S.J. Tucker Stolen Season Review

Black Swan Blues is a sultry track that works from a bluesy, soulful backdrop that is pushed into high gear with a call and response chorus. Sultry Summer Night looks back into the era of Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, spinning their style into a bold new space with a piano line right out of mid-20th century Harlem.

Kait Dunton Releases trioKAIT 7/31

trioKAIT is a piano trio for a random-access generation. On their self-titled debut, (available on July 31), the funky and eclectic Los Angeles-based trio – pianist Kait Dunton, electric bassist Cooper Appelt, and drummer Jake Reed – shuffles wide-ranging influences and Dunton’s unconventional compositions into a refreshingly modern take on instrumental music that is as uncategorizable as it is infectious.

Summer Pils (Saranac)

Saranac’s Summer Pils is a refreshing effort that will be appreciated by fans of traditional American lagers as well as those that want to have a hoppier effort. The beer pours with a straw yellow and has a little wheat on its nose. The overall taste of Summer Pils is dry, slightly hoppy, and possesses a number of hay, grain, and wheat elements. Taken together, the beer is something that…

Jean “Geno” Sylvain / Genetics By Geno

Genetics By Geno is a bit of a misnomer; the work that Geno has done to improve his body to one of the best in the world is largely due to his own sheer drive and determination. The information that he provides in his gym and online will similarly benefit anyone that is looking to cut down weight, build up strength, and be as healthy as humanely possible.

MrE Prodigal Son Returns EP

The Prodigal Son Returns EP is a five-song collection that provides listeners with a brief introduction into the inimitable style of Bronx’s own MrE. The two tracks – Prodigal Son and Prodigal Progenies – comprise the efforts on this EP. Unlike a number of different singles, the different iterations of each of the tracks represent different takes on a theme, rather than songs that have been tweaked slightly. This means…

Royal Holland Volume Two: Flamingo CD Review

The Grave is a powerful introduction to Cincinnati’s Royal Holland’s latest effort, Volume Two: Flamingo. There are hints of Radiohead, Bright Eyes, and even the dust-swept singer-songwriters of era past. What results with this introductory salvo is something that is immersive, compelling, and will have listeners sitting on the edges of their seats until the titular track on Flamingo begins. The funkier sound of Flamingo showcases a duality to Royal…

Mission Belt in Steel

The Mission Belt is the best belt that I have ever worn. The leather that the company uses is very thick and an actual piece of leather rather than being bonded together with strips. There is a unique sort of fastener that the Mission Belt company includes with their offerings that allows one to ratchet the belt to the proper tightness without having to use one of two ill-fitting holes.…

Monster iSport Freedom Wireless Bluetooth On-Ear headphones

There is a certain richness to the sound created by the Monster iSport Freedom Bluetooth Wireless headphones that put them head and shoulders above other similar wireless headphones and headsets that are on the market. The noise-isolation technology works perfectly with both ways – the outside music and ambient noise is wholly blocked out to ensure that users will only hear their audio, while the iSport Freedom blocks the music…

Mz Rockastella – M.I.B. (featuring Pettikash)

Mz Rockastella comes forth on her latest single M.I.B. with a rapid rap style in the vein of Nicki Minaj; there is enough in the way of twists and turns that are presented during this track to keep a high momentum. The production of M.I.B. links together trap and mid-2000s Atlanta rap to make something that straddles the line between rap radio and deep and dirty gangster fare. The different…

Feenix Dimora Mouse Pad

There are a wide variety of different mouse pads that are currently on the market but a great many of these mouse pads are not done with any sort of rigid quality control or other concern for the ergonomics of those that are using it. The Feenix Dimora mouse pad is the first that we have received that does not try to be cute or otherwise design things in a…

Chain and the Gang @ Ace of Cups, Columbus, OH 05/22/15

Tonight I got to witness Ian Svenonius at Ace of Cups in Columbus, OH doing again what that man was always meant to do and that’s to entertain. I don’t want to end up sounding like I’m biased but goddamn can that man put on a show! He has been doing this since ’88 with Nation of Ulysses, which was one of the bands that made that bridge between punk…

IPA (Caldera Brewing)

Caldera has created an IPA that pours with a brownish-orange and possesses a nose that does not provide much of an indication where the beer will ultimately take imbibers. The initial sip will fill in some of these gaps, with light amount of floral notes and a bold hop element. There is a smaller amount of sweetness that can be discerned towards the end of each sip. As Caldera’s IPA…

Allyson Murrell Inspiration CD Review

All That You’ve Got is a track on Allyson Murrell’s Inspiration that could work equally well in pop and dance stations; there is a crispness to the track’s arrangements that would make it an easy sell for radio rotation. The unity of the electronic instrumentation and the organic, vibrant vocals make for a track that will resound loudly in listeners’ ears long after the track has ceased.

Grounders animate “Secret Friend” in new video

“Secret Friend,” the opening track on Grounders’ debut self-titled LP, is a nostalgic and vibrant pop song with a psychedelic glisten. So it’s only fitting that its music video, animated by band member Daniel Busheikin, is equally colorful and kaleidoscopic.  The visuals were digitally rotoscoped – an antiquated animation technique that involves tracing and painting over live-action footage, frame-by-frame. The music video captures familiar movements and moments through thousands of…

BACtrack Vio Review

27There is really no way besides simply calculating based on one’s way the level of intoxication that they currently are at after a few drinks. The math is arcane and one has a variety of mitigating and exacerbating factors that could modify this BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) level from what the calculations would indicate.
