With this new promising solo-project, Swedish artist Fredrik Croona offers a mixture of old school EBM with a harsher industrial tone while infusing more personal emotions into the compositions and stripping away the heavily processed vocals. Most of you will know that Fredrik Croona is also known as founder…

It’s been a pretty hectic few years for 5-piece Brisbane indie-rockers Blonde On Blonde. With the release of their sophomore EP ‘Tease’ in February 2010 and a ball-park amount of support, they’ve set themselves up for a whirlwind year. So far – a road trip over to Las Angeles for MUSEXPO at the end of May and July saw 4 massive support slots alongside renowned Australian rockers, INXS. They now…
Typical Cats return, the last of the great true school crews—bearers of transformed tradition, innovators par excellence, and heralds of an undying devotion to the science and magic of boom bap music. The latest installment in the TC saga is 3, their third studio full-length. It plays like a message in a bottle from Hip Hop’s timeless present to the bizarre post-physical, digital, viral world in which we live. DJ…

Sonic Youth is one of the most influential acts to still be playing music at this point of their career. How can they keep providing a bright light of brilliance to those individuals that will be creating bands in the near future? “Rather Ripped” starts out sedate, with “Reena” using a deadpan delivery by Kim coupled alongside a post-punk set of guitars that at times threaten to go into…

Long Island, NY’s own John Hampson, best known as the writer and singer of the hit song ‘Absolutely (Story of a Girl)’ with his band ninedays back in 2000, has just penned and released a poignant new song entitled ‘My Fat Wallet’ on iTunes.

Somerset plays the brand of emo that has been popular for the last few years, throwing in slightly interesting sounds (such as strings during “Clockwork”) that try to bring up listener’s interest, which flags even at the onset. The fact is that there is nothing truly compelling about the music on “Pandora”, as Somerset tries their best to create a product that in no way will offend or otherwise…
There is a lot more in the way of palatable music on “Heaven’s Pregnant Teens”, to the point that Some Girls actually could get a track onto college alternative radio. This is not to say that the band has lost any of the fury of past albums; the band fits in thirteen tracks into a disc that ends before the twenty-fifth minute. Some Girls show another dimension to their…
This CD has the shortest songs this side of Short Music For Short People. 7 tracks take up the space of about 6 minutes.

This is a brand of noise that is electrified in much of the same vein as Ministry, but maintains their genre ties with bands like…
Talk about stopping on a dime. Maryland’s The Soma Solution can move from Weezer to Korn to so many other musical genres in the space of a song, and it is through incredible talent that The Soma Solution so cunningly accomplishes it. Crunchy guitars come t the forefront in tracks like “Abort”, a System of a Down-style crooned track that bubbles over continually with all the energy that Rob…
