Perfect music for the Clearchannel new-rock radio and Mtv, Earshot mix Maynard’s voice with the guitar assault of bands like Disturbed and Linkin Park. Each track on “Two†has been perfectly mastered to give the sound of the disc an anti-septic feeling that rings hollow to anyone but those teenagers who are pissed because mommy and daddy took away their freshly-bought Hot Topic choker. Each track is cut from the…

The Early November start out their side of the split with a demo version of “Outsideâ€, a track that does have a certain amount of grittiness to it that is not enough to muffle the Weezer-like sounds that issue from the band during the track. There seems to be a certain meandering quality to this track that makes the track feel a little more repetitive and episodic that perhaps it…

Jokers Of The Scene’s recent remixes for the likes of Mika, Acid Girls and Burns have been making waves in forward-thinking DJ sets and blog charts alike. But it’s their original tune “Baggy Bottom Boys” that has become a signature anthem – an enormous dance track that’s as moody as it is ecstatic. It’s a perfect introduction to JOTS, whose sound continues to mutate from straight-up club bangers into a…

Esthero now is much different than ey was back in 1998, when I was lucky enough to see the “Heaven Sent†video. It looks like there was a decent period in Esthero’s career where ey was deep in the shadows – the album that had “Heaven Sent†on it came out in 1998, and Esthero didn’t come out with anything new until 2004. It may just be the case that…

For me, I always got DeBarge and Gloria Estefan mixed up. I guess it was the general genre in which they played their music, but this 2-CD set goes far in showing why the acts were two distinct and different pieces of music history. I personally had no idea that Estefan had three decades worth of work in the music industry, or that eir collected output would be enough to…
