Gatsby’s American Dream – S/T (CD)

The disc starts off in an odd way with “You All Everybody”. 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…

GOMORAH POST VIDEO FOR “EXREMENT”

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…

WOLVHAMMER To Record New Full-Length With Sanford Parker In Spring 2010

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…

Gatsby’s American Dream – Ribbons & Sugar (CD)

I like this band because they do not feel content with rehashing the same general sound over and over. Each track is a tabula rasa, a fresh canvas, something new for them to write on. And unlike many of the bands who embrace a number of styles, Gatsby’s American Dream actually pulls them off. “A Manifesto of Tangible Wealth”, with an organ/keyboard not unlike that of “House of a Rising…

Fame (Blu-Ray)

Of course, anyone that would be picking up this movie knows that 2009’s Fame is based off of the 1980 original. For those that (for whatever reason) did not see the film, a set of performers are joined as they are admitted into the New York City High School of Performing Arts, and are seen to progress through the different years of schooling. A cast that includes real life performers…

Feldiken – Small Songs About Us (CD)

There is little present on the introductory track of “Small Songs About Us” besides vocals, guitars, and drums. However, there is a fullness to the sound that issues forth that sticks with listeners long after the track ends. There is a decidedly lo-fi feel to this first track that will be eagerly snapped up by fans of sixties rock, indie rock and even those that still have Simon & Garfunkel…

Gatsby’s American Dream – In The Land of Lost Monsters (CD)

A synthesizer is omnipresent during “Yes, This is About You”, and the nineties-influenced alternative rock of Gatsby’s American Dream is just merely a facet of the entire force of the band. The opening track mixes the Weezer-like rock that forms Gatsby’s American Dream’s base with pure cheese metal, and the second track, “A Conversation With The Devil” is influenced by doo-wop and fifties and sixties American rock. Nothing can possibly…

Linda Brooks – The Spaces In Between (CD)

“Stay” is an average track on “The Spaces In Between”, and it immediately treats listeners to a carefully-crafted and very emotional set of instrumental arrangements. In this track, everything has its place, and Brooks takes a slow and steady approach to the creative process. Hints of country, Broadway and classic female pop can all be heard here. “Smalltown” continues with the momentum given the disc by “Stay”, shining a spotlight…

Stellar Vector – A Flock of Cowards (CD)

“Buffalo Jump” is how many individuals will be introduced to Stellar Vector, and the band is able to take a very strong step forward with the song. The act bounces back and forth between hard rock (Static-X, Him, MSI) and an electronic approach to thinks. These two sides give Stellar Vector a unique sound that is further expounded upon with each subsequent track on “A Flock of Cowards”. “Lacking Self…

The Gathering – Home (CD)

Wait, did I just hear The Cardigans? Or is it The Cranberries? Oh wait, it’s The Gathering, a band with a lead vocalist that ties together those two styles with a little bit of Siouxsie Sioux to make something that is bizarre enough to be famous. The fact that nothing more than vocal warbling can be a bridge on a track like “Shortest Day” shows the ability of the band…

Genghis Tron – Cloak of Love (CD)

Genghis Tron – Cloak of Love / 2005 Crucial Blast / 5 Tracks / http://www.genghistron.com / http://www.crucialblast.net / Reviewed 25 March 2005 Genghis Tron is really what I thought Ed Gein should have sounded like, a bi-polar band cpable of descending into the abyss that is hardcore just as easily as they can surface with very emotive, almost atmospheric compositions. Tracks like “Rock Candy” are perfect examples of this, and…
