The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of the most visible and well known attractions on Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio. The Hall of Fame is jam-packed with ephemera from the last century of popular music. While rock musicians are given the lion’s share of attention at the museum, there are antiques, costumes, instruments and a bevy of other items from gospel, rap, and EDM artists. What results…
Hello, Axixic. Your latest album is Dancing On The Moon. What significance does the title hold for you? It’s a metaphor that I carried around for years to describe two contradictory ideas: living in the moment -or- doing one thing when you really should be doing something else. When I came to Mexico to write and record the album it seemed to describe what I was doing so I decided…
Hello. Your latest EP is Silence is Golden. What significance does the title hold for you? For the majority of my life, I’ve been considered the “quiet one”. I only like to speak if I truly feel I have something to say and contribute to the conversation. For whatever reason, people sometimes hold that against me. The title of the album comes from the idea that my greatest achievements have…
Gianni Bredice has released Triptronic, an effort that is labyrinthine in terms of the twists and turns that Bredice has placed here. At any one second during the albums, listeners may find themselves up against eighties synth-pop, chillwave, techno, or harder Miami styles. Solar Storm is a perfect microcosm of the distinct approaches that Bredice takes on the 9 efforts on Triptronic, tying together a driving beat with more introspective…
Vocals are reminiscent of Tim McIlrath, with an overall heaviness that allows City Light Vigil the ability to hang well on alternative, rock, and college stations alike. The “everything to everyone” aspect of the band is executed well, with specific nods given to a wide variety of genres. This eclectic nature allows City Light Vigil the ability to connect with the largest amount of listeners.
What’s the story about Dandy John? I try to express himself in my very own way, politically not only interested in Swiss Banks, cheese, watches or mountains, but more in general global problems of society such as the ideal of beauty, war, food, ethics, loneliness, literature (I’ve studied English and German Literature – so be happy to find Goethe, Schiller, Shakespeare, Byron and so on in my work). I live…
Hello. Can you provide us a little information about yourself and what you are attempting to do with your music? Hello, i am Alex, one of the lead singers of Francbâtards. We are a reggae-ska music group from Montreal. We play different music styles and languages. We integrated world music, punk and hip-hop. We sing mainly in french and creole from the island of the Reunion , but we also…
Change the Song is a track that links together The Killers and Franz Ferdinand with a rich eighties style that is reminiscent of The Psychedelic Furs or Talking Heads. The rich production of this introductory track will immediately draw listeners in to the second cut, Shift. Shift is a track that has Vinyl Floor strip down their style to adopt a much more front-forward and Detroit rock-esque sound. The quicker…
French Toast Crunch is a cereal that first debuted in 1995 but the cereal was taken off of shelves in 2005. Fast-forward about 10 years and General Mills has heard enough public outcry to release the cereal yet again. The cereal is going to be rolled out at the national level first starting in January 2015 and will run around $3.50-5.00 for a box. The cereal is precisely like I…
There is a sense that tortilla chips are not the healthiest thing to snack upon and that one should have smaller portions when it comes to eating these chips. Beanfield’s has an entire line of chips that look to capture the tortilla flavor and mouth feel profiles and has a wide enough variety of flavors to keep snackers interested no matter how often they eat the chips. Beanfield’s chips are…
Amino supplementation is needed for anyone that is looking to maintain the gains that they have achieved while working out. Amino supplementation is necessary no matter the sorts of physical activity which one conducts. The good thing about amino acids is that they work particularly well mixed in a flavored suspension. The new GNC Puredge product, Complete Amino, is a perfect example of this as the tropical punch flavor makes…
Devout metal band DARKNESS DIVIDED have partnered with Decibel Magazine to release the latest video for ‘Eternal Thirst’, from their heralded debut album Written In Blood. The release from the San Antonio quartet pushed the experimental envelope and gave the world of heavy music a much needed stir, with a sound so vicious you’d think it was sent from a less-than-heavenly place.
The story of James Brown is tremendously interesting if one would choose to read a biography. However get on up is a compelling and always interesting film replete with talented actors no matter whether they are large forces in the Hollywood such as Dan Aykroyd or up and coming stars like Chadwick Boseman (42, Captain America: Civil War). Boseman’s role as Brown showcases all the glitz and glamour and the…
There was a special concert that catapulted a great many R&B and pop singers into the mainstream; that show was blah. However much the show was vital to the creation of some of the most well beloved musical stars of the last 50 years the sheer fact is that it is difficult if not virtually impossible to find copies of the performances that are presented on the show, a feat…
We had first heard about monthly subscription boxes that provide the required ingredients for a meal a few months ago but it was not until a few days ago when we received our first box from Blue Apron. This is a large box – one could easily use it to pack away stuff for a garage, and it is chock full with the different ingredients that two people will need…
Look At Me is the first track on Paul Maged’s latest album, Diamonds & Demons and will capture the attention of listeners through vocals that possess hints of Billy Bragg and Tim Armstrong. Maged’s main contribution to music is having a hard-nosed set of vocals that elicit comparisons to punk and the protest tradition while having absurdly catchy heavy rock arrangements. Taken together, these disparate units make for an album…
We just received a Razer keyboard in the mail and are very pleasantly surprised when we had a moment to sit down and really familiarize ourselves with it. The DeathStalker Expert keyboard has a number of functions available to it despite its value price (one should be able to find a DeathStalker Expert for around $70). The design quality of the Razer keyboard is such that individuals will be able…
The flow of Joey Fattz ties together Fat Joe and Royce Da 5’9 while having a certain warmth to his voice that resounds loudly through this DJ Statik Selektah, making this track primed and ready for rap rotation. A soulful sample comprised the meat of the backing beat, with a funky guitar line and horns that keep things dynamic and compelling. The lyrical intensity of Joey Fattz’ flow is something…
The overall emotiveness of the vocals here are what will keep listeners focused in from beginning to end. The instrumentation does a tremendous job in providing highlighting for these vocals in all of the right places, meaning that listeners are hooked before the track hits the half-minute mark. Shivers is a track that will work equally well in pop / crossover styles, emotive rock, and EDM approaches – the dense…
It comes as no shock to anyone who has been paying attention to politics, that the rich – from both parties – control our elections and own the politicians once they get in office.
