The Gemz – Blue is For Girls / 2006 StreetBeat / 13 Tracks / http://www.gemz.com / http://www.streetbeatrecords.com / Reviewed 24 July 2006 I’m still not sure exactly why this album was sent over for review. Sure, I can say that I tolerate acts like Hilary Duff, but the vast majority of individuals in that pop genre are just not very impressive. This includes Paris Hilton, Brooke Hogan, and Ashlee Simpson;…

The style of music that Geisha Girls start their album with is something that looks back to the first days of punk rock for influence. Of course, the band adds much more to their sound than being a copy of The Dead Boys, but one can hear 1977 in hints of tracks like “Traced Linesâ€. The shrill guitar work present on that track is a perfect example, and shows the…
Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey have announced Winter 2010 tour plans. The band will head out for a 12-date West Coast run in February marking the hard touring quartet’s first shows since selling out The Eclipse on New Year’s Eve in their hometown of Tulsa. In March, JFJO makes a return trip to Europe for ten dates spanning eight countries, including their second appearance at the prestigious Turku Jazz Festival in…
2009 was unquestionably a benchmark year for YOKO ONO. At 76 years young, the seemingly tireless innovator continues to evolve and break new ground, living life at the cutting edge of her imagination. She ascended to the top of the Billboard Dance/Club Play Charts once again with her fiery remix single “I’M NOT GETTING ENOUGH†(Issue Date: 6/13/2009) — her third consecutive chart-topper. The propulsive anthem marked the tenth release…

He draws inspiration from beyond the veil, seeking connections and cosmic patters in the hopes of expressing the simplest but most profound message to…

Specifically, it covers about a decade of Guevara’s life, from eir first meeting with Fidel Castro in 1955 until eir death in October of 1967. The Criterion Collection beautifully captures the two parts of this Soderbergh-directed and Del Toro-starred film, while adding an additional disc and booklet…
Very few people that have not “made it big†decide to create a 2-disc set. Well, Tom Gavornik is not big yet (a google search only brings up 2,350 hits), but “Acceleration†is a 2-disc set. The music that ey plays on tracks like “Requiem For A Broken Swing†is a little bit of Americana and a whole lot of jazz music. What results is something like a toothless Frank…
King Khan might rightfully be accused of attempting to earn the title of hardest working performer in show business. Following a year that saw the release of three albums and several tours of the US, Europe, and beyond with multiple musical outlets, Khan is bringing the celebrated psychedelic soul big band explosion King Khan and The Shrines back to North America. The three week run of dates, which starts in…

Recently featured on the cover of the UK’s celebrated Rock Sound Magazine, Twin Atlantic will showcase songs from their debut mini-album Vivarium from coast to coast, including a stop at SXSW. Twin Atlantic have shared stages with Smashing Pumpkins, Circa Survive and…
First off, the tracks on “Volcano†are all very short, with a disc that is only 33 minutes long. However, the reliance on clichéd guitar lines (even in terms of in-track repetition) and half-baked tracks make this disc suffer in much the same way as “In The Land of Lost Monstersâ€. There are some moments on this disc that do inspire listeners, such as the drum-beat on “A Mind of…
ATP recently announced four Thee Silver Mount Zion Orchestra shows in the UK and now we are able to announce an entire UK tour. This is the first time that they have done a large UK tour since 2007 and it falls in line with the release of their sixth studio album Kollaps Tradixionales.

Musician Trouble Andrew returns to his snowboarding roots with a historic concert at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, performing his signature brand of “electro sk8/crunk rock” at a 12,000-capacity outdoor venue. The two-time Olympian and Burton-sponsored pro snowboarder (aka Trevor Andrew) will play songs from his 2009 10-song debut CD Trouble Andrew, as well as new material from his forthcoming second full-length CD.

The ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL featuring KORN and ROB ZOMBIE will kick off Saturday, July 10 in San Bernardino, CA and will roll through 24 cities in the U.S. and Canada between early July and late August (a full itinerary will be announced in the coming weeks). Mayhem presale tickets go on sale April 2 and tickets go on sale to the general public on April 16th at LiveNation.com.…
The disc starts off in an odd way with “You All Everybodyâ€. There are different timer signatures in play in the early stages for Gatsby’s American Dream, even though they settle down and create something that blends in equal parts early nineties rock and a more current conception of emo music. The band has grabbed onto the same dance-emo aspirations as bands like Fall Out Boy and to a lesser…
The underground’s masters of sonic violence, GOMORAH have posted a video for the song “Exrement,” off of their MetalHit.com debut By The Means Of Violence online at http://www.vimeo.com/4766246 . The video, filmed by acclaimed director Scott Hansen (Bury Your Dead, We Were Gentlemen) is a four-minute display of visual brutality which perfectly captures the song’s bludgeoning essence. The band had this to say about the video, “Shooting a music video…
Formed in the coldest north of Minneapolis in April of 2009, the four wielders of the Wolvhammer were drawn together by both a shared love of Celtic Frost, EyeHateGod, Motorhead, and Bathory, and a shared disdain for the corrupt, decaying capitalist society that confronted them each day. Drummer H. R. recalls, “We wanted to take the things we loved about old school black metal/post-punk/hardcore/doom/rock and infuse that into something truly…
