Essentially, all this issue is is a collection of fliers that Josh Redd Sanchez has created for concerts during the last few years. However, the evolution of the fliers is shown through a chronological arrangement and as such, we can start to notice the construction of a set of characters and story. The style is a very sketchy style and J.R.’s comedy properly shows the problems that plague many of…

Benea Reach starts off their “Monument Bineothan†in a pretty normal, middle of the road way. There might be a tremendous amount of “heaviness†present, but the first track “Ground Slayer†does little to really compel listeners to focus in. The band is able to make their compositions fit together nicely, and make a play for the Headbanger’s Ball group, but the only thing interesting during the disc’s first track…
It’s been three long years since Hollywood Undead first broke onto the scene after releasing a handful of songs on their MySpace page that attracted a massive following. Today, the band that topped the MySpace charts years ago looks to conquer the musical realm with classics like, “No. 5″, “Undead”, “Sell Your Soul”, “Bottle and a Gun” and “Black Dahlia” as well as new tracks, “Everywhere I Go”, “California”, “No…
Exploring and expressing Mexico’s rich culture has been a lifelong passion for Lila Downs. On Shake Away, Downs takes listeners on a journey that’s both intensely personal and vividly universal. Recorded in New York and Mexico City, the songs range from the pointed “Minimum Wage” to the mystical “Silent Thunder” to a cover of Lucinda Williams’ “I Envy The Wind” in English and Spanish (“Yo Envidio El Viento”) versions.
I had lost these reviews until tonight [5/31/99], so here are two cool and phat shows that i was there to review. The names of the 1st two bands have been lost to time, but the 3rd and 4th bands I know of. 1st band-This is decent sounding rock ,with definite influence from Ted Nugent. The bass sounds muddy, which is also the same problem with the vocals.This is a…
After thrilling audiences around the world with his intoxicating blend of pop, folk and new music inventions, acclaimed Japanese multi-instrumentalist Shugo Tokumaru brings Exit (Almost Gold) to shelves across the nation as his first proper release in the US.
This is a zine that I traded for off the zinesters livejournal, and I am just pretty impressed with the orderliness of this zine. Everything, including text and pictures, is based on the straight-line, decreasing the chaos of the magazine and providing one with an even easier read. While this zine is short, I still feel like that I am able to gain from it the briefest glimpses of who…
Totally Michael’s self-titled debut album will be coming out on IHEARTCOMIX (Matt & Kim, Acid Girls) on October 14. Totally Michael is a one-man dance party from Bloomington, Indiana who performs his electro-injected songs with just a microphone, iPod and an electric guitar. His music straddles the line between hyperkinetic punk and bouncy pop and he has been compared to Dan Deacon, Andrew W.K., Blink 182 and Atom and His…
Forever in Motion is a band that I was not familiar with before putting on “The Beautiful Unknownâ€. The first track, “Magicâ€, seems to add together equal parts radio rock and emo music. A piano blends together with a set of vocals that itself seems to be influenced by those coming out of bands like Hinder and Linkin Park. The band slowly adds bits and pieces to their overall sound…
“Rap-sung, girl-boy duets over danceable synth-pop, a fresh take on Luscious Jackson circa ‘In Search of Manny.’†New York Magazine “Big Guns is a most appealing debut that bodes well for what comes next†All Music Guide
Like a welcome draught from a bottomless well, in his latest outing with WOVENHAND, former 16 Horsepower frontman David Eugene Edwards sings ten untamed and mercy-drenched songs for thirsty listeners on TEN STONES. From the jarring folk of”White Knuckle Grip”, to the eerie bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars”, to the fiery foot-stomper “Not One Stone”, the album forms a song-cycle that is singular in…
Big Al`s Swing Kids Concert (April 9th 1999) This concert was held in the 1st Presbyterian Church in Lancaster, and it started at 8 o clock. This was a band that started out in Columbus Ohio and were inspired by many of the greats of swing. They had an awesome guitarist who sang as well. They had recently acquired a new drummer and a new keyboardist. They caught on pretty…
The third exciting season of the hit Fox TV series BONES continues on Wednesday, September 3rd as the darkly amusing procedural with humor, hear, and character, continues to follow Dr. Temperance Brennan, a highly skilled forensic anthropologist.
Street Pixie is a DIY/anarchist/nomad per-polit-zine. There are an incredible amount of pieces to feast upon in this issue for people of all stripes. There is poetry, prose, how-to pieces, art, and tons more. For one dollar, it really is a steal. The layout of the pieces is probably the only thing to be changed, as there seems to be various “lumps†of material that seem to drag the moment…
Hot on the heels of her critical and commercial smash debut album, Santogold is announcing her first headlining US tour, the Goldrush Tour presented by MySpace Music. Santogold, AKA Santi White, just finished a string of North American arena dates with Coldplay. She will be performing with a full live band and dj, which she recently debuted on MTV ‘s “F’NMTV Premieres”, in order to bring the album’s innovative genre-defying…
Abigail Williams start out their “Legend†EP with “From the Buried Heartâ€. During this opening track, there seems to be a blend of progressive metal with a brand of metal that looks back towards the eighties style of metal. However, instead of Abigail Williams merely attempting to revive a certain period in metal, their smartest move during this introductory track has to be the inclusion of a newer rock style.…
Jack’s Mannequin is set to release a second iTunes exclusive EP on September 9th titled In Valleys EP. In Valleys, released exclusively on iTunes, will feature two b-sides from The Glass Passenger recordings and two new tracks from The Glass Passenger as well.

Cool and Phat Concert on April 9th 1999 The night began with Dutch Uncle, a wondrous local band playing for an hour and a half, followed by a band from Kentucky, Chiaroscuro. Dutch Uncle. – To my count, they played 15 songs and they were on for 100 minutes. Their drummer was in Florida for spring break, and Jesse jumped in on the last few songs to play drums for…
