It’s far from uncommon for an artist to pay homage to their hometown, and Dustin Prestige does just that with his new single “Mo. City Rock.” The song, produced by Chris Rockaway, is from his latest project The Kelly & Jessie EP and he portrays the end result of a kid (himself) who grew up on “both sides of the fence” in Houston, Texas and the influence that it has…
Singer/songwriter Ariana Delawari just debuted her liberating new video for “Be Gone Taliban” on IFC.com this week Directed by Delawari herself, the video served to be both a fantasy and allegory for the plight of women under the radical Islamist group’s oppressive belief system. “When we recorded this song I imagined it as a modern ballet.,” Delawari said, “I wanted the video to celebrate everything the Taliban has attempted to…
Peace is an interesting concept. Despite being a nation that prides itself on peace, the United States has gotten in to a tremendous amount of war. The idea of peace is something that is poorly defined; this is why the Perpetual Peace Project has gotten together to create this DVD. By trying to tease out what peace means, both in terms to individuals as well as in a philosophical sense,…
Los Angeles resident Emperor X is cloistered in an Eastside warehouse finishing an album of pop weirdness that Bar/None Records plans to release later this year. To commemorate this weekend’s Carmageddon freeway closure, the label sent out a preview in the form of “Sig Alert”, a love song from a war-torn alternate universe in which California’s infrastructure has fallen victim to insurgent bombing campaigns, radioactive dust clouds, and hordes of…
“Field Songs” is the fifth album by William Elliott Whitmore, and it provides listeners with some of the most touching and compelling music of Whitmore’s career. The tracks on Field Songs unite into one cohesive entity – while the different tracks on the album can be enjoyed alone, I feel that there are is a considerable amount of intertrack interplay that one has to listen to to properly get what…

ER: The Complete 15th Season captured the final episodes of the venerable show, which all originally aired in 2008 and 2009. These twenty-two episodes tie together a number of the loose ends that had been presented viewers over the course of the show, while still having time to create cutting-edge medical drama. Where the 14th season had seemed to sputter due to the writer’s strike, the 15th season immediately hits…
Portland, Oregon-based indie-pop/electronic-folk outfit Priory, comprised of Brandon Johnson (vocals, bass), Kyle Dieker (acoustic guitar, keys, bells, falsetto), Joe Mingus (drums), and Greg Harpel (lead guitar, bells, keys), have returned home from their first (of many) U.S. tours promoting their debut, self-titled ful-length. Continuing to promote their album, which is hot off the presses, they have released a video for the album’s first single, “Lady of Late.” The video can…
“A Feminist Manifesto” begins with “Ballerina”, a spicy track that soars on the back of some sizzling horns. O’Neill’s vocals during “Ballerina” benefit from challenging time signatures and a style that touches upon pop, rock, and even country and blues in their execution. What is one of the most exciting sides of “A Feminist Manifesto” has to be the inclusion of stellar musicians to lay down the instrumental backdrop for…
March Into Paris make the beginning of their “Beautiful Chaos” into an instrument-heavy affair that benefits through the inclusion of a strong female set of vocals. There is not an easy way to compare the band to existing music; there is a fury present to the previously-mentioned vocals that is only matched by the splashing drums and sick guitar lines. “Inside My Heart” may have a little more atmospheric and…
“In LA” is the first track on “Smoke N Mirrors”, and what the band lays down will immediately catch the attention of anyone in the vicinity. The band takes nods from The Donnas, The Runaways, and The Distillers, and puts a little bit more rock into the equation that fuels “Smoke N Mirrors”. The titular track on “Smoke N Mirrors” looks further back into the annals of music to pull…
7 Months Later begins their “Time to Decide” with some tremendously interesting emotive rock that gradually gains speed until the band can go all out. The swirling eddies of guitars and drums that come forth will immediately impress listeners, even as they work together with the aforementioned vocals to push the track further. “Disengage” continues the same threads initially inserted in “Time to Decide”, but the band keeps things fresh…
There are just so many different energy supplements that are currently on the market that it becomes difficult to figure out how they differ, both in terms of composition and quality. While the caffeine side of things feels pretty standard, there are literally hundreds of different compounds that can increase the amount of energy that an individual has. Up Your Gas may just have the most comprehensive amount of these…
Since we have started the beer reviews section at NeuFutur. I feel that our love for the stuff has drastically decreased. This is likely due to the fact that a great number of breweries create efforts that are not too terribly offensive. However, we have received a beer in the 21st Amendment Brewing’s Monk’s Blood that really recreates our love for the stuff. This beer comes out of the can…
Anyone that knows me knows that I have absolutely no sense of direction. I believe that I can continue having no sense of direction just as long as I have the Bushnell BackTrack D-Tour. This personal GPS is cheaply priced (around $100-125) and provides buyers with a way out of any geographical trouble that they may be in. There are other low cost handheld gps available in the market today that…
Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion is perhaps the best body lotion that we have used, and there are a good many reasons for why that is. The fragrance is what will immediately lure individuals in. The Pharmacopia Aromatherapy Body Lotion line contains two efforts – Citrus and Lavender – that are mild while still having an assertive fragrance. The ability of these body lotions to spread is without fault – a…
We were lucky enough to receive this bottle of G.H. Mumm De Cramant before the Fourth of July. We chilled the bottle and served it to a number of the NeuFutur reviewing crew, and were able to pull a number of different notes and sides to this champagne. The G.H. Mumm De Cramant was first bottled in 1960, and benefits through the presence of Chardonnay grapes in a Blanc de…
Music can do a great many things. While many individuals just listen to music to lift (or support) their moods, Bruce Lipton wants to do much more with eir compositions. Specifically, ey wants to modify how an individual thinks and who an individual actually is – the shift in consciousness that is described in the disc’s title is brought through 9 distinct compositions. The album starts out with “Wisdom Calls…
There are a number of distinct sides to MediTropin that will benefit anyone that takes the product. The product boosts the endocrine system, provides additional amounts of muscle protein, pushes through neurotransmitter activity, and gives a further kick to the immune and cardiovascular system. Each box of MediTropin comes with 60 effervescent sachets, which turn glasses of water into pretty tasty orange drink. It is always hard to believe that…
I personally like the fact that games are currently being shipped for the Xbox 360 can use the Kinect sensor, but do not require them. Child of Eden, a new title by Ubisoft, will be enjoyed better if one has a Kinect sensor but will allow those without the Kinect to play. Child of Eden is a shooter title that links together the gameplay with music and visuals, to make…
