Musical Underground Theatre – To A Town Near You (CD)

The band does not give much of an idea what they sound like from how this EP looks. It is covered in a plain white paper holder, and the cover of the CD is nothing more than two faces that put together look like the body of a violin. To say I have no clue what Musical Underground Theatre sound like is an understatement. With “Verse One”, individuals will be…

Murder Disco X – Ground Zero Stuttgart (CD)

This is an all-star band if I ever heard one; Murder Disco X has members of Severed Head of State, Cluster Bomb Unit and Detestation. Of course, there have been a number of bands that have sucked it up royally that could be called “All-Star” (including acts like the Damn Yankees). However, there is no need to worry with Murder Disco X, as “Robots” starts off this disc with simple…

Murder By Death – In Bocca Al Lupo (CD)

You would not expect this style of music when you hear that a band is named Murder By Death. Instead of being a crust or metal band, Murder By Death is an indie rock band that throws together a very vocal, Dylan-descendent style with strings and tribal drums. In fact, during the first track of “In Bocca Al Lupo” (“Boy Decide”), Murder By Death has a very Voltaire type of…

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…

Jookabox to tour Western US this November with two new 7″!

Jookabox is touring the Western US this November with two new 7″, before recording a follow-up to the wildly excitable Dead Zone Boys LP. The two 7″, titled Import and Export, will be available for purchase on tour, then to the public in early December. They’ll continue to post photos, cryptic messages and trippy videos of their journey, diary style, on their web-zone http://jookabox.net. If you haven’t yet picked up…

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…
