So, I have one other Mexican rap act to compare to N.S.B.. El Angel Mexaton does not start that strongly, as “25 To Life†is a track that has a flow that feels like El Angel Mexaton is chewing on eir words. Don’t get me wrong, the flow makes sense with the backing beat that was chosen for the track, but there feels like there is a little too much…
B-List actresses be warned and flattered because FELT is back! Slug (Atmosphere) and Murs (Living Legends) reunite for their third release from moniker FELT. These MCs teamed up with The Grouch (Living Legends) in 2002 to release FELT’s debut album A Tribute to Christina Ricci. Collaborating with producer Ant (Atmosphere) in 2005 resulted in their second coming, A Tribute to Lisa Bonet. With the fresh addition of Aesop Rock (Def…
“We Are All Strays†is a tremendous six-minute plus track that may seem daunting to those more familiar with mainstream music, but one needs to stick with the track. The band is able to subtly change their sound throughout the track, with the grandiose atmosphere created by the track ebbing and flowing in a natural way. “Stinngybadly†is a unification of Sonic Youth, The Smiths, The Cure, and even “Cherub…
Christian music has always been a part of my post-youth life. I was first introduced to the music of the Newsboys back in about 2000, and ever since then, I’ve been attempting to find the best and brightest in the genre. Alexandra Celano’s 2009 release “I’m Overcome†came to us just a few days ago, and I have to say that it may just be the best Christian album of…

Next, the St. Albans, England heavyweights–renowned worldwide for their incendiary live experience mixing arena-rock showmanship and punk theatrics–will continue their worldwide domination with an October headlining trek with The Devil Wears Prada,…
Even though a few of the kids from this band have played one of my concerts, and they’ve had tracks up on their website since I first learned about them months ago, I’ve not gotten the pleasure to just sit down and give ’87 Celebrity the attention that they deserve. The mastering is a little rough, with the drums on “Bad Luck†sounding almost as if they were intended to…
Static-X will take the Metal Down Under on an Australian trek in support of chart topping album CULT OF STATIC. Static-X announced TERMINAL as the third release off their critically acclaimed and most flammable work to date, CULT OF STATIC, on Reprise Records. This third release comes on the coattails of their first hit single STINGWRAY and second hit Z-28, while the album CULT OF STATIC charted Billboards Top 200…
For some – a living legend of heavy metal, for others – a long forgotten relic of the past. Either way, there’s no doubt that Anvil left a visible mark in the history of heavy music. Their legacy reaches all the way back to the 80’s, when the group celebrated their biggest triumphs. Although Anvil’s popularity eventually expired, the band remained true to their passion and against all the odds,…

“Karma Kingdom†starts off slowly, but when a track like “Ask ?’s†happens, one will start to see some of the enrgy that Eibol brings to the mic. The track is not just someone rapping, but really couching all the harmony of the track in an incredibly hooky flow. The inclusion of a saxophone during the track provides a nice vocal-sounding retort to Eibol’s distinctive style. The major thing that…
The Inner Banks is married couple Caroline Schutz and David Gould and their eclectic group of collaborators.

Listeners will be confused if they necessarily expect “Electro-shock Blues†from this album. This is something that is much more scaled back and intimate than that album, a move that benefits all the songs on this disc. For the performance, the band recasts each of the songs that have made them famous; this is essentially a remix album done without a turntable or a copy of Cakewalk. “Bus Stop Boxer 
Gallows, the punk rock outfit from the U.K., may not be the first band you would predict to hit the gossip rags but that’s exactly where they ended up. When Harry Potter’s own Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) arrived in disguise to watch Gallows perform at the U.K.’s Reading Festival this past week, the band snapped a picture which ended up on People magazine’s website of…
I have had my website up for over a decade, and I have had to look at a number of different web hosting companies over the course of that time. I’ve personally settled down at this point with Godaddy, but there are so many other firms out there that it would not be bad to take a look at a fairly regular basis. With a number of web hosting site…
