Now, after a year of touring (with Gym Class Heroes, Fall Out Boy and Young Love, among others), Daniel Hunter is ready to unleash his first full-length opus, TEXAS. Says Hunter, a die-hard Cowboys fan: “I named it for the love of the state. I assumed somebody had named their album ‘Texas’ before, but no one had. I had to do it before someone else did!”
Jason Johnson – Pseudocide / 2007 Self / 4 Tracks / jasonj0678@yahoo.com / This disc starts out with “Leavingâ€, which is a tinny little track that has an earlier set of influences to it. I mean, it sounds as if Johnson is pulling from the pre-electric Dylan days more than anything, but this could just be because Johnson wasn’t able to grab an electric. In all seriousness, there is a…

I have absolutely no clue where I got this zine, but it is really informative for its small size. Apparently, this zine came from a website of about the same name (www.foulinc.com). Getting the short amount of book-keeping out of the way with the first page, it really gets hot and heavy into the issues that are of the utmost importance to anyone that calls themselves involved in politics. Specifically,…

The Photographic – Pictures of a Changing World / 2008 Galaxia / 11 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/thephotographic / Many bands nowadays just go and dramatically enter their CD with a punchy and bombastic track. The Photographic do not do that with their “Pictures of a Changing Worldâ€. Rather, during their “Inceptionâ€, they create a very atmospheric track that singlehandedly sets the tone for the rest of the album. Thus, it is…

Shawn Fogel – One Day In The Desert / 2007 The Sleepy West / 5 Tracks / http://www.shawnfogel.com / The first track on “One Day In The Desert†is “The Season I Love Bestâ€, a sunny track that rides strongly on the harmonica that opens up the song. Hell, if there was nothing else but the harmonica acting as the vocal component to the track, Fogel would have started off…

Filter Mini #13 / Free / :20 / 32S / http://www.filtermini.com / Another month, another issue of Filter Mini. I really wish NeuFutur would look like this. The zine is glossy, with a lot of information stuck throughout even though there is a considerable advertisement presence in this issue. After getting through the minefield of advertisements that start out this issue, individuals will be able to read some interesting piece,s…
This zine was another one in which I picked up from a record store in Columbus, and while this issue makes a little more sense than Stranger, it is by no means a coherent read. Mainly a lot of blurry images and sloppily drawn comics, this zine tries to construct a story, I’m guessing. I would even go as far to say that the editor of this magazine may actually…
