Quickening – A Victory (CD)

The brand of rock that Quickening play is the type of introspective, retro-shoegazing emo that has catapulted such independent labels as Deep Elm to the forefront. This fact is not that amazing after learning that Quickening is from Cleveland, which Deep Elm’s own Brandtson calls home.Rich instrumentation swirls around the rich vocals laid down by James. Quickening seems to be a band that is relatively well-hyped, and I believe it…

Rabies Caste – S/T CD (CD)

This may just be the band that has had the most time between reviews at NeuFutur. It was back in around 2001 when “Let The Soul Out and Cut The Vein” was reviewed. The band has broken up, and this CD represents a collection of the tracks that for whatever reason were never released. The brutalisy is shown early on during “Timeless”, which is a track that tears up, that…

Evergreen Records recording artist DJ Miller is kicking off the new year with a new single, “Whatever It Takes,” from his forthcoming 2011 debut album release. Written by songwriters Don Goodman, Brad Wolf and Trini Triggs, “Whatever It Takes” is a commanding, traditional-style Country ballad that aptly showcases the 21-year-old singer’s rich vocal. It follows Miller’s 2010 debut single, “A Little Naughty Is Nice,” and a special holiday release, “A…

Quickening – Are You Listening? (CD)

Mixing Third Eye Blind with Fuel for their first track on Are You Listening?, Quickening use interesting, offbeat arrangements to make the track catchier. The guitars laid down by James and Justin are in the higher register, and provide an interesting contract to the more middle-ground nature of James’ vocals. Perfect music for popular radio circa 1999-200, but Quickening stays away from any staleness argument due to the convictions they…

Qwel and Meaty Ogre – Freezer Burner (CD)

Qwel and Meaty Ogre are an mc and producer duo. The tracks sound a lot like another independent rapper, MC Homeless, and on “Freezerburner” interesting backing beats work well with the flow that are laid down. The instrumentation that take place during songs like “ID Glue” are Spartan but do their job perfectly; they give the flow a proper canvas to paint on. Qwel and Meaty Ogre are intelligent as…

Quasi – Hot Shit (CD)

I believe that I was in one of the best positions to review this disc, as I had never even heard of Quasi before I was sent this disc. The CD starts off with “Hot Shit”, bubbling with oddly-constructed guitar lines and the double-harmony of Janet and Sam .Short in duration, it proceeds as a bizarro-opening to the disc : the continual “Goodbyes” framed in a hopeful voice causes confusion…

NeuFutur Magazine Introducing: LEVERAGE MODELS

Leverage Models came out of nowhere. Leverage Models came out of everywhere. When our friend Shannon Fields sent us a few new songs last year, we scrambled to our speakers and hit play. The embers of Stars Like Fleas, Shannon’s decade-long project centered in New York City, had been glowing since our release of 2008’sThe Ken Burns Effect. They’d set alight a new flame, Family Dynamics, and we’d been watching…

KIDS OF 88 BRING THEIR KIWI CHARM TO THE US

It’s pretty much impossible for any band to pull of a support slot for bands as diverse as Scissor Sisters, Passion Pit and Ke$ha successfully… unless you’re New Zealand’s KIDS OF 88. Not only did they pull it off, they did it without compromising, at least not consciously. “I can’t say we set out to become people pleasers, although we are both Aquarians, so it is part of our nature,”…

Quartet of Happiness – S/T (CD)

The front cover of this disc does not give individuals much an idea what Quartet of Happiness will play. Individuals may get an idea if they look at the back, as there is a crude cartoon with two members playing brass, an upright bass, and a drummer. However, even that will not give individuals the best idea of what Quartet of Happiness ultimately sounds like. After putting the disc on,…

Mr. Brady – “Catch” Feat. Aloe Blacc

Continuing on from his success with “Get Choze” and “Real Heavy” in 2010, both of which are singles from Labor Of Love, Mr Brady starts this year with another laid back and relaxed track “Catch” featuring fellow west coaster Aloe Blacc. Mr. Brady eschews rhyming on Labor Of Love, instead handling production duties for the entire album. “Catch” is another perfect example of Brady’s ability to produce sonically pleasing beats…

The band will re-team with metal mastermind Jason Suecof at his Audio Hammer Studios outside of Orlando, FL.

QuarterLife Crisis – Forget The Time (CD)

Nu-metal ties itself in with the more-hardcore emo and a myriad of different genres to provide QuarterLife Crisis with their motivation. With an ear for melody and a mind for the greatest possible impact, QLC places “What You Will” with its catchy choruses as the first track, and places the Strike Anywhere/A Wilhelm Scream-like track with fierce vocals and tribal drums, right after. Morphing in quickly with the end of…

Pvrenchymv – Demo (CD)

The recording on this demo is a little rough, but when it is compared to the average recording from Greencastle, it is actually fairly professional. For those who don’t know, Pvrenchymv is a progressive-rock band that is incredibly hard to pigeonhole. The first track, “Une” has a myriad of influences pushing through all facets of the track: Korn, Dream Theatre, even Creed all come through. The distortion on the guitars…
