ENTER SHIKARI are announcing a Spring Tour to carry some of their adrenaline-drenched shows to North America. “We’re really looking forward to getting back into more intimate venues and once again meeting the people who’ve given us great support in over in the U.S.,” says vocalist Rou Reynolds of the upcoming 30-date tour in support of their latest album The Mindsweep which was released early 2015 (tour dates below). Hands…
The Duplass Brothers have turned in some of the most impressive dark indie comedies of the past decade (The Skelton Twins, Safety Not Guaranteed), but it wasn’t a given that their thoughtful, subtle humor would translate to TV. Turns out it does. With Togetherness, the writer/director/producer/actor sibling team has turned in a remarkably fresh half-hour comedy for Generation X and beyond.
Robert Rodriguez has made a career out of gory, DIY movie fun, taking B-Grade camera tricks and actors and creating hard-to-look-away stories. He’s managed to do the same thing on TV with the adaption of his From Dusk Till Dawn movie. In the second season, the morally-questionable bank robbing brothers Seth and Richie have split up, but are each still dealing with vampires south of the border.
Ryan Shupe ‘s We Rode On is a tremendously hopeful effort that showcases the power of the American spirit with a rich set of vocals and a catchy vocal style that ties together Maroon 5 and Walk the Moon. The Sun Will Shine Again has an intense instrumental opening that gives ground to allow Shupe to marvel with his vocal output. The production of this track is amazing, as the…
A modern form of indie-pop that looks back to the electronic styles of the mid-eighties for influence, while still having enough chops to make for a musically interesting style during the EP’s first effort, Strangers. The challenging time signatures present during Taylor will have listeners sitting on the edges of their seats, while the raw power of Lionheart’s vocals link together artists as disparate as La Roux and Taylor Swift.
Come Down is the latest single from Water District, possessing an emotive sound and fuzzy guitars that unite to make a wall that washes over listeners. Tremendously interesting guitar lines and rich vocals are present in spades, giving the track a sound that would work as well in 1993 as it does in 2016. Water District make an effort that tie together equal parts emotive rock, punk, and alternative/indie rock.…
Kate Brown’s Bring Me Down Dixie is a tremendously affecting track that shows the sheer vocal range of this inimitable performer. The rich instrumentation of this single provides highlighting for Brown’s vocals in all of the right position, with a production that allows the timeless vocals, splashy drums and wistful strings to create something greater than their constituent parts. The narrative quality of Brown on Bring Me Down Dixie will…
Today, we are speaking with Florida’s Russell Foisy. Can you give us a little background information about yourself? How has your style evolved and changed over the time since you first started playing? Hi James, thank you for the opportunity. I am a singer songwriter from Tarpon Springs, Florida, about 30 minutes from Tampa Florida. I had a dream and a goal to create my own cd of original lyrics…
The Haze Dual V3 Vaporizer is an intelligent device that allows individuals to key in exactly what temperature they would like their plant material, e-liquids or concentrates to be processed. The intuitiveness of this vaporizer is such that one should be able to open it straight from the box, briefly familiarize themselves with the various functions that are available to users, and then begin making use of the Haze Dual…
One of the most difficult tasks that a parent has to do with a young child has to be the aspiration of their nose. The child or infant does not have the ability to go and blow their nose so a parent has to go and use one of many different sorts of devices to manually extricate material from the nose. The aspirator that we received from the Baby Comfy…
There is a tendency for breweries to come forth and create winter warmers or other spiced beers in the last quarter of the year to capitalize on the holiday season. As a result the shelves get stocked with a variety of beers that are roughly the same, meaning that they will be very strongly spiced, malt heavy and full of dark fruit flavors. Pike Brewing (Seattle, WA) has decided to…
New Holland has just released a Vanilla Chai variant of their popular Dragon’s Milk Reserve, pouring with a dark brown to black coloration. There is little if anything in the way of head, while the initial nose of the Dragon’s Milk Reserve Vanilla Chai is a little bit sweet and links together sugar with the titular elements. When one is able to take the first sip from the effort, what they will…
We received a set of products from Bumkins that are licensed and showcase characters from Dr. Seuss books. One of these items that we received is a wet bag which is incredibly versatile when it comes to including with the never-ending list of supplies that one brings each time they ferry their children from point A to B. This means that breastfeeding implements can be placed inside of it such…
The Guinness World Records book has long been required reading for anybody that wishes to familiarize themselves with the extremes in a wide variety of events, environments and life generally. I remember when I was a kid where I would just flip through the book finding exactly the limits of human and animal alike. At some point in the recent past the Guinness Book of World Records had changed formats…
The Acres O’Green Irish Red by Colorado’s Lone Tree Brewing is an archetypal version of an Irish Red Ale, meaning that individuals will be immediately hit with a fair amount of malt taste with a little bit of sweetness at the end of each quaff. The beer pours with a delicious mahogany coloration and a fair amount of off white to tannish head with a slight amount of lacing occurring…
There are quite literally hundreds of different headphones that are on the market. When one goes and limits this list to just audiophile brands and offerings one will still have to wade through page after page of listings for all the different products that are currently on the market. The price range for these headphones ranges from anywhere around $100 all the way out to well over $1,000. It’s hard…
Brazos Valley Brewing’s (Brenham, Texas) milk stout Big Spoon is deceptively complex; the tendency for milk or sweet stouts to largely hit on one note and repeat that flavor ad nauseum over the course of the beer is great. Rather, as one continues to drink Big Spoon additional tastes play in the periphery. What is initially a sweet chocolate and lightly toasted malt affair changes when one starts to discern…
Sesame Street: Elmo’s Wonders, released earlier this month, is a collection of a variety of activities that will get your toddler or young child up and active with one of their favorite child’s creations, Elmo. The DVD has a number of different activities that will keep things fresh for those frazzled parents that have to watch the DVD on repeat for months. This means that there is Elmo Says, Red…
In the era when anyone can create a podcast about any subject no matter how esoteric or narrow it might be, having s set up that provides clarity and crispness to their vocals is absolutely essential. So many podcasts that we have subscribed to at NeuFutur to are sunk by the fact that they use an iPhone or other cheap recording device for their show. For the most clear and…
Jenny Bruce will immediately touch listeners with her own inimitable vocal style. Little more is needed during Complicated Hearts than Bruce and her guitar, the combination of which makes for a varied and deep introduction to her Firefly in a Jar EP. The titular track to his EP has an intimate and contemplative touch that is highlighted to the richness of Bruce’s guitar arrangements. The unification of these two elements…
