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 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…
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…

Pre-workouts are one of the most essential types of supplements that one can use. However, what goes into a pre workout varies greatly based on the company releasing the product, so a large amount of care needs to be taken before buying one. The latest pre-workout that we have received is Prolab’s Quick Fire, and we are happy to say that it provided us with the energy and sustained power…
Shook Ones really come out of left field for bands that are on Revelation; this snotty style of straight-forward punk rock is done with the utmost care, with more than a little hint of Rancid to be found during the 7-inch’s opening track “Slaughter of the Insole”. There is also a more than healthy helping of Fat Mike’s vocals that make it onto the track, which makes for a track…
Shedaisy plays a brand of country meets pop music that individuals would be confused to hear coming out of CMT or the like. Songs like “23 Days” could conceivably be on the adult contemporary radio stations, or it could conceivably be on the Christian station; there is nothing that really marks the track as a country song. Still, this does not change the fact that Shedaisy comes up with a…
The slow tempo that starts off “Palo Santo” mixes together Rufus Wainwright, Ben Folds, and John Maher to create something that works well with either the pop set or the individuals that are into challenging music. The simple drumming that begins “Red Sea, Black Sea” is coupled with an electronic sound to approach the album in a fundamentally different way than “La Dame et la Licorne” began the disc. This…

Just as Diamond Rugs finished recording “Christmas In A Chinese Restaurant” and was still in the studio listening back to the track, John McCauley got in front of the camera to create this fun clip to the song. Filmed and edited by Justin Collins, who co-produced the record, the video’s charm and honesty is bound to bring a smile to your face. “From what I remember, that was a song…
As we enter the upcoming election year, political dysfunction and polarization have brought American politics to historical lows.

The work of prolific film director-producer Brian Malone, the film received rave reviews last month during its world premier at the 34th Starz Denver Film Festival. Now, before this timely…
