Jen Murdza – Things Untold (CD)

The funky style of Murdxa during “Lamb” is not going to win eir any fans. The style has been done a number of times, and while “Lamb” is a pop song, it does not break enough ground to make it into the hearts and minds of individuals. This happens a lot with aspiring pop stars; the individuals make pop songs but they do not imbue them with enough soul to…

Multiverse – S/T (CD)

Multiverse plays a very safe brand of rock that is more likely to be heard in coffee shops and frat houses than anywhere else. The style is an adult contemporary brand rock that is blended with an adequate amount of jazz and funky to create something that can be received equally well by all. The disc’s first track “Different Worlds” seems to portend the blend of styles, and while there…

The two 7″, titled Import and Export, will be available for purchase on tour, then to the public in early December.

Municipal Waste – Hazardous Mutation (CD)

After the introduction, “Unleash The Bastards” starts off Municipal Waste’s latest album “Hazardous Mutation”., The clarity in which Municipal Waste works may be the most shocking thing about the band, far outstripping the speed and intensity that this thrash act puts forth on every track of “Hazardous Mutation”. There are hints of “Rust in Peace”-era Megadeth, D.R.I., and much more present in the Waste’s style, but the inclusion of the…

NeuFutur Introducing: Lauren Pritchard, Raspy, R&B-meets-gospel swagger, on Universal Republic

Lauren Pritchard was 15 when she knew that she wanted to make music and she left her home in Jackson, TN to make it in Los Angeles. After finishing school and gigging at various events around town for years, the struggling artist found herself broke and homeless. Thanks to persistent friends, Lauren stayed in LA, and things began to look up when (the) Lisa Marie Presley offered her a place…

Mummy The Peepshow – School Girl Pop (CD)

Mummy The Peepshow is the first band that has been imported from Japan from Records of the Damned that really breaks free of the J-pop label. In fact, the first track on the disc (“Hide-And-Seek On The Turntable”) ties together Brassy with L7 to make a hard rocking and musically confident track. There is much of the same happening on the disc’s title track. The straight-forward dominance of the guitar…

STRIKE ANYWHERE HEADS OUT ON TOUR

Strike Anywhere has been pounding the pavement hard since their 2009 Bridge Nine release Iron Front, sharing the stage with bands like Propagandhi, Bane, Polar Bear Club and Four Year Strong. Called “…the strongest record in the quintet’s career” by the Washington Post-Express, Iron Front delivered the driving political punk this Richmond staple has been known and loved for over the past decade. Rave Magazine perhaps said it best: “Ten…

Andy Mullen – I Wish My Name Were Jack (CD)

Even though the music on “I Wish My Name Were Jack” was xcreated this last year, the compositions feel as if they could have came out years and year ago. The disc’s first track is “Salt Water Jam”, and it meanders around for a few minutes before Mullen moves on. This music is not for those individuals that wish to run or mosh to the guitar strains of an act.…

M2B – Signs (CD)

The way in which “Floating In The Clouds” starts is very sedate. If anything, one can hear the style of acts like Soul Asylum, Blues Traveler, and Rusted Roots in this track. In fact, the band builds their sound specifically on the style of these bands. The opening track is only three minutes long, and the slower tempo of M2B makes the three minute runtime of the song feel more…

Mt. Gigantic – Old Smiler (CD)

I had no clue what Mt. Gigantic was going to sound like before I put the disc in the player, and I feel good that I did not read the promo sheet before listening in this instance. What follows is a truly unique style of music, similar to A Silver Mt. Zion in its ability to subsume all different styles of music and create something that is their own. Bloomington,…
