Ethereal, open guitar lines that mix The Beatles with Gomez, The Pocket Gods feel perfectly fine meandering through “Lost”, seeming more content to be lost than to have a definite gameplan before going into the disc. The band has adequate shelter (the rich recording), even if they are in a little bit of danger due to having a small amount of provisions (the aforementioned open sound, the guitar/drum dynamic found…
In November 2010 Efterklang and Vincent Moon announced that they were working on a film together and that it would premiere in February 2011. In December we were told that Efterklang will bring An Island with them on their European tour February 21st to March 18th 2011. Today Efterklang & Vincent Moon welcome all their listeners and followers to host their own premiere screenings of An Island. As of today…
In all my years of listening to Christian music, I always thought that Plumb was a band instead of just primarily being a singer. Plumb has not lost a step in the ten years that ey has been in the contemporary Christian scene. The second track on the disc is “I Can’t Do This”, and Plumb fully moves into an Evanescence type of groove with this track. In the same…
FAIR TO MIDLAND has announced a month long headlining tour this spring. Dates will span coast to coast starting in early March reaching through the middle of April. PERIPHERY and SCALE THE SUMMIT will offer supporting duties. “We are extremely excited to try out our new songs live in front of all of our friends. It has been too long since we have headlined a tour. Expect a whole new…
The starting out of “Love…Brothel” is one of the more ambitious tracks to be found on any current disc. Incorporating an incredibly dense arrangement alongside breakdowns that incorporate national anthems, the chaos espoused by the band is simply orgasmic. Add that to the fact that the divisions between tracks are very fluid, and one will think that this is one long composition, chopped up for more rapid digestion. The aforementioned…
3 INCHES OF BLOOD made a huge splash on the heavy metal community with the release of their last epic ‘Here Waits Thy Doom’, now the band is preparing for an exciting tour as direct support to ELUVEITIE, but before that gets started they will be making a quick pit stop into Shostroud Productions in Vancouver to record a couple of their new cuts with Sho Murray (City of Fire)…

Jordin will host a series of Super Bowl week events beginning February 2nd (full schedule below).

“Inri” is one track that The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Towel has stepped forward with to placate their fans until the time when their next CD comes out. Best known for their “Love At The Fascist Brothel”, “Inri” is a track that blends together a more muted brand of vocals a la Anti-Flag with a seventies rock type of sound. The presence of the bass line during “Inri”…
The new material will be drawn from the band’s latest release, “Perfectly Defect,” which was released last fall as a free digital download. Mortiis will also showcase songs from the upcoming release, “The Great Deceiver.” “Right now I’m equally curious, nervous, and excited about how our fans, old and new, will take to this,” he added. “We’ve spent a lot of energy in the last few weeks improving the quality…
7 Wonders 2 represents the exact reason why I originally purchased a Nintendo DS. The hand-held, while diverse in the types of games that are present for it, should be used for those doctor’s visits and other time wasting scenarios that pop up from time to time. Mumbo Jumbo is a game company that creates tremendously addictive games, and does so in a way that the replay value never declines.…
Okay, I’ve heard of As I Lay Dying, their album was recorded by someone who worked with The Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower, and in their promotional picture someone is wearing a Crass shirt. Seems good enough to me, and tracks like “Seventeen Year Old Piece of Gold” moves beyond traditional hardcore and into a realm of Temper Temper-style synth-driven rock. The incorporation of multiple harmonies during the…
Not yet satiated by the free booze and such available to them over the last few American jaunts, hardcore blues band EYEHATEGOD again prepare to ride around in a small crappy van and get as unhealthy as possible. The games will commence this February with a blatant hit to the Pacific Northwest in Seattle, Washington on February 5th at El Corazon. The performance will coincide with the club’s six-year anniversary.…
The Playwrights play a very open-ended style at the beginning of their “English Self Storage”; “Why We’ve Become Invisible” mixes together elements as disparate as Madness and New Order, while enrobing their influences with a contemporary style. “Fear Of Open Spaces” starts off in a very positive style, with an interesting vocal pacing by the vocalist from the onset. Including a slightly-angular guitar style to their repertoire for the track,…
I do not take many in the way of supplements. Whether it is because I am lazy or do not like drinking colloidal solutions full of whey or other proteins, I really have no clue. However, Infinite Labs has created a pill in their Phenyl Core that I actually want to take. While marketed as a fat-burner / energy enhancing type of supplement, I feel that bodybuilders will gain some…
Using groundbreaking 3-D technology originally intended for Michael Jackson’s farewell tour, Los Angeles-based electro-punk/hip-hop duo Kid Infinity will once again make history as they aim to take the live music experience to new heights with their interactive stereoscopic three-dimensional production. The second-ever Kid Infinity 3-D Live show will take place Saturday, February 5 at the historic Alexandria Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets for the 21+ show are on sale…

Every year, it seems as if there are a number of films that look to cash in on a successful original or first sequel. Many of these films are devoid of solid or interesting content, and seem to be questionably made. For example, Bring It On has spawned a number of sequels while Spiderman 4 looks to be trucking pretty nicely in development. However, Step Up 3 largely avoids many…
Within a grainy film-still between a summer sunset and the end of times lies the post-punk squall of Weekend. Weekend filter the aggression, tempo and sneer of punk through a wall of reverb, haunting melody, feedback and primitive garage guitar. Formed in San Francisco in late 2009 by three childhood friends, the band have quickly developed a totally distinctive take on the history of post-punk noise rock. Some touchstones along…
