Electroluvs – Bubblewrapped (CD)

I guess that I shouldn’t be surprised in any way when “Bubblewrapped” starts out with a lot of electronic influence. The band’s first track on “Bubblewrapped” is “First Rush”, and it blends together acts like HelloGoodbye, Lords of Acid, and The Rapture into something that has a current sound even as “Pretty Hate Machine”-era Nine Inch Nails sneaks in and out during the track. The band is very diverse, and…

Electric Six – Dance Commander (CD)

Well, here’s yet another shot of the band that was claimed to be the savior of schlock-rock, tying together both city-mates The White Stripes and perennial shit-pile Andrew W.K. Containing the “Radio Edit” of Dance Commander, Electric Six also include a much less energized (and more palatable) unreleased track in “I Am Detroit”. Sounding more like a mix between mid-seventies Kiss and David Bowie, “I Am Detroit” suffers much less…

Electric Frankenstein –Burn Bright, Burn Fast (CD)

Electric Frankenstein has been around since 1991, and this album (Burn Bright, Burn Fast) really is an intense assault on the average listener’s senses that really showcases a band that is completely comfortable with their sound. Loud guitars mix with rough-hewn vocals (by Steve) to create an always raucous type of rock-driven punk. The metal-influenced guitar lines that are so commonplace on “Burn Bright, Burn Fast” really wear down the…

SUBARACHNOID SPACE To Kick Off US Tour

Playing a form of lysergic and almost entirely instrumental rock that draws its DNA from the sounds of classic Krautrock, prog, long-form improvisation and metallic heaviness, SUBARACHNOID SPACE has attracted a fervent and dedicated following over the past decade around albums on established independent labels such as Relapse Records and Strange Attractors Audio House. They’ve delivered their ominous, ethereal riffage, soaring fx-laden guitars and pulsating rhythmic propulsion on the road…

The 11th Hour-Demo (CD)

Another hardcore band, this time from the other coast-California instead of Boston. 11th hour consists of 4 people playing at breakneck speed. This band is influenced more toward the metal end of the spectrum. The screaming vocals are the perfect match for the noisy drums, performed respectively by Albert Goad and Doug Hopkins. The guitars, played by Ian Cross and Brendon Shipley, are amazingly melodic for this type of band.…

Elefant – The Black Magic Show (CD)

At first blush, I was not aware that this was a Kemado release. With the last few Kemado albums, a harder sound than what is heard on “The Black Magic Show” has been present. However, after the track has a little time to work on a listener, they will too understand the reasoning behind Kemado releasing this album. Elefant blend together a number of diverse style, with hints of Blue…
