The track runs a hair over five minutes, but Caron’s skill ensures that there are more than enough twists and turns present here to keep listeners focused on in.

The Innerspace EP is the latest release from In Orbit, and it contains five tracks from this Perth (Australia) band. Cure is a great introductory track for In Orbit, placing the band firmly in the NWOBHM style of Venom, Mercyful Fate, and early Twisted Sister. The band gets into a groove that would make Suicidal Tendencies and Anthrax proud; In Orbit is able to infuse these traditionally-styled cuts with something…
The tropic feel of this track is bolstered through a lively sound that is infectious enough to keep bouncing around listeners’ heads for months after the initial listen, allowing listeners to have a sunny disposition whenever the track pops up on their iTunes or mp3 player. The production is stellar, ensuring that the cut is ready for pop rotation. Everything is perfectly in place for the first half of the…
Craymo is a singer/songwriter that has attempted to create his own niche with his latest single, Love You More. The track is unique in the fact that it is tremendously personal – Craymo has commissioned the track for his long-time partner – while still resounding loudly to anyone that has ever felt love, whether it be for an individual or for a family.
Jared Wesley has just released the second release in his The Reinvention of “The Cool” title and has provided listeners wit a number of memorable cuts. Happy Belated is a track that links together intricate flows with a J Dilla meets Outkast-style production. The hard-nosed vocal style continues into Rippin N’ Rollin, a track that shows the Twista-fast vocals of Wesley.
Sarah is a soulful track that has an intelligent array of instruments and soulful singing that is in the vein of John Maher or Jason Mraz. Blue Light Bandits (BLB)’s vocals pull double duty in that they progress the narrative side of things while further bolstering the instrumental backdrop present during tracks like So Mine. The same sunny disposition first heard in Sarah and SO Mine is marked through the…
Traces is a soulful effort that focuses on Henriksson’s vocals, bolstering them through the inclusion of a folk-infused instrumentation. The instrumental arrangement that is built through this introductory track expands to create something intense and will resound loudly with listeners long after the title has ceased. Fly slows things down and imbues a more introspective and atmospheric sound to Henriksson’s vocals. The tender piano that plays at the bottom of…
I will preface this review with an admission: I know very little about kickboxing. I don’t know about any of the athletes; I know nothing about how it’s scored; and I have little interest in watching it. Despite all of that, Mark Miller’s memoir is utterly fascinating. His story is raw and emotional enough to touch anyone with even a little interest in human resilience.
Night Wing is a track that touches upon electronic music in a fashion that blends together equal amounts Kraftwerk, Can, Klaus Schulze and Herbie Hancock. The track contains a substantial narrative component that shines through in its instrumental state. The effort reaches out over a seven minute period, allowing Harlequins Enigma ample opportunity to showcase their skills in arrangement and musical ability.
Velocirapper is an intense bit of rock that is reminiscent of Sepultura, Deftones, and Papa Roach. There is a heaviness to this introductory composition that will keep listeners on the edges of their seats, while a melodic drop showcases the sheer talent of the band. Rock Bottom keeps the same high energy as it draws listeners into a blend of Suicidal Tendencies and Hatebreed. The confidence that is exuded by…
You thought your job today was hard? Imagine trying to write book about the highly influential, but notoriously litigious political punk band the Dead Kennedys – a group that seemingly thrives on trading insults at each other. That was the task faced by music journalist Alex Ogg and he managed to pull it off quite impressively with the absorbing Dead Kennedys: Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, The Early Years.
Saggy and wrinkled skin is an issue that is germane to males and females , and becomes more of an issue with each subsequent year.

She Keeps Me (Rockin’) is the second single from Canada’s Tommy Roumanas, and it presents listeners with some of the most intricate and intimate thoughts ever committed to tape. The track is raw and visceral, all while still having a very radio friendly approach. The production of the track allows the vocals, guitars, and drums equal opportunities to shine. Roumanas’ vocals builds off of the work of Buckcherry and Dexter…
13 Sins is a stellar film that utilizes the talents of Tom Bower (Die Hard 2, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Kid Cannabis), Rutina Wesley (True Blood) and Mark Webber (Happy Christmas).

This four-hour release is an intense character study that possesses a scintillating narrative and enough plot to keep viewers on the edges of their seat from onset to completion.
Spinning Mule Robust Porter is the latest special release from Texas’s Cedar Creek Brewing. We sampled a sixteen ounce can. The beer pours incredibly dark (brownish-black), which poured with a persistent mocha / tan head. Definitely coffee and chocolate elements to Spinning Mule, an inclusion which gives the beer (and the porter style) a much-needed kick; there is a nice effervescence to this effort that helps establish the “robust”…
Four of Hearts is an Eric Haywood (Nick of Time) title that stars Darrin Henson (Soul Food, Tekken, Stomp the Yard) and Nadine Ellis (Tropic Thunder, Reno 911!) as a couple that are currently weathering issues after being married for a year. Due to their busy lives, the romance that was present in the initial part of their relationship has disappeared for six months. After discussing these issues with friends…
Cavatica Stout is a dark and malty effort from Oregon’s Fort George Brewery, tipping the scales at 8.8% ABV. The beer pours a dark brown / black color with a tannish head that sticks around. The alcohol burn of the beer moderates a sweetness that pushes through at points.
