Having good tasting and filling options for one’s pre and post workout regime is important, and should be seen at a level comparable to a good shake or other supplement. While many fitness-minded individuals will undoubtedly know about the different protein bars on the market, I believe that Titan High Protein Cookies have been largely ignored.
The heavy bass line that begins “Adventures in Chaos” is reminiscent of Anthrax’s version of “Got The Time”. This properly-energetic track is the perfect introduction of the band to fans, and represents just one of the many high points that the disc has to offer. Intense vocals, splashy drums, and driving guitars all unite to create a track that straddles the line between rock and metal. “Bridge Too Far” switches…
I absolutely love when there is a good remaster or reissue of a forgotten disc. Sundazed’s 2011 version of the Blues Magoos 1966 classic is without fault. A quick glance of this 1,000-print limited edition disc showcases absolutely brilliant and vibrant cover art, while sticking the album into one’s player will show a similarly intense quality. This is due to the fact that Sundazed has procured the Mercury master reels,…

Taylor performed on two different stages, playing several different…

Ms. Poplavskaya was already scheduled to sing Marguerite during the second run of Faust performances next winter. The new production, which opens on November 29th, will be conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin…

After an appearance at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in Quincy, Washington (May 30), the band will kick off a run of dates June 10 at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival…

Drummer Kyle Severn gave the following statement, “On behalf of myself and Incantation, we would like to announce that we have just been added to the greatest indoor European death metal fest line up that we have ever seen. Yes, I’m…
After faltering in the late nineties and early oughts, it seems as if vinyl has finally vanquished one challenger (cassette) and is looking for a tag team victory with iTunes against the flagging CD format. This blend of old music format and cutting-edge digital representations of music is mirrored perfectly in OFF!. OFF! is the new project by Keith Morris (Circle Jerks and Black Flag), taking up residence with Dimitri…
This April, Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, and Old Crow Medicine Show will embark on a tour unlike any in recent memory. Traveling exclusively in vintage railcars, the three bands will journey across the American Southwest over the course of a week. The aptly titled Railroad Revival Tour will feature the three bands playing concerts at six unique outdoor locations along the route, beginning April 21st…

I graduated from college with a classics degree, along with a mountain of debt. I am familiar with Boudicca, but I believe that a number of other individuals have not had a chance to properly understand the impact that this Celtic queen had on any sort of rebellion against the Roman empire. Warrior Queen is a story about Boudicca’s trials and tribulations, and the lead role is filled by Alex…
A great many of the bands that come from the United Kingdom possess a certain musical pedigree that presents itself audibly during their music. It becomes an easy feat for a great many of these bands to succeed based on this pedigree along, but a special kudos has to go out to any sort of band that looks to break free of this style. I have to contend that The…
This DVD was filmed last year at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, and represents a killer show in memory of Les Paul. Jeff Beck provides the most brilliant star power of the night, but the ranks are filled out by legends like Gary U.S. Bonds, Imelda May, and Trombone Shorty. What results is an eclectic set of performances that never fails to impress. There is nary a…
Wubbzy’s Egg-Cellent Easter provides viewers with some of the newest children’s programming about the holiday, and this collection of episodes will keep children occupied for well over an hour. Far from being limited to the Easter holiday, this DVD marks the change in seasons. With a move away from the snow that has blanketed us here in Kent for the last few months, Wubbzy’s game of kickball with eir friends…
The 90’s were a bad time for books by comedians. Apparently you were handed a publishing contact as soon as one of the networks picked up your sitcom, which explained such dreadful books that lined the clearance table by folks like Tim Allen and Drew Carey. Now that someone has obviously shut down the pipeline between the comedy clubs and paint-by-number sitcoms, it looks like publishing houses are finally showing…
