Now there are eight installments in the soundtrack to your life…OUT NOW.

Vol 1: Music for Lubbock, 1980, brought to you by American sound pioneer 900X, is a record exclusive to the Asthmatic Kitty Records Library Music Catalog. That’s right! You won’t find this recording anywhere else. Northwestern Texas never sounded this good until now. Lubbock’s nickname is the “Hub City,” derived from being the economic, education and health care hub of a multi-county region commonly called the South Plains. The music,…

Mark Lind – Death or Jail (CD)

Obviously Mark Lind is the lead singer of The Ducky Boys, so at some point the two acts will have some general sound in common. Little did I know how common the sounds would be between “Death and Jail” and The Ducky Boys’ last album “The War Back Home”. “No Future’ is the first big hit of the disc, which is built on the guitars that made Face to Face…

UFO TO RELEASE “BEST OF A DECADE” ON SPV/STEAMHAMMER SEPTEMBER 28, 2010

True rock legends such as UFO are characterized not only by the fact that they have added several classic anthems to the annals of rock history, but that their musical output, after many years, still remains at such a consistently high level and they always have something new and fresh coming up. With classic albums such as “Phenomenon”, “Force it” and “No Heavy Pettin” Phil Mogg, Vinnie Moore, Andy Parker…

Limbeck – Let Me Come Home (CD)

Limbeck quickly moves between styles in just the first few tracks of “Let Me Come Home”. The first track, “People Don’t Change” really uses a lot of the momentum generated from an alt country style, while the follow up “Long Way To Go” seems to take a page from all the early Hippie acts. Coming back to the country type of style with “Everyone’s In The Parking Lot”, Limbeck really…

MY JERUSALEM DEBUT ALBUM GONE FOR GOOD OUT SEPTEMBER 6TH

The debut single from My Jerusalem ‘Love You When You Leave’ is already receiving airplay on both BBC2 and BBC6 radio. ‘Love You When You Leave’ is a wonderfully knowing, bittersweet love song of sorts in which bassist Ashley Dzerigian plays Nancy Sinatra to Jeff’s Lee Hazelwood, the affair clocking in at a succinct 2.15. ‘It was one of the first songs we recorded as a band”, Jeff enthuses, “Everyone…

Limbeck – Hi, Everything’s Great (CD)

Limbeck, yet another band off Doghouse Records. Limbeck, band I had only heard of before putting on this new disc. Limbeck, band that plays their rock band roles utterly perfectly. While they are not trying to make their own agenda with “Hi, Everything’s Great”, they are trying to put out the best sounding power-rock out. And with tracks like “Julia”, they might be doing just that. Each song is constructed…

The Like – Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking? (CD)

“June Gloom” starts off The Like’s new disc, and the vocals laid on the track by Z Berg really give the impression that eir has been more influenced by Thom Yorke than anything. Sure, there is a little more substantive of a nod towards this influence because of the very mid-nineties, jangly-alternative played by the band, but the vocals are pretty damning of themselves. Perhaps the most compelling part of…

Deep Elm Records releases THIS DRAMA “Tarantula Mata”

THIS DRAMA hails from the Canary Islands, but these aren’t sunshine-soaked tourist tunes. Produced by The Bronx guitarist Joby Ford, who is known for his proficiency at translating ferocity to tape, Tarantula Mata is a relentless yet slitheringly seductive presentation of pure punk rock. Glorious. Furious. Uncompromising. Laced with hardcore tinges and a hint of late 80’s gutter, it’s the type of music you see described as Punk ‘n’ Roll…

Light Yourself On Fire – S/T (CD)

Kiss of Death Records comes out with some interesting bands that are not on the radar in the slightest. Light Yourself on Fire is one of those bands, and it is surprising that the band has not gotten more in the way of press at the time, given its pedigree. Members in Light Yourself on Fire have been in storied bands such as Reversal of Man, Scrog, Brutality and Omega…

BELLAMY BROTHERS SPICE THINGS UP WITH NEW VIDEO

The old saying “life is like a bowl of cherries” is one phrase that David and Howard Bellamy of the Bellamy Brothers certainly disagree with… at least, in today’s day and age. In fact, the brothers believe that life nowadays is much more comparable to a bowl of jalapenos. Last month via YouTube, the country music legends debuted their new controversial video, ‘Jalapenos’ and have since racked up over 400,000…

The Light Wires – Self-Titled (CD)

Mixing the best of Lucero with the vocals of Eddie Vedder, The Light Wires’ Jeremy add the icing to a confectionary orgasm. Laid back to the extreme, The Light Wires go for the road not taken by fellow labelmates Thistle. As a result, this disc has a much more polished sound and radio-friendliness that something like “Tired Anchor” just didn’t have. Eons beyond anything a jam band could do, The…

The Poppees – Pop Goes The Anthology (CD)

I was born in 1983, so that is likely the reason why I was not familiar with The Poppees’ work before picking up this album. The way I see it, after hearing “Pop Goes The Anthology”, The Poppees were really influential in ultimately determining where American punk would go, in the years immediately preceding acts like The Ramones and Blondie.

Toby Lightman – Bird On A Wire (CD)

I was expecting something completely different from Toby Lightman after looking at the front cover of “Bird On A Wire”. I was expecting something largely acoustic based and quiet, in the vein of artists like Leah Zicari and the like, but what the disc starts out with is something gospel based with “Don’t Wake Me”. After that introduction ends, something pop-laced and country-tinged comes into focus. What I can compare…
