I was a little antsy when I learned that A&E was branching off into drama rather than continuing to solely focus on reality television shows. The Glades premiered last year, and ties together a number of up and coming actors with established television personas. Matt Passmore plays Detective Jim Longworth, a transplant to the area from the Windy City. Longworth takes a position at the FDLE – the Florida Department…

It is rare to view a film that has so many nods to different genres. In the case of Payton Collins Serial Rapist, director Toby Ross is able to blend horror, thriller, and erotic elements into what ey calls darkotica. It is this ability to move seamlessly through these different genres is why the film becomes inviting, but the roles turned in by the different members of the cast is…

Humans beware; the most putridly progressive and wildly warped split release of the year is upon us! A total head-to-head freakout-fest featuring two of New Jersey’s premiere tech-prog-psycho metal acts, EL DRUGSTORE and A FUCKING ELEPHANT, the split EP was recently completed and will ooze into the public on July 26, in both CD and digital formats. This will be the maiden voyage for newly formed Nefarious Industries, a label…
SEVENDUST was forced to cut their current European tour short over the weekend due to circumstances beyond their control. The trek was scheduled to conclude June 24 in Madrid. They’re deeply apologetic to their international fans and hope to see them very soon. The band will be regrouping for their forthcoming U.S. headlining tour—along with Adelitas Way, Emphatic and Violence To Vegas–which launches July 7 in Cedar Rapids before heading…
When a band member goes solo, there is typically some semblance of their original act present in the solo album. Brian Olive just spent a few years in The Greenhornes and Soledad Brothers, and the music that issues forth on “Two of Everything” is considerably different from either of those acts. In fact, there is a marked departure from any of Olive’s previous bands in the opening strains of “Left…

“Still,” the highly anticipated and eagerly awaited new studio album from the platinum-selling, chart-topping, award-winning Gospel duo BeBe & CeCe Winans in more than 15 years, didn’t disappoint its fans, nor the music industry community. “Still” reached the #1 ranking on the following Billboard charts: Hot Gospel Song Top Gospel Album Top Independent Album Top Christian & Gospel Album In addition, “Still” has had digital success, reaching #1 on the…
Iron Maiden has been one of my favorite metal bands for a long time now. The first concert that I ever attended was an Iron Maiden show, and a great number of the tracks contained on “From Fear to Eternity” are their strongest cuts. This 23 track greatest hits compilation could easy have another two or three discs added without any decrease in quality, but Universal has done a tremendous…
The Accel Recovery Bar is integral for anyone that is looking for a healthy snack, recovery after a workout, or for a way to easily increase their health.

American soprano Christine Brewer takes on her newest challenge on July 17 at the hallowed Hollywood Bowl, debuting in the iconic title role of Puccini’s Turandot in a concert performance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel. The performance not only marks the first time Brewer will have sung Puccini’s Chinese princess; it also marks Dudamel’s first time conducting a Puccini opera. The Grammy Award-winning soprano’s summer also includes…
Lurking beneath the surface of metal underground, NYC’s own SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE… have created a devastating musical hybrid of heart racing proportions. Fusing post rock leanings (Envy, Mono, Godspeed You! Black Emperor) and adventurous black metal (Wolves In The Throne Room, Celeste) with classical beauty (Arvo Part, Beethoven), SO HIDEOUS, MY LOVE… lay claim to the appropriately termed buzz moniker “post-black metal” with their newest offering, To Clasp A…
The LA/SF based Gypsy Treasures premieres a dizzying new video. Directed by Samantha Gurry, Tiny Mix Tapes says “It’s a good example of Gypsy Treasure’s psychedelic stupor. Think Sun City Bishops with Gocher presiding over stereotypes of Middle Eastern/Eastern European origin.” Gypsy Treasures is the sole document of artist Aria Jalali’s mid-2000s basement raga project in which blown-out faux-modal guitar lines snake and coil under a cavernous reverb chamber while…
I make my wife a number of different mixtapes of the newest and best rap music, and there are a number of times where I am unable to find a straight mp3 download of the file. To get these songs onto her CDs, I use a video converter. This video converter, available at the links, allows me to rapidly pull the underlying audio file from the video file, no matter…
Tracklisting: Spring Blossoms Slow Dance Will You Still Love Me Ever Fallen In Love Came Home Cryin’ Low Tide Lullaby www.sylviablack.net www.bettyblack.bandcamp.com www.kidoutsider.com Throughout the 6-track EP, Sylvia seductively glides through buoyant terrains weaving a dreamlike journey through love and its twisted shadows. At turns dark and atmospheric, hedonistic and haunting, her erotically charged, velveteen voice possesses an intimacy and raw emotion that enthralls listeners. Songs like the euphoric lead…
There is a considerable amount of variation when it comes to pre-workout supplements. While each of them will get you amped due to the presence of caffeine, it takes a good supplement to really do everything that any company promises. To that end, I feel that the GAT Jet Fuse pre-workout is perhaps the best pre-workout supplement that I have tried.
“Lucky You” is an interesting pop track that ties together a current and contemporary sound with the synth-pop of the eighties along with the female singers of the mid-sixties. By bringing back these disparate styles and bundling them up with a bold new approach, what results in the Theory of Tides EP is nothing less than revolutionary. “Stay Away” is my favorite track on this album, as it provides an…
“Connected” is the introduction that many listeners will have to Richard Anthony; the catchy pop that opens up the disc provides a perfect backdrop that Anthony can then build off of. “Even If” continues many of the trends that are initially present during “Connected”, placing Anthony’s vocals at the forefront of the track. The guitar work and drums present during this track provide additional levels of complexity; “Even If” is…
The type of rock that Revel 9 immediately hit their listeners with has the immediate catchiness to be present on rock radio, while the overall sound of Revel 9 touches upon a number of different rock styles. Particularly noticeable during “San Jose” has to be the guitar work, which lifts the track to an entirely new plateau. The band marries together a much grittier feel with a punk style that…
