sisterpete-Demo CD-Extreme Records-A very professional sounding band, most likely coming from the 7+ years experience and bring a very interesting sound to the table, and as a comparison I can offer up Silverchair and Bus. sisterpete is a very socially conscious band that devotes time from their busy tour schedule to do shows with Make A wish foundation and Musicians Against Substance Abuse. They are not afriad to include their…

Wait, is it 2006 or is it 1986? Well, with “Everything”, Since Remembered sounds like a band that would have much more in common with acts off of Dischord Records as of twenty years ago. But is this a bad thing? Hell no, as the fury captured by Since Remembered on “Coming Alive” is so much that the production buckles at the gargantuan duty of picking up all the…

The interesting thing about the opening of “Pictures From The Hotel Apocalypse” is perhaps the sheer amount of psychedelic rock that Since By Man inserts into their opening “Emergency And Me”. The disjointed sound cultivated by the aforementioned track and elaborated upon in “Lactating Teens”. “Young America” has a sound that can be heard in a thousand different hardcore bands throughout the United States; the only thing that really…

You may take hgh supplements to combat this change but in case you are not in favor of this method of treatment, there’s still a lot you can do. If you’re one of the people who wouldn’t easily surrender…
The introduction to Where Da Cash At is excellent, the instrumentation setting the stage for a gritty street track. The flow that follows forth soon after has hints of Trina, Nicki Minaj, and Princess (Crime Rob). Where Da Cash At is an always-on track, with a high amount of energy and the momentum to blast through to the end. Where the vast majority of female rappers seem to blend into…
Mister Lies is the project of Chicago’s Nick Zanca. Mister Lies will release its debut LP this Fall on Lefse Records — in the meantime Zanca has released a collaborative EP with Different Sleep for the Absent Fever label which is available today as a free download here. Mister Lies is also set to make its live debut next month in LA. From the Rising feature that ran on…
Incredibly intense jazz sessions from this band, somewhat surprising to me because most of the looking-back jazz that I’ve heard has been unnecessarily unoriginal. The piano lines that Chris begins “Big Foot” with rival anything speed-wise that such great pianists as Earl Hines could do. The bass lines put down by Simon Fisk during the opening compromise an metaphorical and literal bridge that really bring all three instruments into something…
2012 has been an incredible year for Chet Faker. In March he played stand-out performances at SXSW, including a performance at the Filter Magazine Party and was touted as a ‘must see’ act by The Austin Chronicle. All of this momentum led to a record deal with Downtown Records who are set to drop the Thinking in textures EP May 22nd with a vinyl release on June 19th. Chet Faker’s full length…

Keep your eyes peeled—the new video is coming very soon! Singer Levi Benton exclaims, “We’re so excited to be dropping this video next week and we thought we’d give you…
Ray Tarantino is an exciting musician that we stumbled upon a few weeks back. He has just released a new self-titled album. This 2012 release covers a wide array of different musical styles, genres, and overall approaches to music. It is this eclectic nature that makes this title a must-have. The evolution that has taken place since Tarantino’s debut, Recusant. Recusant benefitted from the masterful production of Simply Red’s Tony…
Sittin’ In My Room is a track that has so much soul to it that listeners will immediately be singing along. The track has it all, whether it is a solid production, a hot flow, or an instrumentation that properly highlights all points of T.O.N.E-z’s output. Where the lyrical content of a great many rap songs are lost in the mix of red-lined synths and guitars, I feel that…
The energy that resides barely beneath the surface on the Silversun Pickups’ “Kissing Families” is something to behold. Lead vocalist Nikki finds the skill to show that ey has the desire to completely snap and lash out against the world, but tempers it to a T and really makes everything fit underneath the Breeders-meets-System Of A Down like sound that “Pikul” has. This is unrepentant, angry indie-rock that breaks…
To mark the release of their debut album, out today, 2:54 unveil the video for their forthcoming single ‘Creeping’, with the 7in released on June 18th via Fiction. The video, directed by talented Scandinavian duo Frode & Marcus, ‘Creeping’s malevolent melodies are perfectly complimented by the eerie waterscape and desolate countryside of this stunning music video. The single was realized in union by the one and only Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, Nine Inch Nails, Jesus &…
The hopeful opening of “Carnavas” puts listeners into a good mood. The fact that Silversun Pickups play such an interesting brand of indie rock should keep listeners in that mood. The fuzz present on the guitars is unnatural, but Silversun Pickups can couch it in a compelling way. During tracks when this type of distortion is present, such as “Melatonin”, the guitars (and distortion) are the key emotional force…
The sad thing about this recording in that in no way captures the intensity or impressive nature of the band, especially after one has seen them live three or four time. However, this is a strong step in a direction where a great many of these nascent local scenes need to go in cataloging their music, even if it is only on a CDR (as Nothing Special is). The…
