Pages – Mainstream Nightmare (ft. Juliet)

Pages unleashes a blatant challenge to all pseudo-rappers and Hip-Hop posers with the release of his latest single, “Mainstream Nightmare.” The song features strong yet soothing vocals by Juliet, contrasting the edginess of Pages’ lyrics and backed by the glitch-heavy drums and eerie, distorted sounds of Nick Fury (of Liquid Shields), whose resume includes production with the likes of Anthony B., Ras Kass, Skam2?, Omniscient, and countless others. Pages has…

Erin Sax Seymour – Good Girl (CD)

“Peace Tonight” blends a country sound with the pop of the sixties. After the opening chaos, what results is something that is much more Dolly Parton and Stevie Nicks than anything. The production is a little on the bare side, but Erin Sax Seymour creates a very catchy song off of the bat. The guitar lines present on the track are nothing special, but what they allow Seymour to do…

The Sex Rays – S/T (CD)

Individuals might not know that this band used to be Apocalipstick. Since the EP, the band has become a little more fleshed out, and while there are still some issues with the production of this album, there are present the same brand of catchy punk tunes that were so prevalent in the previous disc. There are pieces of “Cowboy” that really seem to look more toward the rockabilly (Tiger Army…

Severe Torture – Fall Of The Despised (CD)

Severe Torture do the equivalent of a Chinese version of their same name with the opening track to “Fall of the Despised” in “Endless Strain of Cadavers”. This means that the same arrangements are tapped, especially in terms of the drums, really bringing in individuals due to the fact that listeners can find some common ground by the fourth or fifth iteration. The band really brings in a few disparate…

The Amends believe in rock n roll, kittens, UFOs, and you

My name is Kevin Yordy, manager for The Amends, a Colorado-based indie rock-n-roll band. I believe Tyler, one of the band members contacted you before, but I thought I should start earning my keep. The Amends recently independently released their first full-length album, and would be honored if you gave it a listen and hopefully review it on in NeuFutur. I initially approached The Amends about becoming their manager after…

The Seventh Season – Fall Within (CD)

Bands aren’t usually around for thirty years, and even fewer of them are able to keep a style reminiscent of that era for so long after their formation. The Seventh Season do so, while keeping together enough relevancy to maintain a decent album. Using a voice modifier that many would assume to be on a Britney Spears or Cher track, Yuri makes a solid rock track that can be as…

The Rockdoves – From The Birds (CD)

There are a number of different artists that attempt to make music for children. Many of these artists create efforts that can only be enjoyed by the younger set. However, I believe that the music that is on From The Birds can speak to all ages. This is due to intelligent musicianship and care taken throughout the disc to continually make interesting and intelligent efforts. From The Birds begins with…

Seven 13 – Devour (CD)

For a band that has been around for around seven years and are so well traveled, I really expected more from “Devour” that what is actually on the CD. The guitars on the disc sound tinny, and the sequencing of the instrumental and vocal parts isn’t spotless. “Abuse Me” has some interesting strides in the amount of body and general sound that Seven 13 has taken from earlier rock tracks,…

Seventh Cross – Scorched By The Flames of Vengeance (CD)

The screaming that The Seventh Cross does on their “Scorched By The Flames of Vengeance” seems to show that the band is much more influenced by emo ands and music than they’d like to admit. Of course, at some point the style of music that The Seventh Cross plays is metal. There are hints of eighties metal present throughout “Scorched”, but much of what the band places down is without…

7 Seconds – Take It Back, Take It On, Take It Over! (CD)

I had heard about how good of a band 7 Seconds was about eight or nine years ago, and I decided to pick up one of their albums from the local CD store. That album, “Soulforce Revolution”, was one of the worst albums I’ve ever heard. However, I decided to give 7 Seconds a second chance, and let me say, I’m happy I threw this disc in my player. A…
