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.

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.

Shot in New York City by Rick Rogers (Prelude To Ruins) in a highly cinematic style, lead singer Ian Astbury says the new clip reveals a “desperate descent into a fractured psyche,” and the “Honey From A Knife” song title was inspired by the Buddhist precept: “Wealth and beauty, to a man who will not relinquish them, are like a knife covered with honey which, even before he has…

Who are you and how long have you been active? Ellen M. Wilson. I’ve been performing professionally for more than 30 years…it all started with a rock band in high school while I was also studying classical music. What trends will be big in the next year? I wouldn’t bank on my opinion, but increased diversity that will be harder to categorize, and more independent artists moving to the forefront,…
