E.M.T. – EP (CD)

This is a disc I was given by a friend who is going out with a member of the band itself, and while there are some definitely interesting pieces to this CD, I would have to say that this is really derivative of other nu-metal bands including Linkin Park and Korn. I was told that there was a lot of shifting in the band, so I will have to see…

Emok – Shove Your Head into the Ground and Feed It to the Earth (CD)

Emok is a band that is hard to understand, as their music is so diverse and free of genre labels that words do not come easy. Velvet Underground, MC5 and The Stooges all come out as integral forces in creating Emok’s general sound, but a greater sense of instrumentation comes through at every section of “Shove Your Head…”. This instrumentation is most certainly a result of the more rich fabric…

Clues announce UK tour!

I am genuinely thrilled to announce that* CLUES* will be touring the UK this October just a few short months after the release of their wondrous self-titled debut record, an album full of secrets, smiles, snarls and sing-a-longs. Co-founders Alden Penner and Brendan Reed quietly nurtured this project in Montreal after the demise of their respective bands, *Unicorns* and *Les Angles Morts*. As a member of the wonderful but sadly…

Eminem – You Don’t Know (CD)

I’m not exactly sure if this will be categorized as an Eminem track or not, but Eminem is the major force behind this track. This track also features 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, and features Cashis. The track does not distinguish itself in any way early. The backing beat is understated, with the flow from each rapper not doing much to imprint the track in the heads of anyone listening in.…

D-Lo “Coppers” feat. Sleepy D

It’s a new joint from Oakland’s newest band of brothers, as current hitmaker D-Lo drops the track “Coppers” featuring his brother, Sleepy D. While D-Lo sticks to his recipe of insanely deep bass, handclaps, and that (now) recognizable high-pitched bark, he strays from the in-your-face-ness of “No Hoe,” utilizing synth rumbles to construct a melodic bass line. After being raised in deep Oakland and serving around a year in prison…

Emergency-Hey Psycho (CD)

2001.4 song demo. Very fast tempoed punk with a vocalist such as Anthony Kiedas from the Red Hot Chili Peppers or the lead vocalist from the Stranglers. The guitarist is amazingly skillful in his trade as the guitar solos just blow me away. The songs of Emergence are in the hurried style of so many of the great punk bands of the 1970’s. The recording on this album is fantastic,…

Psychic Ills announce North American tour with Butthole Surfers

Had you caught Psychic Ills on their West Coast tour with Indian Jewelry earlier this summer, you’d swear they were trying to skip clear off the celestial plane. Favoring longer pieces and employing their fair share of filter banks and enigmatic tribal percussive instruments, the band has firmly shaken the psych-rock comparisons to arrive at a sound all their own. This Fall they will be taking to the road again…

The Emergency – How Can You Move? (CD)

Coming out with an indie-rock album is a hard thing to do nowadays. While most bands out there go for the emo-rock route, picking the dead flesh off the body of Fugazi-era emo, The Emergency choose another path, instead taking cues from The Cars and Weezer. Not really datable or immediately able to be put into a genre, The Emergency’s music is a smart collection of poppy, jangly guitars and…
