Shortie – Worthless Smiles (CD)

While Shortie’s information constantly throws the fact at potential reviewers that Shortie has played with umpteen popular rock bands, the same people who claim that are also claiming that Shortie is striving for their own sound. Shortie does not really have their own sound, per se but do mesh together some of the more quality aspects of a number of bands that have invaded mainstream rock radio in the last…

A Shoreline Dream – Avoiding The Consequences (CD)

A Shoreline Dream is just that; the opening few minutes of their “Avoiding The Consequences” builds up slowly, with the band creating a very dreamy and tenuous musical approach that finally get into something more substantive about three minutes into the disc. The guitar and drum dynamic of a track like “Laying This One Down Now” is similar to that of “Disintegration”-era The Cure; the band does not need much…

Shortstack – S/T (CD) Reviewed

Starting out with a honky-tonk meets the Talking Heads-type of sound, Shortstack push alt-country to the side for a more old-school style of popular country. The wide-open guitars of “Jealous Man” break out of the compressed mastering that the disc finds itself. The first exciting happening in the CD occurs during the walking bass line of the second track, “Plenty Time For Sleepin’”. Comparable to the highest plateaus of Uncle…

Shock Nagasaki – Year Of The Spy (CD)

Shock Nagasaki play a very classic brand of punk rock that will have individuals singing along even when they have only heard the disc once or twice. “1968” starts the disc out, and the band only plays for about seventy seconds on the song before moving into the equally catchy and longer “I Get High on Low Society”. The style of music that Shock Nagasaki play is similar to that…

Shinky – Forgive, Forget, Repeat (CD)

The line between new and traditional brands of emo is usually distinct enough to allow for rapid consolidation of bands into one style or another. This is not the case with Shinky, who really comes through with a brand of music that simultaneously recalls a list of bands as diverse as they comes, from Jane’s Addiction to Appleseed Cast and even towards newer acts like The Black Maria. The only…

Ari Shine – Age / Occupation (CD)

When I first put on the Ari Shine disc, I was expecting something more folksy, a type of music that would be played at any coffee shop or frat house across America. However, when “Crank It Out!” starts, I was transported back to the pop-rock of the mid-sixties, before Ari spices it up ever so slightly to give listeners in 2006 a reason to listen in. The track revels in…

Del Cielo – Wish and Wait (CD)

I had heard snippets of this band for a decent period before actually laying my hands on the record itself. While everything that I’ve read about the band tags them as pop-punk wunderkinds, I would have to disagree. The music which Del Cielo puts out goes so far beyond the limitations of a loaded term like pop-punk into a term that is almost as derogatory : alternative. If they put…

American Nudist (DVD)

American Nudist is one of the few films that we have viewed that have provided information about the naturalist subculture in a fair and balanced way. By ensuring that there is more to the story than simple nudism, American Nudist is able to properly keep viewers focused in for the entirety of the flick. The film perfectly blends the mundane and the absurd, moving from a somewhat humdrum existence for…

The Shimmers – The Way You Shine (CD)

There is a very organic sound to The Shimmers’ opening to “The Way You Shine”. This has much more in common with the folk music of the late sixties and early seventies than anything in the current period. If anything, the only act in the last few years that The Shimmers can compare themselves to in the last few years would have to be Davison/Coleman. The presence of two vocalists…
