“Git” starts out with a bevy of different sounds set out to assault one’s senses. “See The Way” mixes traditional (bongos) with futuristic (synthesizers) to make a dance track for the new millennium. This fusion does not split a listener’s interest, rather it draws eir in like a light to a moth. The name of the band really makes sense with some of the music that finds its way…

“Gone” is the first track on “Palomino”, and it provides listeners with a brand of pop-infused rock music that is similar to the music created by Sarah McLachlan or a harder version of Kendall Payne. Instead of just trying to focus on one specific genre of music, Skaugen’s allure comes in the fact that ey goes through a number of different genres in the creation of “Palomino”. The music…

I believe that the control scheme for Sorcery will even allow experienced players to be challenged by the title. To cast spells or do…

Sixty Stories – This is a female led indie rock outfit that really tends to be on the exciting part of the spectra, continually changing their sound, from being a dreamy indie outfit to something that would seemingly be more at home in the pages of Metal Edge than Punk Planet.

Sixfinger is a band that is into the current revival of emo-rock that bands like Brand New, All-American Rejects, The Good Life, and a number of other bands (many from New Jersey) have been pushing. First off, this album suffers from a compressed recording, which really makes the album feel as if I am listening to it off a tape. Still, there is enough emotion on this album to…
