In October, London trio SECOND HEAD released ‘TREEZ’, their second EP, which was recorded and produced at Valley Studios by Ben Startup. It’s poppier than their debut EP in places, noisier in others and features Jon Jackson (Kate Nash, Loverman, The Receeders). Second Head is Emma Browning (bass,vox), Wim Eden (bass, guitar, drums), various live drummers and the occasional guitarist. Second Head formed in May 2010; they are currently based…
Sounding like a mix between old-school U2 and The Cure, Pitty Sing comes to the forefront of the synthesizer-kiddos while mixing in an aural sound not unlike the bands off of any of John Hughes’ movies’ soundtracks. “Radio” sounds especially like “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” by the Simple Minds, even down to the chirpiness of the track. Continuing that general sound, these looking-back individuals try to recreate the melodrama…

There are a number of games for all current-gen consoles that claim to provide fitness to those that play them. NewU Fitness First Yoga and Pilates immediately comes forth with a sort of focus that none of these other titles have. Furthermore, while the title does not completely avoid traditional types of cardio-based exercises, the variety in exercises that are provided here ensure that players will be able to break…

CLANDESTINE. CLANDESTINE Female fronted melodic rock with a serious emphasis on kick you in the face attitude. Their debut album “The Invalid” will be released on February 15, 2011. Nightmare Records is based out of St. Paul Minnesota and is distributed RED. Mixed by well known producer Sylvia Massey (Tool, System Of A Down), this band has wickedly infections melodies and music that crosses many lines in the sand of…
I was a little weary of Revelation Records after their last album, Call Me Lightning’s “The Trouble We’re In”, really failed to impress me. However, I have a feeling that Revelation’s stock is rising, specifically because of their release of two albums: this album, as well as the new The Plot to Blow Up The Eiffel Tower. I knew that this album had to be good after the first few…

Recently Knoxville, TN’s WHITECHAPEL and drummer Kevin Lane mutually decided to go their own ways and the internet is already abuzz with rumors as to the reasons behind the split. Kevin offered the following statement to answer fans questions as to why the drummer and the band parted ways: “Over the past years I’ve had the experience of a lifetime and gotten to travel the world with not only a…
It takes a hell of a classic sci-fi film to merit such careful restoration, especially one that that seemed largely lost among the scores of other similarly-themed films that were released in the same general period. Robinson Crusoe on Mars benefits from its director, Byron Haskin. Haskin’s previous coup de grace was The War of the Worlds, a film directed over a decade before Robinson Crusoe on Mars’ 1964 release.…
Pistolita mix two distinct styles to come up with their own distinct sound. On tracks like “Cupid”, the band comes up with a style that mixes in equal proportions Smashing Pumpkins and The Bravery. There are a few other influences that present themselves during “Oliver Under The Moon”, one of which has to be the nod to Blink 182 that makes itself most evident during songs like “Voicebox”. It is…
Swedish rock ‘n’ roll punks IRON LAMB, the band featuring within their gritty ranks metal veterans Johan Wallin (General Surgery, Scurvy, Bombstrike, ex-Repugnant), Grga Lindström (ex-Repugnant), Thomas Daun (Dismember, ex-Repugnant, ex-Insision) and Daniel Ekeroth (Tyrant, ex-Insision, ex-Dellamorte, author of Swedish Death Metal) — are readying to unleash their debut full-length entitled The Original Sin. The Original Sin will feature 10 tracks with artwork and layout by Lindström and Watain’s Erik…
Providing their listener base with a sing-along in “When the Ink Runs Dry” LA’s Pistol Grip ensure that each track on “Tear It All Down!” is the perfect mix of rock and punk. “….For I Have Sinned” may have a guitar wash the by and large works because of the sloppiness found on the track, and “Never B Another” continues that same formula for somewhat diminishing returns. Sure, a closely-grouped…
German thrashers DEW-SCENTED have premiered the video for the track, “Arise From Decay,” from 2010’s acclaimed “Invocation,” out on Prosthetic in North America, Spiritual Beast in Japan and Metal Blade in Europe. Check out the video now, exclusively at Metal Injection: http://www.metalinjection.net/tv/view/6251/dew-scented-arise-from-decay-video-premiere Vocalist Leif Jensen commented, “While we spent a good amount of time on the European roads in 2010 promoting the release of the newest DEW-SCENTED album ‘Invocation,’ we…
These are anxious times. >From unemployment and embattled governments to mysterious mass deaths of birds and fish, it’s easy to wonder if 2012’s apocalypse won’t come a year early. It’s heady fare for an indie rock record, but somehow the dense soundscapes from Hooray for Earth’s True Loves find a way to float on thin air. “The record is really aggressive sounding, but soft in attitude,” band leader Noel Heroux…
2010 proved to be a glowing debut year for Sparrow Records’ Audrey Assad. Her freshman effort, The House You’re Building, was named Amazon.com’s “Best Christian Music of 2010” and iTunes ® Christian & Gospel “Breakthrough Album of the Year.” Amazon.com gave “Restless” the No. 8 position on the “Best Christian Songs of 2010” list. In addition, Assad collected the title of top selling new artist of 2010 in the Christian…
Kingdom Hearts: Re-coded has Square Enix bringing their popular Kingdom Hearts title, coded, off of the mobile phones which it was originally released. This seems to me to be the strongest effort in the series. Where most titles make do with ratcheting up the graphics or game play, this DS port puts all of the dials to 11. Furthermore, unlike the original coded, Re-coded contains all the different chapters that…
TESSERACT is gearing up to unleash the first metal masterpiece of 2011 as their debut album ‘One’ will be released on March 22nd. The full length follows last year’s heralded ‘Concealing Fate’ EP and also includes a bonus DVD that features ‘Concealing Fate’ being performed live in the studio – no overdubs, no re-recording, just pure and raw – the way music was meant to be. The audio for the…
I was able to listen to Pipebomb on their MySpace site before we had them play here in Lancaster. I wasn’t able to get the right aura around the band when they played live, as the PA speaker was blown out by that time. The tracks on “Disclaimer” are all normal length for punk tracks – ranging from 90 to 120 seconds, but the recording on the disc really is…
Seminal electronic band MEAT BEAT MANIFESTO (MBM) is gearing up for their U.S. tour supporting the the release of Answers Come in Dreams via Metropolis Records (released October 12, 2010). Widely hailed for their groundbreaking live performances, MBM propels their electronic music into both a mesmerizing aural and visual dimension. “The live performance has become an integral component of my sound and production,” sound sculptor and music innovator Jack Dangers…
