The Carlsonics – Self-Titled (CD)

Seeming more like the shoe-gazing indie rock of the early nineties than the Detroit acts of the seventies that many rock and roll magazines have been want to compare them to, The Carlsonics nonetheless rock. Whether it be the utterly chaotic guitar solo of a song like “Ice People” or the look back to the British invasion of punk in “I Dig the Bushwack”, The Carlsonics can make the lo-f…

The Cocktail Revisionists – This Is My Happy Face (CD)

The style of music that The Cocktail Revisionists play is something that is pulled from a different time in alternative music, and songs on “This Is My Happy Face” are those that would have been all over the radio in the early days of the nineties. The style of vocals laid down on this disc by Leslie is something that is in locked-step with other artists like Susanne Vega and…

Captain Bringdown and the Buzz Killers – Feel Good Tunes (CD)

The opening of “Feel Good Tunes” really confuses listeners into first thinking that the band is harder than the rest of the fare would indicate, and then immediately inculcates them into a set of truly “Feel Good Tunes”, beginning with “Psshhh…Like I’m Handcuffed”. The “pick it up” that was heard much much too often back in the late nineties is used to some minor success on this track; the band’s…

Capture the Flag – Start From Scratch (CD)

I had to stop myself and actually ignore the fact that Capture the Flag was on Go Kart Records. Even with a relatively embarrassing promo sheet that dropped tons of names of bands that had absolutely no ties aurally to CtF (like Bad Religion, Dag Nasty, Descendents), Capture the Flag still makes a very good fusion of post-hardcore and pop-punk. Heavily drawing from some of the better metal from the…

Capricorns – Ruder Forms Survive (CD)

I guess I do not understand the theme behind titling the songs in the way they do on “Ruder Forms Survive”. Each of the seven tracks has a date and then a title; I understand some of the dates’ significances, but am not sure about all of them (1946 instead of 1945)? However, the tracks all have a lot to do with each other, and these ties are made even…

Straight from the title track of Trevor Alguire’s latest album, Thirty Year Run, which is being released in the U.S. after a late 2008 release in Alguire’s home of Canada, that line signifies a deeper meaning to this stunning collection of stories. “It’s about my Grandpa’s run from the 50’s through…
