Spin Magazine: “20 Best Songs of 2008: Violent Sensation Descends. In 1966, this alternately ominous and sparkly nugget would’ve been the No. 50 British single of the year, after the Creation’s ‘Making Time.’ It’s that good.”
In the same vein as some of the other recent signs to Victory Records, Bayside play a very Weezer-influenced style of rock that draws definite parallels to fellow label-mates Taking Back Sunday and Capitol Records’ own Yellowcard. Anthony’s vocals on “Sirens and Condolences†are extremely clear and reminiscent to Blake Schwarzenbach’s, and the guitars are extremely anti-septic throughout the same period. Drawing more inspiration from bands like Warrant and Poison…
This new digital awareness has brought about plenty of lackluster artists asking for handouts before securing a fan base on their own.

The rough sound placed out by Baxter House is not really linked to any other specific genre of music; its raucous sound reminds one of Apocalipstick, especially when one considers the very atonal and loud singing of Rachel’s vocals. A track like “Fat Gross Cowboy†has guitars that are linked to the middle nineties, back to a time when bands like L7 were popular. The fuzz on the track is…

For awhile there it looked like U2 were finally back on track. Starting in 2000, when the band atoned for their past sins and, in Bono’s words “Reapplied for the job… of the best band in the world†with the fantastic All That You Can’t Leave Behind, followed by 2004’s almost as stellar How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, the Irish stadium rockers had nearly made up for past experimental…

Again, leave it to Tompkins Square to find a work done by a forgotten guitar hero from the sixties and catapult it back into social and popular significance. This time, “Venus in Cancer†is being re-released; this 1969 album shows Basho’s technique just as much as it shows eir mind and soul. While vocals could be placed on tracks like this, the result would be to paint over a Leonardo…

Jamie Barnes plays a brand of folk-rock that is similar to that created at regular intervals by Devendra Banhart. However, Jamie takes more than a little hint from sixties-rock (America, Neil Young) and this is why “Honey From The Ribcage†far out-strips much of the earlier-influenced folk rock of the current period. The bouncy sound of “Pearly Gate and Son Pest Control†shows a little more of that sixties-influence, and…
