Gerina – S/T / 2006 Aim High / 14 Tracks / http://www.gerinamusic.com / Reviewed 31 August 2006 Hey, I guessed that Gerina would sound like the other singers on the market, probably a lot like Pink and Kelly Clarkson. I was right, as “Blind†mixes the two singers with the same middle of the road adult contemporary rock that is played throughout all cubicles in the United States. There are…

Noah Georgeson – Find Shelter / 2006 Plain / 12 Tracks / http://www.myspace.com/findshelter / http://www.plainrecordings.com / Reviewed 15 April 2007 The opening to “Find Shelter†is a track that feels almost as if Georgeson copped the music from a early sixties cowboy movie. In a sense, there are hints of Ennio Morricone tied to “The Sound of Musicâ€, which creates something that is brooding yet hopeful all at the same…

Perhaps no song or artist better portrayed the effects of a grass roots, organic rise into the public’s consciousness in 2009 better than the Bay Area’s very own D-Lo and his remarkably infectious “No Hoe.” Continuing to bully its way into the new year, the official single has been followed by a bevy of remixes, including tracks featuring Snoop Dogg, Too $hort, and more. Among the bonanza was a remix…
George Lesiw Band – Anuta Was Here / 2003 Self / 9 Tracks / http://www.georgelesiwband.com / glesiw@earthlink.net/ Reviewed 13 February 2006 This is music that is made specifically for elevators. Now, I’m not saying that to be flippant or in any way untoward with George Lesiw, but the music is near the same style that one would hear in elevators all around the United States. Chalk that up to the…

Genghis Tron – Dead Mountain Mouth / 2006 Crucial Blast / 10 Tracks / http://www.genghistron.com / http://www.crucialblast.net / Reviewed 05 June 2006 To say that Genghis Tron is intense is to give them the short end of the stick.

When Tim Cohen told Shayde Sartin he was writing a song called “Be My Hooker,” the Fresh & Onlys bassist looked at the singer/guitarist and said… “‘There’s no way we’re gonna have a song with that title, dude,’” explains Sartin. “But sure enough, he laid a riff down and I was like, ‘Jesus Christ, I can’t believe you pulled something meaningful out of such a stupid line.’” Welcome to the…
Gorbel has come full circle this year, stepping out from behind the Honorary Title name and recording two remarkable new discs.
