Tim Fite – Ain’t Ain’t Ain’t (CD)

Tim Fite is one of those few artists that do not take well to a genre convention. Sure, Fite can be categorized as a singer-songwriters, but there is a level of density and gravitas to the tracks on Ain’t Ain’t Ain’t that belies that tie. When given an indie rock mantle, tracks like My Brother Sings showcases a certain glibness that is unparalleled. Listeners are then provided with an…

Alyssa Graham – Lock, Stock & Soul (CD)

Alyssa Graham is an artist that is looking to break the world of the dominance of Adeles and Joss Stones; on Lock, Stock & Soul Graham shows that the true soul cannot be replicated for a mass audience. Rather, Graham’s point with Lock, Stock & Soul is to individually touch each person that listens in. This makes for an album that hits on all cylinders, from the opening strains of…

Frankie Rose premieres “Night Swim” music video, launches tour next week

We were all knocked out by the Frankie Rose and the Outs album from 2010, the effortlessness of its gorgeous girl-pop mantras, the intimate immensity of its Spector-esque walls of reverb, the beauty of a song sung sweetly over the most graceful two-chord vamps. But are you ready for the new Frankie Rose? – her transformation into a wholly other kind of pop, the reverie and revelation of Interstellar, an…

UNTLD The Exhibit Marc Ecko for men (Cologne)

UNTLD The Exhibit is the new cologne by Marc Ecko, and it shows a robustness that is unmatched in the cologne world. This is because it blends together fruit notes including apples and melons with a hint of musk, presenting an earthy and orange-based feel. There is a sense that UNTLD The Exhibit is looking to provide a varied approach, and does this perfectly. The bottle design will immediately…

DEMISOR: Singaporean Grind Brigade Sign To Pulverized Records

Singaporean grind pioneers DEMISOR have officially inked a worldwide deal with Pulverised Records! Formed in 1987, the unsung DEMISOR specialize in sonic devastation with their earliest bout of buzzsaw guitar lashes and maniacal blasts appearing on their Mestectomy and Oral Climax demos released in 1990 and 1992 respectively. Today the epic DEMISOR discography includes over a dozen split releases in true grind fashion. The band is currently penning new material…

THE BODY & BRAVEYOUNG: Collaborative Album To See Vinyl Release

Following an initial CD release in September 2011, amidst several regional tours together, Nothing Passes — the collaborative release between apocalyptic noise/doom duo THE BODY and orchestral rock harbingers BRAVEYOUNG — will now get the deluxe vinyl treatment. Recorded in a collaborative session at Providence’s Machines With Magnets (Battles, Daughters, Lightning Bolt, Chinese Stars), Nothing Passes is a layered but cohesive voyage through cavernous, noise-laden tumult and chaos, ethereal…

Dropkick Murphys – Going Out In Style: Live at Fenway (Deluxe Edition) (CD)

Despite the advances in recording technology, it seems that most live recordings do not capture the full spirit of the band. Going Out In Style should act as a blueprint for anyone that looks to make a good live album, as the band is able to showcase their inimitable style over the course of two discs. The band, even in the later segments of the concert, is still able…

Cricket 5250 Ceramic Heat Dryer

The range of qualities that are available in the hair dryer section of a store is substantial. It pays to do some serious research into what each product does. The Cricket 5250 is a stellar buy, as it is leaps and bounds above similar products both in terms of quality and functionality. This ceramic heat dryer is light (13.7 ounces) and has three different heat options. The cold shot function…

CoQ10 200MG Review (Swanson Health Products)

I personally abhor brick and mortar health stores. They provide a small selection with a substantial markup, and those that frequent these types of stores are (frankly) being ripped off. Swanson Vitamins has an online store and provides their massive product line to purchasers with countless deals. CoQ10 (also known as ubiquinone) is a hot supplement, recently being featured on Dr. Oz. It makes sense that individuals wish to see…

Alexia Foods – Parmesan Lemon, Whole Grain, and Spicy Sweet Potatos

I have been a fan of Alexia Foods for a long time. We typically picked up a bag or two of their Oven Reds or Oven Fries every time that we went to the store, but we were able to receive a number of their newer offerings for review. I believe the biggest inroads that they have made come in their Spicy Sweet Potatoes, which are able to link together…

T.J. Doyle – “Everything” Music Video

Few videos seem to fit the artist that has commissioned them. This is because one artist (the performer) is outsourcing their vision to another artist (the videographer). What results in a typical video then is a disjointed mess, containing imagery that is not borne out by the music, along with musical intensity that is not highlighted by the images present. T.J. Doyle has just released a video for his “Everything,”…

Vacationer – Gone (CD)

There is considerable expansion on Gone of the indie rock genre. I feel that Everyone Knows acts as the blueprint for everything that is to follow. This track immediately captures listeners and keeps their attention, so that the band can build off of the different styles, influences, and approaches that were initially presented with this introductory track. Good as New is the disc’s second cut, and provides listeners with a…
