The Cleveland Show is further evidence that whenever Seth MacFarlane has a new project out, ey throws all of eir weight into creating the best possible show. Where Family Guy was once the best show, it rapidly turned into American Dad and now is The Cleveland Show. This DVD set showcases everyone’s favorite sidekick – Cleveland Brown, eir son and a host of new characters. These characters range from the…
Apparently they couldn’t get enough of the “bromance” that began last year on their first annual “Totally F*ckin’ Doin’ It” Tour, because Tony Lucca, Jay Nash and Matt Duke are doing it all over again – one year later. To celebrate that anniversary, this year’s 2.0 outing kicks off on November 11th at SPACE in Evanston, IL, and the three music compadres plan to criss-cross the Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, the…

Pure Reason Revolution are proof a band can be influenced by ELO, Smashing Pumpkins, Soulwax, Depeche Mode and The Beach Boys all at once, yet make sense of a vision that brings those disparate voices together into a sound that combines electronic dance rhythms, pop hooks and sublime vocal harmonies with huge rock riffs. To give you an idea what to expect on their upcoming album Hammer and Anvil you…
The band will open on a total of 17 dates, beginning with the February 19th show at Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ and including two consecutive nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden Arena (February 21st & 22nd). See below for a complete list of dates featuring Scissor Sisters. The band recently completed a North American headlining jaunt that elicited stellar reviews. “The smiles, showmanship, disco-era…
It’s been a hell of a long time since I wrote up a show review, so I have to apologize if this is particularly garish. Anyways, Checkers and Trophies is a bar stuck in the middle of residential Kent, and is one of those locations that I have actually never attended before tonight. Learning earlier this week that there was a show at the bar (and a $2 cover at…
A Perfect Circle, who announced their return from hiatus last week, have announced a five-city, multi-night tour for this fall with ticket on-sales slated for this week. There is a two ticket limit on all shows. A very limited number of VIP packages will be available for each show. The two different packages are: 1. Wine tasting, meet and greet, admission ticket; 2. Meet and greet, admission ticket. Shows in…
Another very catchy batch of emo/punk sensibilities from this Indiana band that will drive your head into a frenzied bop that just wont stop. Every song on “The Record Play” is constructed in a linear fashion with nearly the same tempo, allowing an individual to more easily notice the subtle currents running through the entirety of the disc. “Nothing to Write” is the beginning of when the disc becomes something…
Des Knaben Wunderhorn with the Wiener Virtuosen – a conductor-less ensemble comprised of the principal players of the Vienna Philharmonic – available in January 2011. Hampson performs Mahler in many of the world’s musical capitals with orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, NDR Sinfonieorchester, Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester, and Czech Philharmonic with conductors like Alan Gilbert, Manfred Honeck, Mariss Jansons, Philippe Jordan, and Antonio Pappano.…
Metal Mind Productions presents Nocte Obducta – a true metal phenomenon and one of the most influential black metal groups in Germany. Their music is often referred to as ‘avant-garde black metal’ due to their uncanny ability to combine brutal, demonic metal with psychedelic and even progressive styles. Their fourth full-length album, “Galgendämmerung – Von Nebel, Blut und Totgeburten” was originally released in 2002. This exclusive reissue brings back this…
“The Highest Highs & The Lowest Lows” truly begins when The Jesus Rehab gets to “If It Feels Good It Is Good”, a track that immediately defies convention. It simply has something for everyone, whether they are fans of Weezer, The New Radicals, or even Eve 6. The Ben Folds-esque piano turns this track into something that would easily be on rock radio, ensuring the band a spot on the…
Settlefish’s newest album “ The Plural of the Choir” comes to a slow start and finally reaches the heights with “The Barnacle Beach”. The track benefits mostly from an interesting and innovative way of arrangement that staggers a myriad of vocals to draw all listeners along for the ride. Continuing the At The Drive-In esque vocals that marked their previous Deep Elm release, “Dance A While, Upset”, Settlefish ride the…

Mizar starts off “The King of the Stars” with a synthesizer track that mixes together Nintendo midis with traditional “gothic” and dance beats. However salvageable the beat was (for it was not the cutting edge of innovation), Mizar’s own vocals, overbearing and poorly recorded really cast the track further down in ignominy. “Out of Control” is an early track that shows a minor amount of movement to the positive end…
Today, AETERNITAS TENEBRARUM MUSIC FOUNDATION (ATMF) confirms the signing of 11 AS IN ADVERSARIES. 11 AS IN ADVERSARIES is a metal/rock/psych project that aims to offer an alternative to a swamp of occasionnally limited artists: a new band forged by the mastermind of the French band Glorior Belli, with a guest appearance of Niklas Kvarforth of the infamous Swedish band Shining. Brought into existence in early 2010 by a vehement…
After their successful tours with Gamma Ray and Axel Rudi Pell in spring and the great reception on the summer festivals the band played in Germany, Switzerland, France and the Czech Republic, FREEDOM CALL are now more than ready to embark on their biggest headlining tour ever. Together with several great support acts Chris Bay & Co are hungry and willing to show the fans what they can do best:…
New wave music with the chirpiness of synthesizers in the vein of Wendy Carlos, and a voice that is almost painful to listen to. While someone like Atom and His Package can use a kitschy sound and synthesizer to make light-hearted music, Mizar loses any impressiveness from the intricately planned out synth lines with vocals dumped on each track seemingly with a $2 microphone. The lo-fi synth sound has been…
