SHSTL is gearing up for a fall tour, and I’m looking for some sites who might like to host a review or interview with the boys! Ryan and Will make for great interviewing, and they’re charming as hell. Theyd be a great addition to any site that loves DIY extreme music. Ryan Fontana, the guitarist is a fucking marvel to behold, and he’s funnier than shit and will charm your…

There are a number of examples of films that use a non-acting celebrity that end up being some of the worst of all time (Kazaam, for example). However, Love’s Kitchen is a movie that looks to destroy this belief; the inclusion of Gordon Ramsay in the film seems to work well. This is likely because the title does not only revolve around Ramsay; Dougray Scott (Rob) and Claire Forlani (Kate)…

No other perfume on the market is able to say so…

Pucker has been a mainstay of a great many college parties over the course of the time that I’ve been floating around college campuses, and I have no doubt in my mind that this will continue. However, Pucker has released a set of vodkas that look to update the brand’s image in 2011. We received a bottle of the Pucker Sour Apple Vodka, which will go head to head with…
Jungle Rot is one of those bands that has been bubbling under the radar for the better part of two decades, and their hard work has been paid off with their 2011 signing to Victory Records.

U’luvka Vodka is one of the few that will immediately have people take notice – the unique shape of the bottle will be what first brings fans in. The kink on the neck of the bottle showcases how U’luvka differs…
There are a number of distinct supplements on the market that attempt to ensure the most fulfilling and refreshing sleep that an individual can have. At some point, they all succeed in providing a more efficacious alternative to the Benadryl-based pills. This is due to the fact that they do not saddle individuals with the same sort of long-lasting funk that is present with the Benadryl-based brands. There are four…
With the increasing interconnectedness of the world, it becomes easier to find musicians that are creating some impressive music no matter where they may reside.

Originally breaking on the scene with 2007’s “Think Africa”, “From Africa With Fury” represents eir first release on Knitting Factory Records. The previously mentioned interconnectedness increases when one hears the production on “From Africa…
