We have not had the opportunity to review any proteins in a few weeks, but we received a packet from Food Science of Vermont for their Whey Superior Charge. The vanilla flavoring of the Whey Superior Charge actually has more in common with ice cream rather than being a code-word for a “plain”-flavored product. This allows individuals to more easily get through their protein shakes and allow their bodies to…
There is a laid-back, funky type of interpretation of the blues on “Another Fatal Blow”. Robustelli comes out blending Lenny Kravitz with Jameroquoi, with a track like “Poppa Don’t Think” adding just enough in the way of electronic influence to keep things interesting. The style of “Poppa Don’t Think” is very radio-friendly, and could easily make Robustelli big on the alternative rock stations throughout the United States. However, instead of…

Christopher Titus is the perfect example of a comedian that has brief brushes with fame but nothing that has been sustained. Titus, eir television show, ran for 3 seasons at the beginning of the millennium. Eir other comedy albums, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding and Love is Evol, have been tremendously emotional and killer pieces of comedy.
This disc has been sitting around my room for what feels like an eternity, and I finally sat down to listen to it not knowing what Robots and Empire had in store for me. The opening of “Stampede” is something that works well with the band’s title. The hard guitar and drum beat that opens up the track speaks to the empire side of things; the overwhelming force of the…
J. Irvin Dally will also be touring in support of Sun Room / Teething after a spring spent knuckled down in Los Angeles converting fans in his newly adopted homeland with performances presented by Buzzbands LA, Rollo & Grady, Friend With Both Arms, and the Los Angeles Times’ Brand X. Seeing Jordan live is a religious experience, no hyperbole. Garrett Pierce (http://narnackrecords.com/garrettpierce/) will be with J. Irvin Dally along this…
Superhumanoids makes dreamy pop that shouts summery ’60s harmonies, garage rock’s raw tonality, slick new-wave electronics, and the adventurous dissonance of ’90s indie rock. originally a solo bedroom project, the la band quickly evolved into a multifaceted foursome equally focused on propulsive live performances and glimmery productions for private listening. Superhumanoids’ 2008 demos were passed around by pals to friends of pals, leading to remix work for an array of…

We here at NeuFutur have provided coverage for a number of workout supplements that benefit those that take their regimens seriously. For those that run around occasionally, do yoga, or take a more low-impact approach to their fitness, some of the supplements that we have covered simply do not have much effect. Understanding this, there are a number of supplements that will benefit all equally. Twinlab has a great vitamin…
The Robot Ate Me starts off “Carousel Waltz” in a way that channels either Paul Simon or The Polyphonic Spree. This means that The Robot Ate Me creates a music that plays on the styles of the sixties while still being bleeding edge, with the inclusion of influences as wide as Death Cab For Cutie and Fischerspooner. The disc may be a year old but the music contained inside has…

Every time that we get a different Nintendo 3DS game for review, it seems as if the developing company has figured out some new side to the console. What results then is an eye-popping title that sticks around long after we would normally have finished the review. This is exactly what happens with Cubic Ninja, one of Ubisoft’s newest titles. Cubic Ninja is a puzzle title, and is one that…
Looking at the front of this album I had no clue what to expect from Sam Roberts. Well, I should say; I had an idea what type of music that Roberts would play but it was held back by perceptible disbelief; could someone in 2006 come out with music that recalled the rock of the sixties and seventies? It only takes a few minutes, but Sam Roberts does just that…

The blend of different elements to Absolut SF, the latest limited-time offering from Absolut, makes for a truly innovative and new sort of vodka. This 80-proof spirit ensures that a few shots should be enough, even if the flavor profile is not something that individuals would want to stop drinking lightly. This is due to the fact that Absolut has tied together grape, papaya, and dragonfruit to make for a…
The bouncy bass first heard during “The Fatalist” works well alongside a very angular approach by the Robbers on High Street. What results is a style of music that relies heavily on a eighties sound even as the band wedges themselves into the retro style of rock that is played by acts like The Killers and The Charlatans UK. The vocals are catchy during a song like “The Fatalist”, but…

Silverstein has been around for a number of years, but is not a band that has ever been content on sitting on their laurels. Rather, the band’s latest effort is perfect testament to the fact that they continually wish to modify, update, and otherwise evolve their sound. From the opening strains of the album’s first track “Medication”, the band’s nuanced arrangements and bold guitar and drum swaths show this. “Good…
