious sickness (perhaps of the mind) that lurks about these thirteen songs, one might also imagine the title as describing the musically swole state of these three Midwestern men as they bring their sound into glisteningly buff focus. Yoni Wolf, brother Josiah and Doug McDiarmid are…
