Castles in Spain – Again (CD)

Castles in Spain play a style of rock that often goes toward the goth side of things. This means that songs like “My Nerves” will remind listeners of acts like Siouxsie and the Banshees as well as early Sarah McLachlan and Natalie Merchant.

Casket Architects – Dance On The Death Nerve (CD)

I don’t know, for some reason I thought that Casket Architects were going to play a style of music that was not related to the hard rock meets punk blend that first assaults listeners during their opening track to “Dance on the Death Nerve”, “Turbine Vaccine”. Throwing in a shrill guitar line and a blend of elements from Bad Religion to Avenged Sevenfold to the Refused, Casket Architects are a…

Finale – “Heat” prod. by J Dilla

The successes of J Dilla have served as inspiration and driving motivation for all Detroit artists. For Finale, who himself received a personal Dilla co-sign early in his career, it’s only fitting that the emcee has a song on his album, A Pipe Dream And A Promise, produced by the late legend. That song is appropriately titled “Heat.” Speaking about creating the song and being able to work with Dilla,…

Johnny Cash – Here Was A Man: The Ultimate Gospel Collection (CD)

I must admit, by the time that I heard Johnny Cash, ey was doing the American (cover) series of albums. Much, if not all of the music on this disc is foreign to me. It doesn’t help the case that songs like “Ring of Fire” were covered better by Social Distortion than they were originally recorded by Cash, and that eir cover of “Hurt” could not hold a candle to…

NeuFutur.com Introduces Sierra Hurtt

Some people are born to make music. It’s just something in the blood. Where we hear wind, they hear strings. Where we hear a passing train, they hear rhythm – the beginning of a new song. Conversations yield lyrics and melodies are plucked out of thin air. And as it often goes when someone has the gift, it may seem too easy for them to take it seriously. It is…

Tekel ‘Acid Bonanga’ is the first release on their Tekelmusic label

After several EPs out of the blue and bearing cryptic titles such as “Smet”, “Créteil connexion” or “Sac d’os”, and a longtime supermarket top-shelf reference album, silence prevailed at Tekel studios: VU meters at -, depressed compressors, hypotensive synthesizers… One morning while licking the lid of his daily Fjord yogurt, Biboune (aka J. Briffaz) decided that enough was enough and the return of Mini Moog basses was in order! He…

Cartel – Chroma (CD)

With vocals like “One For The Kids”-era Yellowcard, Will’s vocals match well with the supersonic instrumentation laid down by Nic and Joseph (guitars), Kevin (drums) and Ryan (bass). Tracks mesh well with each other; there is nary even a breathe between “Say Anything” and “Honestly”. While there might not be the sizzling guitar solos and outright technical prowess of the technical emocore bands (those influenced by bands like Converge), the…
