I personally like when different companies marry “cute” with absolute intense, gory, or otherwise horrific themes. It’s a nice chiaroscuro, and one that livens up typically played-out genres and styles of games. Naughty Bear does just that, setting players in control of the titular character that has been utterly spurned by Daddles, whom is having a birthday party. Instead of keeping eir mouth shut, Naughty Bear looks to wreak revenge…
Enter for a chance to win an iPad from NeuFutur and punk rockers DRIVE A! The band just got off the Bamboozle Roadshow with All Time Low, and will be heading back out on the road this Fall with Bullet For My Valentine, Escape The Fate, and Black Tide.
Produced by John Alagia (John Mayer, Jason Mraz, Ben Folds Five, Brett Dennen) Ry Cuming features 11 tracks that perfectly encompass Ry’s signature style – an effortless combination of tumbling falsetto melodies and rocking choruses set to a captivating musical narrative. Maroon 5’s Jesse Carmichael contributes his beautiful piano work to the album and Sara Bareilles lends her vocal talent to the track,”Always Remember Me.” The national tour includes dates…

The first single, “Falling Awake” (featuring Jason Hook from Five Finger Death Punch) will be released August 17 as a limited edition 7″ through The Omega Order and available August 24 at all digital outlets . The track is backed with “The Good Die Young” –…
The roughness of the rock that Loudlife comes up with for the opening of their CD is something that follows from 38 Special and leads through Every Mother’s Nightmare and Cinderella into something that is new but with a lot of history behind it. The vocals of Lorraine Ferro during this disc are at least as strong as furious as the guitar work that screams in the background, which makes…
Fresh off the remix for Ciara’s “Ride” that he produced and featured on alongside Andre 3000, Bei Maejor drops the first track off his upcoming free album uʍop ǝpısdn (Upside Down). “Gamez,” featuring famed songwriter-turned-artist Keri Hilson, is the first offering from the project, which is hosted by Clinton Sparks and features a flurry of other big time features.

Well into their first nationwide headline tour, New Politics announces they will hit the stage this fall with multiplatinum rock band, 30 Seconds to Mars in support of their self-titled debut album (RCA Records). New Politics is taking the world by storm with their explosive first single “Yeah Yeah Yeah” which is Top 10 on the iTunes Alternative Chart and continues to explode at Modern Rock Radio. New Politics performed…
Today, MORIBUND RECORDS announces the signing of HAERESIARCHS OF DIS. HAERESIARCHS OF DIS is a one-man black metal project currently residing in the woods of Lexington Hills, California. Formed by Cernunnos, the band produces underground black metal bearing avant-garde, ambient, and melodic elements. Imagery and lyrical content are derived from misanthropic and anti-Christian ideologies with undercurrents of Indo-European mythology. The band has three releases to date including the debut full…
The sunny punk-pop of “Feels Like Drowning” shows Dennis to be more influenced by Dick Dale and The Ramones than by Husker Du and The Replacements. This is not to say that the music has a dated or otherwise backwards sound it, but to expect more of the same music that brought Refused to the forefront is to invite disappointment. This brand of punk is almost the most simplistic and…
ust in time for Halloween, Camp Motion Pictures unveils SCULPTURE, a brutal psychological shocker that Fearzone calls “well-acted, gory, and disturbing,” and HorrorSociety.com praises as. “…a visceral treat on many levels.” Starring Raine Brown (DARK CHAMBER) and Misty Mundae (Cinemax’s LINGERIE, Masters of Horror SICK GIRL), this harrowing story of an emotionally fragile artist and the repressed trauma that threatens her sanity will have you on the edge of your…

Keeping true to their status as at least a partially-California band, Los Kung-Fu Monkeys uses a number of styles to provide a fresh and groovy album for their listeners. Working off a base of Ska, Punk, and Surf, the Monkeys use a very positive-sounding music to promote a better world; specifically asking individuals to “justify your actions”, “take a look at the city tonight”, and “to stop all this war”.…
Boston’s Have Heart was perhaps one of the most impactful and relevant bands to exist in the hardcore circuit in the 2000’s and have remained relevant even since they disbanded in October of 2009. Over their seven-year-long career, the band released two albums for Bridge Nine Records: 2008’s Songs to Scream at the Sun and the band’s 2006 debut full-length The Things We Carry. That landmark recording (The Things We…
Losing All Pride plays a brand of punk that is tremendously tied into hardcore. The style is something that is comparable to an act like Sum 41, but there seems to be a much more genuine thrash influence. This is probably due to the fact that the band is coming fro a California that is rife with thrash history. This means that the disc is well less than thirty minutes,…
Ottawa-based five-piece The Acorn will be heading on tour to support their third full-length album, No Ghost, out now digitally and due September 7 (CD/LP) on Bella Union. The Acorn recently returned to NYC, playing three highly successful shows in expectation of their upcoming fall tour. While in NYC, the Acorn were featured on WNYC and were filmed performing tracks off the new album in the Time Out NY offices…

Los Deadbeats is a band from the Kent area. I actually have only seen them live once, but had a chance to hear this disc at the kids’ old house. Putting this disc in my player for a serious second listen allows me to hear more of the nuance that makes “Probably Drunk” much more of a solid album. During songs like “Legend of the Fohamma”, Los Deadbeats take on…
Kathryn Williams releases her new album “Relations” this Fall through One Little Indian Records. “Relations” is a beautiful collection of interpretations of classic well-known tracks and some lesser-known gems originally by the likes of Jackson Browne, Nirvana and Neil Young. Produced by Kathryn Williams, “Relations” was recorded with her regular band in her hometown, Newcastle. She recently released “The Quickening” on One Little Indian to some great critical responses.

The hard crunch that starts out “Snake” is something that I completely did not expect from a band called Los Burbanks. The track throws in some punk bass into something that eventually makes itself into a style that seems closer to what a band called Los Burbanks would sound like. This means that “Snake” is a blend of 311 and Incubus and early Offspring. Los Burbanks are a bipolar band…
