Bling Kong – Do The Awesome (CD)

Hey, it’s like the B-52s lost about fifteen years and were thrown together as Bling Kong. The same eclectic instrumental sound mixes with a quirky male set of vocals and deepish female vocals. The only thing that one can possibly distinguish the two bands from each other has to to be the stronger instrumentation that Bling Kong has. The disc’s first track “I Want More” benefits from a strong bass…

Vinny Blessed – Music Train (CD)

An example of poor graphic design hits purchasers of this album right after they unwrap this album. The black text on lighter black backdrop means that individuals will not be able to see who produces the track unless they get about two inches away from the disc. This problem is lessened when individuals put the disc into the player, as the production is really clean for a smaller-market rapper. The…

Bleeding Kansas – Dead Under Décor (CD)

From “Can’t Help You There”, which cribs the guitar line from a seventies song (which is on the tip of my tongue but can’t come forth any farther), Bleeding Kansas shows that a return the basics should be a welcome thing. Most of the tracks on “Dead Under Décor” do not follow that ethos, and as such Bleeding Kansas’ music does not move beyond the new style of hardcore that…

The Bleeding Alarm – Beauty in Destruction (CD)

“This Girl Has A Gun” is the first song (not counting introductions) on The Bleeding Alarm’s “Beauty in Destruction”. The band comes to this track in an interesting way; the band vacillates between a harder rock style and the much more emotive rock style that ultimately takes the day by the end of the track. The band starts out their album in strong fashion, but there seems to be something…
