Galliano Sommavilla Feature

Many artists would claim that it was a productive year if they were able to complete an album. 12 to 15 songs was about two weeks’ worth of work for Melbourne’s Galliano Sommaville, who took on the massive mission of creating one song a day over the course of a year. Sommaville was experienced in the traditional approach to releasing an album, cutting his debut effort “Rain in my Bathtub”…

SNAFU Present Day Plague CD Review

Subhuman Scum provides listeners with a narrative through which Detroit’s SNAFU will forcibly drag listeners. Slayer, Toxic Holocaust, and Suicidal Tendencies can all be discerned in the band’s Her Dark Past. SNAFU is able to kick things into high gear with intense, Anthrax-influenced riffs and an appreciation for NWOBHM, thrash, and hints of crust punk.

Juice in the Box

There is a large amount of extra trash that is created every time one purchases a box of juice cartons. One pays for the convenience, as the cost of the juice per ounce is much greater in single-serve packages than it is in a half-gallon or larger size. For those that are concerned with their environmental footprint or just want to save cash through the year, Precidio Design has created…

Sven Sundberg Intimacy CD Review

Seasons Change is a track that is able to tie together world music, classical, and R&B into something emotive and rich. This track is able to be tender and strong, telling more of a story with instrumentation that artists can do with lyrics and a full band. Sundberg is able to add further depth to this composition by utilizing vocals in a musical fashion; the interaction between these different elements…

The Sweetwater Hillbillies On The Road CD Review

“Backwater Slap Jar Soul Sauce” is a lively track that sets the stage for what is to follow from the all-star act The Sweetwater Hillbilles on their On Their Road, establishing a high standard that is continued in the album’s second track, “Baton Rouge”. “Baton Rouge” is an impeccably-mastered track that benefits greatly through the multi-part vocal harmony and a rotating cast of instrumental contributions. While the track may only…

The fidelity of the Kicker Tabor Bluetooth Wireless Headphones ensure that one is provided with an accurate representation of any music which they may be listening. The treble and impressive vocal range of opera and vocal music allows every trill, rise, and fall to be reproduced well, while more complex instrumental arrangements are able to be heard as the act intended.

Barrel Aged Asylum Infused w/ Coffee Bean (Left Coast Brewing Company)

Asylum is Left Coast’s Belgian Triple, and the brewery has barrel-aged this beer and infused the effort with coffee beans. What results here is a very complex effort that will provide imbibers with a different constellation of flavors with each subsequent sip. The coffee flavors are front and center here, but this is a more moderate, sweeter brew (light roast). When coupled with the notes from the barrel-aging, there is…

Petrus Oud Bruin

Petrus Oud Bruin pours with a dark brown to ruby red color and a good amount of light tan head. The overall nose of the Oud Bruin will provide individuals with a slightly oaky and lightly tart nose, before yielding to an initial sip that has a small amount of tart, wheat, and black cherry, dark fruit, and malt all present.

Solvey S/T CD Review

Jessica Zambri -known in musical circles by her band name, Solvey- is a woman with “otherworldly” sensibilities. The first track, “Solvey” from her latest record of the same name starts off in a “dreamy” yet accessible sound that hints at the more haunting, meditative songs which follow. Zambri’s unique, almost subconscious-sounding-voice falls somewhere between a more enigmatic version of Sara Mclachlan and Miki Berenyi, the singer of a great nineties…

Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que (North Olmsted, OH)

Famous Dave’s is a chain that has locations through the United States. We were lucky enough to be invited to their North Olmsted, Ohio location. We were immediately greeted and taken to our seats. The server was able to get in our drink and appetizer order. A few minutes later, we experienced the Barbecue Nachos ($6.99), which at the small size was more than enough to sate three or four…

Rank Strangers – Ringtones

Minneapolis has one of the most consistently brilliant, yet somehow overlooked music scenes out there. From Prince and Morris Day to The Replacements and Soul Asylum, this Midwest musical hub too often gets glossed over when people start ticking off the list of great U.S. scenes. Rank Strangers are just further proof that the City of Lakes can still pull its weight musically.

Petrus Aged Pale

The Petrus Aged Pale pours with a crystal-clear coloration and a decent amount of frothy, white head. The initial nose of Petrus Aged Pale is equal amounts tart and sweet with spicy and wheaty elements poking through at points. There is an intensity to the tartness that will immediately hit imbibers the second they sip the Aged Pale which dissipates as immediately as it began. Lemon and grain provide the…

Bitten: the Complete Second Season DVD Set

It would be easy to dismiss Bitten as yet another cable series piggybacking off of the True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Teen Wolf formula. Much like those other shows, it is populated by impossibly pretty small town folk who just happen, in the case of Bitten, to be Werewolves.
