The Memory Band – Apron Strings (CD)

The guitar that opens up a song like “I Wish I Wish” is very traditional sounding, with the female vocals that are paired with the guitar giving the act a more complete approacvh. While the music was created in 2006, there is nothing saying that this type of music – and the band that created it, The Memory Band – could not be from an earlier period. The production is…

Liquido – the exclusive re-release of their album ‘Float’ to be out soon!

Liquido are undoubtedly best known for their smash hit from 1999 – „Narcotic”. The song became a huge mainstream success and is to this day played by numerous European radios.

Metal Mind Productions presents “Float” – one of Liquido’s most rock-oriented efforts, filled with a…

The Melvins – Mangled Demos From 1983 (CD)

The Melvins, I thought, were a metal band. Two things really made me change my mind on that synopsis: first off, the album that Jello Biafra did with these guys, and secondly, this album. “Mangled Demos From 1983” might be from over twenty years ago, but the re-vamped sound of this album (long found as a bootleg) makes the intensity of The Melvins almost as if they were playing for…

Mellowdrone – Box (CD)

Mellowdrone really link the sound of their band during tracks like “C’Mon Try A Little Bit” to their title; the mellow drone of the band in all facets of output (instrumentation or vocals). There is a little electronic/techno edge to “Oh My” which immediately draws a parallel to acts like Nine Inch Nails; the off-kilter sounds of the band that come soon after really distinguish them from the former act.…

Miami Beat Wave- This Is Life Ft Dead Prez on I-Tunes

More than ever, versatility pays. As the lines between musical styles continue to disappear, people are demanding more from what they listen to. Today a hit needs to have a little of everything in it, and in turn, hitmakers need to be capable of doing a little of everything. Versatility is one of many points that set the three-man production collective Miami Beat Wave a clear cut above their competition.…

TV Buddhas discovers the impersonal and cynical on first US tour; Documents it on new vlog.

As a rock and roll band playing year round, TV Buddhas has been dealing with having no home, no friends and no time for themselves, not by the consumption of alcohol or drugs, as the cliché goes, but rather by creating an illusion of a normal everyday. For the past few months, the vlog has become their way to see their own lives from afar through the lens of a…

John Mellencamp – Freedom’s Road (CD)

Kenny Wayne Shepherd and John Mellencamp are two of those individuals. As many know, John Mellencamp was the mastermind behind such rock standards as “Jack and Diane” and “Pink Houses”.

Medications – Self/Titled EP (CD)

Rush and Dream Theatre immediately mix with Weezer to create a current yet aged sound. This “aged” factor, pretty much a reinventing of the shoegazer genre of the mid-nineties, is strengthened through the omnipresent bass by Chad Molter on tracks like “Safe and Sorry”. “Safe and Sorry” benefits from a highly technical guitar arrangement that also recalls the best of sixties rocks like The Kinks. Devin’s vocals, best described as…

Ed Mecija – S/T (CD)

Hey, I had no idea that Ed would be doing rap no this EP. To be honest, there was little that told what type of music that the EP had on it on the front cover. The style of the EP’s first track, “Beautiful Friend”, is very Spartan. The only thing that is a constant during that track are the vocals of Mecija. The flow seems a little rushed at…

DTV Transition

We have had some form of television service for the last few years at the apartment, but I feel that there have been some problems with our cable service. First off, the cost of cable service is absolutely astronomical, while the selection of channels simply is not good. There are also some problems with the amount of different shows that we can record, while one cannot even go and have…

FOXY SHAZAM ANNOUNCE FALL CO-HEADLINING TOUR WITH FREE ENERGY, PRESENTED BY SPIN

Critical praise for Foxy Shazam has been effusive. Their songs “glitter like diamonds and kick like mules” said SPIN, which named the band one of 10 Artists to Watch in 2010 in their December/January issue. The Houston Press called Foxy a “glam-pop face melter,” the Philadelphia Daily News declared them “riotously fun,” and Cincinnati City Beat gushed “Foxy comes off like the second coming of Queen with the smirking ass-kick…
