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…

Despite their clandestine and controversial beginnings (two band members were teachers and two were students at the same high school), The Subjects have managed to carve a name for themselves that sounds more like “Rushmore” than “School of Rock.” Back in 2002, guitarist Joe Smith and bassist/vocalist Dave Sheinkopf were splitting their time between writing songs and syllabi, while drummer/vocalist Matt Iwanusa and guitarist Jimmy Carbonetti were about to bust…

I know that The Eels have been around for quite a few years, but the only song that I can place to them would have to be off their Electro-Shock Blues album, “Last Stop: This Town”. Lets just say that this album has nothing to do with this track, as the music captured on tracks like “Theme From Blinking Lights” and “From Which I Came” look more to different eras…

EeL has an intense opening to their “People People†album that mixes amphetamine with vocal samples to come out with something that sounds like a better Dance Dance Revolution song. Immediately shown as a problem is that EeL uses a mite too much repetition to get their songs home; “EeL START IT UP!’s†3:09 should have been condensed to make for a more effecting song. “People People†is a retooling…

Phosphorescent is now honored to unite with Mr. Nelson one more time at the legendary Farm Aid…
Threading through their music with a dreamy soundscape of guitars, EE creates an introspective style of indie rock that really makes one think. This album, originally released in 2000, has been clamored for since the second that the original run on Curry Records sold out. The plodding nature of the songs on Ramadan, exemplified by the title track, creates this sixties-style of California flavoring felt throughout the entire disc. Opening…
One would think that after wrapping up a hefty Summer-long trek on the full Vans Warped Tour, Central Florida’s favorite sons, THERE FOR TOMORROW would just want to return home and decompress for a while.
