15 songs on Nuclear Blast America in 1993. Being from Nuclear Blast, you would expect death metal. Dischange is metal, but with a killer hardcore/punk thing going on. They have the slow guitars of metal, the speedy drums of punk, and half-mushy vocals and short songs. Another great moshing band and they are also a 4 piece band. Some of the songs are very political in nature, but it is…
Austin Music Award-winning troubadour Bob Schneider returns to the road and takes to the skies on his upcoming fan-titled tour “Songs Sung & Played On The Guitar With People In The Room Tour†beginning November 1 at the Rhythm Room in Phoenix with special guest AM. Bob has recorded a live solo acoustic album named after the tour for his legion of dedicated fans available online and for download. Also…
Soulja Boy – Soulja Girl (Feat. I15) / 2007 TVT / 2 Tracks / “Soulja Girl†is the latest track by (you guessed it) Soulja Boy. In an attempt to further get the name of I-15 out to the masses, they are featured on the track. This track is a slower, more grind-worthy track. Hints of Jodeci and K-Ci and Jojo are present during this track, even as the more…
Mayday Parade’s debut video for the single “When I get Home, You’re so Dead” was recently shot in Los Angeles with director Marco De La Torre. Photos from the video shoot can be pulled here: http://eastwest.ilgpress.com/maydayparade/media/ and additional photos can be found on the band’s MySpace www.myspace.com/maydayparade
1995, on their own label. They can be emailed at StevenDFB@aol.com or called at (614) 341 7423. This tape is a 3 song demo, and the band may have a full album out by now. When i got this tape, I thought a band with the name “Dead Flower Bloom” would definitely be a death rock band. This is a very diverse band, with bits of Korn-Sound, 80’s rock, Indy…
Los Angeles based Jupiter Rising have achieved yet another goal, merely four weeks after the release of their new CD Electropop, on Chime Entertainment. Within one week of being featured on the MySpace home page, Jupiter RisingÂ’s plays have doubled to over 500,000 spins, making them the #1 band in the MySpace Pop Indie category and the #2 overall Indie band in all genres. That coupled with Jupiter RisingÂ’s scheduled…

Megadeth – Warchest / 2007 Capitol / 66 Tracks / http://www.megadeth.com / http://www.capitolrecords.com / Megadeth is one of the bands that I first learned about when I got into metal. In fact, one of the CDs that has stuck with me for over a decade (the only other one is Marilyn Manson’s “Antichrist Superstarâ€) is Megadeth’s “Rust in Peaceâ€. It makes sense that Megadeth should get a box set since…
This is a 2 cd set (1 Studio/1 Live) with a 40 Song set list. This is amazing punk from the late 70s and early 80s that successfully blended real Oi!, Gothic, and Noise, to make an amazing album. This is great pissed off/piss drunk punk that you can go wild to. If more pop punk bands would take Crass’es example, then punk music wouldn’t be full of the shitheads…
Montreal based 3 Mile Scream have streamed the group’s debut album, A Prelude To Our Demise, at the following location http://www.altsounds.com/altsounds/bands/3793/playallhi.php
Junk Science – Gran’dad’s Nerve Tonic / 2007 Embedded / 13 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/junksciencerap / http://www.nukfam.com / “Slojo†is the first track on Junk Science’s latest album, and the blend of seventies instrumentation with a current type of flow makes for a strong foot forward. The rap styles that are showcased during this CD are points and strong, and are only moderated by a second set of vocals which end…
Farewell will premiere their first video, “First One On the Blog,†off of their Epitaph debut Isn’t This Supposed to be Fun!? via Myspace Video on October 10th. Directed by the Endeavor Media Group (Bayside, Silverstein, Comeback Kid), the video perfectly showcases both the band’s high energy brand of powerpop and rollicking sense of fun, as we follow Marshall, Wil and the rest of the guys to school one day.
This is a 9 song album on Mayhem/Fierce Records ,and it was released in 1997. The 1st song, “humana” inspired to nightmare is instrumental. Cradle of Filth is a 6 piece band, and is black metal. Primeval screaming goes along well with very melodic guitars and a driving 300 mph drum beat. The guitarist can play some awesome solos. Cradle of Filth is so good that they can go from…
The past year has been filled to the gills with memorable performances for melodic rockers the Plain White T’s! This month will be no exception. On October 11th, the organization behind the Grammy Awards, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, will be honoring legendary rockers Cheap Trick in Chicago. The Plain White T’s will be performing two songs by their fellow Windy City rockers at the gala event.…
I15 – Lost in Love / 2007 Interscope / 4 Tracks / http://www.i15music.com / I15 is another type of R&B / boy band that is done much in the vein of a B2K. “Lost in Love†is typical radio fare, but the act is really able to hook fans with a catchy chorus and multiple-vocal harmonies. This single features the “Radioâ€, “Albumâ€, “Instrumentalâ€, and “A cappella†version of the track.…
Explosive, Oakland, CA quartet SAVIOURS will release a 12†EP next month in anticipation of its forthcoming sophomore full-length and Kemado Records debut, Into Abaddon.

Produced by Joe…
This tape is on Noise/Futurist records, and it was originally released in 1988. The lead singer sounds like Dave Mustaine (Megadeth) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) mixed together. The guitar riffs sound like the Air Guitar riffs from the Bill and Ted movies. The beginning of the tape is kinda boring, but the tape starts sounding a lot better during the middle. This was a great find at NRM in the…
On an album brimming with instant, artful pop classics, this one-time studio duo turned living, breathing modern rock sextet has vaulted beyond the electronic banner under which it once uncomfortably resided. Now WEST INDIAN GIRL is complete, boasting the line-up of Robert James (vocals/guitar), Francis Ten (bass), Mariqueen Maandig (vocals/percussion), Mark Lewis (drums/backing vocals), Nathan Van Hala (keyboard) and Amy White (keyboard/backing vocals) for the release of their second album…
