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…

There are few spirits that are currently on the market that are able to maintain a fairly standard proof content while containing a fruit base. Malibu Black, Pernod Ricard’s new 70-proof rum, is a perfect example of how a company can do this well. Malibu Black is a marriage of rum and coconut, all while having the warm burn that the spirit is known for. Where a great many rums…

Blackmore’s Night is the union between Ritchie and Candice Night, and begins with a cover of the One More Time hit, “Highland”. The track is retooled considerably, and represents one of three…
When I first put this disc into the player, I had no clue what RJ & The Imperatives would sound like. However, by the time that “Find Yourself Falling” finish, one can hear hints of mid-seventies Bowie, Dire Straits, and even a little bit of Chicago. There is a classic sound to the track, but I can see the band playing in a fair or festival somewhere with an increasing…

As prestige consistently builds for this Kendal four-piece — UK top…
We’ve said it already – Cars 2 is destined to be one of the biggest childrens’ movies ever. It makes sense that there are a few products being released now that try to cash in on the film’s goodwill. The Cars 2 video game – available for all current formats – is one of these things. However, the gameplay present in this game is solid enough that the game would…
The amount of guest stars that Carmen Rizzo has on this album is impressive; on this album Esthero, Jem, and Grant Lee Phillips all find their way onto the disc. The dreamy vocals of Esthero during “Too Rude” allows the arrangements of Rizzo to really reach their potential, as there is a Bjork/sixties dynamic at play throughout the entire track. The infusion of more atmosphere and some scratching a la…
The sheer amount of different supplements on the fitness market is enough to have a potential buyer’s head spin. While understanding what a vitamin does is not too terribly hard, when individuals start hearing different abbreviations (HGH, ATP), it becomes incredibly confusing. This confusion only increases when it comes to the fact that each company creates a range of supplements that do different things based on what individuals want them…
