Mark Newman – Must Be A Pony (CD)

The country overtones that begin “Dead Man’s Shoes” colour this disc from the outset, with individuals only needing a few seconds to get a first impression from Mark Newman. However much of a country influences may be during the beginning few minutes of “Must Be A Pony”, there are equal hints of indie and rock present, to increase the amount of listeners considerably. The blend of country and funk that…

Lauren K Newman – Postulate I (CD)

“Hope/Fiction” is the first full track that Lauren K Newman starts off eir “Postulate I” with, and to say that is defies convention is a great first step for trying to understand what exactly it is that Newman tries to do here. So many different and disparate struggles are striving for dominance during this track, a tendency that is continued wholeheartedly for “Prognosis”. At least “Prognosis” has Newman taking a…

The New Lou Reeds – Screwed (CD)

The New Lou Reeds have probably the most dead-on name in the whole of music today, as they start off “Screwed” with a direct Velvet Underground-influenced track in “The Gutter”. From the grungy production value to the detatched style of singing, The New Lou Reeds would make a believer out of the old Lou Reed. The vocals laid down by Stephe DK have a Mojo Nixon-twang to them that really…

The Dears Upcoming Album DEGENERATION STREET

A welcome return to form and for fans of the operatic hysteria of past albums, NO CITIES LEFT and GANG OF LOSERS, DEGENERATION STREET finds Murray Lightburn creating a sweeping collection of orchestral pop / rock that is at once enlightening, angst-ridden and mesmerizing. Check out the first track “Omega Dog” live from Mexico City: http://bit.ly/cxoTVc “Omega Dog” encapsulates The Dears’ neo-romantic songwriting and acts as a calling card for…

The Band Perry – The Band Perry (CD)

Country music is a genre in which it seems tremendously hard to break through. The number of established acts that are on the charts at any one time are few, and consist largely of those performers that have been doing their thing for a number of years. However, this trend may yet change with the release of The Band Perry’s first, self-titled album. This album was able to practically reach…

New Found Glory – Coming Home (CD)

I was really wondering where New Found Glory was going to go since “Catalyst” do not do all that well. This would be a very important album for New Found Glory, that is sure. The second that I turned on “It’s Not Your Fault”, I heard that the band had invested a large amount in a much more mature, more emo-located type of music. This was done to the detriment…

Jim Beam Black (Bourbon Whiskey)

Jim Beam Black is the latest release by Beam Global, and it showcases an extreme amount of casking (8 years) that actually doubles the amount of time that the white version of Jim Beam enjoys in wood. This results in one of the best bourbons that I’ve had the chance to sample, right down to the fragrant nose that immediately hits when one opens the bottle. While pushing the limits…

New England Roses – Face Time With Son (CD)

The New England Roses make an album in “Face Time With Son” that does not have the polish of a more-major type of album. The vocals present on a track like “Dancing Nancies” sounds more similar to something out of The Sissies’ vein of thing more than the buffed sound of PJ Harvey. Interestingly enough “Blood Blood Blood” seems to use the lightest hint of the Civil War song “My…

New Electric – S/T (CD)

The opening for “Surf” does not sound like its title genre, but rather of a spontaneous type of noise-rock that is not necessarily borne out by the music present on the track. In fact, the incredibly quick bass lines during the track give the song an incredible amount of harmony. The track eventually gets off of its trackos and the resulting chaos brings the previously mentioned bout of noise into…

The New Dawn – Rekindled (CD)

Let me make it clear that I’ve never been into a church for service in my life. I found Christian music to be enjoyable for quite a few months back in high school and the first year or so of college, and there is still a soft spot in my heart for a few acts out there. In the last few years, there has been an expansion of bands that…
