Sonos Tour Through January

Sonos combine a rich, classically choral sensibility with their ultra-modern repertoire, “mostly in the folk/indie genre — Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal” adapted beautifully to their style, Radiohead’s “Everything In Its Right Place” is haunting, and Imogen Heap’s “Come Here Boy” as entrancing as a lullaby.” – Washington Post “Prepare to be stunned.” – The Guardian (UK) “A majestic album that will live a long, long time.” – SonicBoomers.com “The…

OBITUARY To Unleash Live Xecution – Party.San 2008 DVD

Beginning their career as Xecutioner in 1984, OBITUARY remains one of the most influential and groundbreaking bands in the death metal genre they inadvertently helped forge. Hailing from the sunny state of Florida, the band’s decidedly un-sunny take on metal integrated devastatingly slow, lead-footed riffing with obliterating overtures and guttural screams; the adrenaline of a speedball with the slow, degrading measures of a sewer at dusk. It was a sound…

SOUNDS FAMILYRE RECORDS RELEASING ORTOLAN DEBUT FULL-LENGTH TIME ON A STRING ON MARCH 9, 2010

A hot minivan barreling down the highway, filled to the brim with siblings, sleeping bags, and travel checkers sets—this is the setting for a decades-old American tradition upheld by millions: arguing over the radio dial until consensus is happily found at that hallowed institution, the oldies station.

Tom Fuller – Back Again (CD)

Singles are always the hardest thing to review, and it was with great trepidation that I actually put this disc into the player. Immediately noticeable is the fact that the masterful hand of Rick Chudacoff (Allison Kraus) has made this track into something that is something easily accessible regardless of musical outbringing. The track starts out with a country-twinge, but really moves into a sort of classic (but contemporary) rock…
