St. Louis rockers Story of the Year have unleashed a hard-hitting new song, “To the Burial,” today in anticipation of their upcoming US tour with The Devil Wears Prada and All That Remains. Listen to “To the Burial” here: www.myspace.com/storyoftheyear From the opening echoes of singer Dan Marsala to the huge metal riffs and a soaring solo from dual guitarists Ryan Philips and Phil Sneed and snarling bass of Adam…
Fielding’s first track on this disc, “The Giant†is so sad. It is not sad in a pitiful way, but rather in its beauty and the extreme care that Fielding puts forth into making this track a work of near-perfection. The incredibly emotional vocals put forth by Eric work well with the plodding bass lines laid down by Aaron and the jangly guitars, to the degree that tracks like “Lampshade

Starting up with an extremely emotive bass line laid down by Saskia, Feverdream’s EP of previously unreleased tracks start off with a middle-of-the-group tempo and typical arrangements. The start-stop feel of the first track, America shows a band that is cohesive, if not a little bland. The style of music that Feverdream plays is nothing out of the ordinary, in pretty much the same vein as practically everything that is…
Matt Epp is a troubadour in the purest sense. He lives on the road and crafts his songs from his experiences, from Mexico to Newfoundland and everywhere in between. His new album ‘Safe or Free’ is a testament to that lifestyle influenced by the geography of his travels and the relationships he develops along the way. Co-Produced with John Paul Peters (Waking Eyes, Comeback Kid) and recorded at Private Ear…

Jimme Coccaro has been busting his bananas as the sole proprietor in Oceanside New York’s acoustic pop outfit Sunday Night Scene.

After tackling his first headlining national tour this summer, Florida’s very own Chamberlain Records soon came knocking and inked a record deal.…
The band plays a brand of rock music but it goes further than that when a synthesizer becomes present through the majority of “Redheadâ€. The unity of these two disparate styles distinguish The Fever from other bands in the Kemado stable. The talent that the band has in creating “In The City of Sleep†unites The Fever with the rest of the Kemado bands. There are more than just plain…

“Won’t Be Long†is a track that stands between two different worlds. At some point, Ferraby Lionheart is a current artist and receptive to current developments in music. At some pother point, there are over fifty years of influences that are bringing Lionheart to the style of music that ey creates. The production level is not at the highest it could be, but it is not necessary to bee. The…

I hear a lot of speed immediately from From A Second Story Window, but I hear nothing that joins together all the disparate sections of their band. The disc’s first full track comes in “Soft Green Fieldsâ€, and the production of the band at this juncture seems to be pushing the vocals to a level that is too high for the rest of the band. For example, the guitar work…

Recently relocated from Denver, Colorado to Nashville, Tennessee ACROSS TUNDRAS have realized a long-evolving sound that merges elements of doom and drone with psychedelic rock, folk and traditional Americana.

The vocals that are first heard during “Song For Ireland†are of a type that most individuals are not familiar with. There are two aspects to these vocals; first, that they act in an instrumental way most of the track, and they hearken back to a much earlier tradition in music. When I hear these vocals, I hear something that is akin to the medieval type of music that is…
