It entered the Billboard 200 at No. 13, Billboard‘s Independent Albums chart at No. 3, and the Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts at a peak position of No. 4. Now, the band is pleased to announce the video for the album’s title track, which had its online debut on…
It has been about six months since I last heard SSM. SSM last time (on their self-titled full length album) was a band that had talent but did not always turn it into successes on the album. This is a six-song EP of newer tracks. The disc starts with “Put Me In”, a dance-worthy track that unfortunately has the vocals hidden to a fault behind the rest of the…
Can you introduce yourself? How long have you been active? – I’m LexRox and I’m 16 years old. I’ve been singing since I was about 3 years old, but knew I wanted to be a performer when I was 11. Ever since then I’ve been working nonstop on my music career. How does a track move from initial thought to finished effort? – For me, it starts out as just…
We’re very pleased to announce that LA’s one and only Busdriver is preparing a new album for Big Dada, to be released in the first half of next year. To mark this momentous event, we have one of the best free downloads we’ve ever offered you. Busdriver has put together a seven track EP which once again reminds us that, rather than being one of the most eccentric MCs out…
I have been lucky enough to hear of the Teen Idols before I approached this album but not lucky enough to have actually heard them. SO, I cam into this review with no pre-established notions about what either of the bands sound like. This is always a plus for me, as I do not have to go and delete any possible bias I have towards the band before I review…
Arizona sludgedemons GODHUNTER have completed the primary writing stages of their newest planet-raping audio thunder, set to be recorded and released in 2013, but have more pending matters to attend to first, as the band prepare for a few massive regional live performances this week Tonight the Tucson-based GODHUNTER will add devastating support to the Mesa, Arizona stop of the mammoth, ongoing national tour including Sourvein, Weedeater and the…

Purchasing a piano should be seen as the time when a family can be said to truly have achieved success. I believe that even beyond its desire as a status symbol, it provides a considerable amount of gravitas to wherever one is living. There is a company that can create Rebuilt Steinway, ensuring that the cost that a family will be out is considerably smaller than if they had to…
Judi’s vocals are hard to get into, being simultaneously shrill and gruff, much like Apocalipstick’s lead, Jackie. If one can imagine it, “Rock This” is an ideological, harder sequel to the soundtrack to “Josie and the Pussycats”, which actually makes sense since the individual who was mainly responsible for “Josie’s” tracks was Kay Hanley (from Letters to Cleo). “I Hate You” moves into the territory of Bitch and Animal,…
Split Habit is an interesting band. While the first track on “Put Your Money”, “Rebel” is a perfect bowdlerized and mollified version of the original pop-punk mold of the Ramones, “City Girl” is a dangerous mix of frat-rock and an extensive Weezer CD collection. However anemic this track is, the sheer fact is that Split Habit is able to go and make the track one that every listener of…
NRG-X Labs has continually created supplements that are heads and shoulders above similar efforts by other companies. It is not surprising to see that their whey protein – Sublime Whey – is another strong addition to anyone’s supplementation. The Sublime Whey is dosed out in 33 gram scoops (two-thirds of that is protein), and only contains 122 calories (18 from fat). I believe that the presence of 2 grams…
Atlus is the first gaming company that has released a Sherlock Holmes-based titles that is good. Previous games (2010’s vs. Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened) were pretty sad; the sheer immersion factor that is present in The Testament of Sherlock Holmes will have players locked in to the game for tens of hours. I believe that the lushly-varied backdrops and sheer amount of clues (useful and…
Tyranny of Goblins is a great addition for players of Dungeon Command. This sub-$40 set contains a wide array of miniatures that can be used as graphical additions to any Dungeons & Dragons command or as a new force to go against Dungeon Command players. Wizards has added enough twists and turns to Tyranny of Goblins that overall strategies employed have to shift; by continuing to provide support for…

Pearl and the Beard’s energized performance and lush arrangements have been captivating audiences since forming in 2008. The band’s live…
