Evolve plays a very atmospheric brand of music that takes quite a few minutes to fully appreciate. “August Moon†is the first track on the disc, and before the beat goes into something approximating “From Your Mouthâ€-era God Lives Underwater, little can be felt about the band. Slow, Evolve finally comes into a storytelling type of music when the instrumentation settles down. No vocals are needed during the opening of…

Fireball Ministry is one of those bands that get into your head without any warning and then simply blow your mind away. This American rock’n’roll quartet doesn’t need flashy gimmicks or fancy stage presence to make an impression. Their music says it all – a tasty blend of traditional hard rock and Sabbath-influenced metal, spiced with hints of stoner and doom metal, takes the listener on a journey across the…
“Finn Riggins sure knows how to rep its hometown. The trio, which hails from podunk Hailey, Idaho (population 7, er, 7,844), says just as much in the instantly catchy “Wake (Keep This Town Alive),†the first single from new joint Vs. Wilderness. It’s an uptempo, swirling affirmation of life, complete with “wah ah ah ooh ooh†harmonies, galloping drums, and a plea to never forget your roots. The entire Tender…

The Everyothers play a style of rock that is not immediately reconcilable to the rest of the rock bands out on the market. For example, during “Too Farâ€, there is a definite psychedelic influence that makes itself known but the bulk of the track is a blend of the B-52s and The Offspring. This interesting blend makes for something that is new and fresh for the music scene, something that…
With two albums released, headlining dates and a tour supporting Coldplay – 2009 has been the busiest year of Pete Yorn’s career. He hits the road this fall for a second leg of headlining dates kicking off Oct. 19 in Lawrence, KS. Of a recent LA performance the LA Times said Pete has an “undeniable knack for catchy pop-rock tunes†and The Oregonian described Pete’s songwriting as “brilliant†and his…

Strangely, most of those bands are pretty…

The band starts off their self-titled disc with “Meat Marketâ€, a track that is interesting to me as it seems as if the band is holding back some of the energy and fury that should be present. What results is a track that has a very current type of indie allure but is based heavily on the rock of the sixties. Hints of “That Thing You Do is present throughout…
Internationally renowned band, Green Day has commissioned 21 original pieces of art inspired by music from the band’s most recent album release, 21st Century Breakdown. The paintings will be shown exclusively at the StolenSpace Gallery in Shoreditch, East London, from 23rd of October until 1st of November to coincide with Green Day’s sold out UK concert tour and opening the day before the band’s two sold-out performances at the O2…

From the liner, this mini cd was created “using two guitars, two tape recorders, our voices, found objects and the environmental sounds that surrounded usâ€. The lyrics are truly created on the spot, so don’t be shocked if a song (like “in the cityâ€) just consists of whatever the songwriter sees. The recording leaves something to be desired, but the two individuals that created this CD intentionally recorded like this,…
Coming off a solid summer of touring behind the release of their Virgin Records debut album HOW TO CALL A BLUFF, pop-rock foursome MY FAVORITE HIGHWAY is living up to its own name, enthusiastically taking the scenic route around the country again, by joining “The Cheap Date Tour,” with coast-to-coast shows set for late October through early December (full schedule below). My Favorite Highway joins an ace collection of emerging…
Fly Gypsy is back at it with their newest track, “Block Rockin’ (Remix),” off of their latest project, The Vodka & Rum Mixtape. The MC/producer duo blend a wide variety of genres and lyricists to create an infectiously head nodding track, incorporating a sample from big beat legends, The Chemical Brothers, a verse from Lauryn Hill, taken from her track “Lost Ones,” and a verse from Busta Rhymes, taken from…
For BLACK GOLD, the past year has been quite a busy one. In addition to releasing RUSH–hailed by SPIN as “breathlessly experimental” with “sweeping orchestral rock†and also praised by People, URB.COM, MetroMix, Big Shot and more–the duo made high-profile appearances at All Points West and SXSW. They also toured throughout the U.S. and shared the stage with the likes of Scissor Sisters, The Hold Steady, Panic at the Disco…
While different styles dominate during the first track of “Naked on the Black Floorâ€, most notably electronic-metal in the vein of Fear Factory and the nu-metal push of bands like Disturbed, what comes forth much more clearly on the disc is a more classic style that taps bands like Queensryche. The blend of styles is essentially what Event Horizon is; where “Everything that begins must end†begins the disc and…
