There are a number of products that are on the market that look to sate hunger, and a great many of these are ultimately forgettable. However, SeaSnax is a product that tastes amazing and is great for you. Do not let me mince words – SeaSnax are just seaweed with a little bit of spice to them. However, the flavor profile of SeaSnax are so large that one will easily…
There are so many whey proteins that are on the market. The quality of these different whey proteins differs considerably, but I think that we at NeuFutur have found one of the best on the market. This is Optimum Nutrition’s latest foray into the protein market, the Platinum Hydro Builder (available in Chocolate Shake and Vanilla Bean flavors). The presence of enzymes that aid in digestion along with Creapure creatine…
It is not surprising that that the gamer collective was a little bit scared about the new Back to the Future game. The last time a gamemaker tried to make a console title based on these classic films was the LJN title for the NES, and it was bad beyond words. However, the much more talented Telltale Games has crafted a gaming experience for the Wii, Xbox 360 and Playstation…
Mushroomhead is one of the biggest active bands to come from Cleveland. While they have formed their style over the course of numerous albums, Jeffrey Nothing (the band’s vocalist) has boldly went out on eir own with The New Psychodalia. There is a confidence that is weaved through the album’s 13 cuts that pushes the album past Mushroomhead territory. This is an evolutionary step forward for Nothing, and the album’s…
Tankcrimes are pleased to announce that OBSESSOR have released another EP’s worth of dirty, d-beaten, Venom’n’Celtic Frost-worshipping old-school metalpunk madness, entitled Sick Salvation. As with the one-man wrecking machine’s debut Tankcrimes release (Obsession), Sick Salvation is available for FREE! The EP is also available as a limited cassette single, for those who like to get a little physical. OBSESSOR is a one-man project based in Richmond, VA that draws heavy…
On Tuesday, Audra Mae released her latest EP, debuting her new band The Almighty Sound! You can pick it up on iTunes for $4.95! Since the release of Audra Mae’s acclaimed debut album, The Happiest Lamb, on SideOneDummy Records in May of 2010, the Oklahoma-born singer/songwriter has undergone an exciting transformation. The most obvious change is the presence of her brand new band, aptly named The Almighty Sound. The Almighty…
Brooks has very nearly perfected the running shoe with their PureCadence. Despite being as light as all get out, the PureCadence has a substance to it that will ensure that one can be comfortable no matter which terrain they are on. The design of the side of the shoe allows for great amounts of airflow, which will ensure that feet do not get sweaty. I found that the smallest steps…
Last year, BMI and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame awarded Laura Warshauer with the prestigious “Holly Prize,” an award named after Buddy Holly and presented to only one singer-songwriter per year. This year, after a string of high-profile shows (including a headlining set at the Official MPressFest CMJ Showcase, tour dates with Bob Schneider, Frankie Moreno, and Scars on 45, and an appearance at WXPN World Café), two national television…
There is a blending of two distinct film styles with Loups = Garous, a film adaptation of a novel by Natsuhiko Kyogoku. On the one hand, there is a certain dark aspect that pervades all sections of the movie, but there also seems to be a more time-tested children’s adventure present here. What makes Loups = Garous so good is how the story, art design, and voice work marries these…
Pulverised Records is pleased to announce the addition of UK-based deathcrust extremos, WINDS OF GENOCIDE! Spawned in 2006, WINDS OF GENOCIDE is poised to inflict apokalyptic domination with their offensive d-beat onslaught. A bastardized fusion of Cianide, Amebix, Unleashed and Bolt Thrower, WINDS OF GENOCIDE are working on their as-yet-titled debut full-length album, which should see the light of day in Armageddon 2012. Commented WINDS OF GENOCIDE lung-torturess Kat Shevil…
Pentimento will be holed up at GCR Studios in Buffalo, NY for three days starting this Saturday, as they begin recording songs with engineer Jay Zubricky (Kid Gorgeous, Every Time I Die) for an upcoming split EP with Young English which will be released by Panic Records in early 2012. Among the four songs the band will be contributing is a cover of Dashboard Confessional’s “The Places You Have Come…
The momentum of the initial composition on Frozen In Motion will immediately bring listeners in to Kodomo’s psyche. A chattering, busy sort of sound works alongside atmospheric compositions, moving to a slower and more deliberate feel after the break. While this initial track taps out at well below the three minute mark, I feel that the song acts as a microcosm of the different sounds, styles, and approaches that will…
Brooklyn sludge rock sensations HULL recently returned from a pillaging month-long tour crumbling stages throughout the U.S. with their sonic wall of triple-guitar led, conceptual enormity. Bassist Seanbryant Dunn recently posted an extensive tour wrap-up. An excerpt reads: “First and foremost, The Fucking Wrath are amazing dudes! Wise are they in entering and sustaining the ‘Nite Zoo’ mentality. Ripping through the states with these boys was truly an honor and…
Fair Trade Services recording artist Laura Story has had an immensely successful year, garnering five Dove nominations, a No. 1 hit song and a best-selling sophomore album Blessings. The accolades continue as earlier this week, she received her first ever GRAMMY ® nomination for “Best Contemporary Christian Music Song” for the title-track off her critically acclaimed release Blessings. The winners of all 78 categories will be announced during the 54th…
As an aside, it was quite interesting to see Twinlab products in a Meijer; our local one does not carry them, but the ones up in Michigan are stocked to the gills with them. This is no surprise, as Twinlab was and continues to be one of the best supplement companies both in terms of quality and price. Part of the dominance comes in the reformulation of a number of…
I feel that Making The Boys is a film that must be seen by anyone that is at least tangentially interested in GLBT history and culture. Do not get me wrong, this film is an amazing capsule into theatre history, but there is much more of a focus on the GLBT side of things. This documentary looks into the creation of The Boys in the Band, and provides individuals either…
CHTHONIC recently released their latest music video for “Quell The Souls In Sing Ling Temple.” The song comes off the band’s sixth full-length, Takasago Army, released earlier this fall via Spinefarm Records. The video was shot in Taiwan at a the band’s special outdoor concert at Sing-Ling Temple in October where more than a thousand people from around the country gathered. Sing-Ling Temple is a historical landmark located on an ancient battlefield…
When a company has a tremendous market share, it becomes hard to truly innovate. I feel that Gaspari has dealt with some of these problems, but will have the bulk of the bodybuilding world lining up to try this new product. Where the proteins currently on the market typically look toward building muscle mass, I feel that the Gaspari Myofusion Probiotic is something that attempts to increase the overall health…
Atlas Sound, the ever-expansive solo project from Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, is pleased to announce several US tour dates. Atlas Sound’s third album, Parallax, is out now via 4AD and was described by MOJO as “profoundly beautiful.” ATLAS SOUND TOUR DATES Dec 14 DURHAM, NC – Motorco Dec 15 RICHMOND, VA – The National Dec 16 PHILADELPHIA, PA – First Unitarian Church Sanctuary Dec 17 BROOKLYN, NY – Bell House Dec…
The Felice Brothers will wind down a very busy 2011 in style with two New Year’s shows in the northeast, performing on December 30th at Daniel Street in Milford, CT and on December 31st for a hometown show at Club Helsinki in Hudson, NY. The band, who are currently overseas at the start of a 17-date European tour, wrapped up their eight and a half week long national US tour…
