Skeletons and the Girl-Faced Boys – Git (CD)

  “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…

Sorcery (Playstation 3)

  Sorcery is a title that looks to include the fantasy elements of RPGs with different action elements. What results in Sorcery is a title that takes the Playstation Move controller to its logical end, while providing players with an immersive environment and a rich story. 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/Painted Thin – “Different Places to Sit”

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. Throughout it all, the strong guitars are the key reminders that this band is indeed the same as the…

Sixfinger – East Side All-Stars Play Hard (CD)

  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…

This usually creates an inoffensive brew that is forgettable soon after one finishes it up. This is not what Berry Horny does. Rather, the beer is able to…
