EOS Hefeweizen

EOS Hefeweizen pours with a gold coloration and a thick head that settles slowly. The EOS Hefeweizen is the perfect spring beer, with a refreshing taste that expands upon a lager style with inviting hints of cloves, bananas, and hints of vanilla. Spiced notes occur at the periphery, giving the beer the complexity and legs that it needs to stay fun from beginning to end. The sweetness works well moderating…

Coldstream Naturals Product Review

A number of companies have jumped on the anti-GMO (genetically modified organism) trains as of late. The logic behind these products is solid – there has not been enough in the way of research done to show that GMO-based products are safe. There have been studies that have shown greater incidences of cancer among rats for those that have been fed GMO products, but the methodology utilized but a number…

Ray Donovan: The First Season DVD

If the first-time series Ray Donovan had premiered on the oft-buzzed about HBO or even AMC, it likely would have gotten a lot more attention. Instead, this Showtime drama starring Live Schreiber and John Voight (in his best role in decades), remains one of the best new shows flying under the radar.

Namasté Yoga CD Review

Kiran Murti begins Namasté Yoga with a timeless sort of composition that provides listeners with an authentic feeling; by the end of the track, listeners will be able to tackle the nearly ten-minute Guru Charanam by Sacred Earth. The track has an atmospheric feel that approximates the winds and cold chill that a late-Spring outdoor gathering would have. The momentum ebbs and flows in a fashion that ensures that listeners…

36? where do we go from here? CD Review

There is a very intricate and dense tack taken during Soul Searching by the Calgary alt-rock band 36?. The track has a tremendous vocal harmony that is further highlighted through the turbulent and tempestuous arrangement. The act is able to further establish their own unique styling with Beauty/Strong, a trip-hop inspired track in the vein of Massive Attack or early-oughts Bjork. There is a warmth to this composition that keeps…

Best Not Broken Falling In EP Review

I Won’t Stop Loving You showcases Best Not Broken’s confident approach to rock, touching upon hints of Green Day and the Goo Goo Dolls. The drums, guitars, and vocals push each other to greater heights as the track comfortably settles down. Breaking My Heart is a mash-up of Weezer and Interpol; Best Not Broken keeps the momentum high with a sentiment that will be understandable if you have ever loved…

New Belgium Gruit

Gruit is an eclectic effort that New Belgium has produced for their Lips of Faith series; the beer pours with a golden color and along-lasting, thick white head. The beer has a peppery and lemony flavor that provides imbibers with a different set of tastes with each subsequent sip. Gruit concludes with a slight hop bite and hints of malt. While the IBU level (3) is incredibly low, the inclusion…

Villainettes Feature

Australia’s Villainettes have all spent time in previous bands, providing them with ample opportunity to hone their sound – what results is nothing less than amazing. The act is able to provide new luster to the rock style with intelligent arrangements, catchy compositions, and a sense of depth that simply is unable to be found in current music. The interplay between the guitars, drums, and bass lines during a Villainettes…

Adult World DVD Review

The indie drama Adult World certainly has its share of faults: one-dimensional characters, a phoned in performance from its one marque star (John Cusack) and a whiny, self-entitled main character that’s has you almost rooting for her failure. But somehow, despite all of these obstacles, director Scott Coffey still manages to turn in a film that is charming and oddly satisfying despite – or thanks – to its quirks.

VolcaNO Force Factor Review

VolcaNO is one of the newest Force Factor products, and supplementation with the product will provide individuals with the energy that they need to complete their workout, avoid much of the DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) that typically occur the next day after a particularly vigorous workout, and to build and keep on muscle mass. VolcaNO increases the amount of nitric oxide in a body through the inclusion of L-Citrulline,…

Tan A Summer to Remember CD Review

Heat Wave is a tremendously hopeful pop-punk song that is replete with sizzling guitars and emotive lyrics. Tan is carefree music in the vein of Metro Station or Sum 41. The production of tracks on A Summer to Remember is tremendously lush, making it easy for these tracks to make it onto pop rotation. If I Could I Would is an effort firmly ensconced in the pop tradition; Tan’s vocals…

Nettie Rose People I Know CD Review

Ride Ride Ride is a straight-forward retelling of early country. Rose’s vocals are gritty with a tinge of sweetness; taken alongside the guitars and percussion, they make for a track that will stick with listeners long after the track ceases.

Matchstickmen Acoustic Grooves to Soothe the Soul EP Review

Few artists are able to do the acoustic-only release to the same effect as Nirvana and other acts took to MTV’s Unplugged twenty years ago. England’s Matchstickmen are able to imbue their own unique style and a radio-friendly demeanor into each track on their latest release. Jealous Times hangs perfectly with the Counting Crows and Blues Traveler, while Dark Blues is darkly emotional and simultaneously touches upon the seventies and…

Dog Society In The Shade CD Review

Heal Me Friend is the first track on In The Shade from the resurrected Dog Society, and it showcases a band that is able to delve deeply into the works of Goo Goo Dolls, Stabbing Westward, and Stone Temple Pilots while still cultivating their own unique style. Listeners are immediately thrown into the fray.

The Charlestons – ? LP (CD)

First off, this disc was the one which the EP took its content from, so it would be much more informative if one would find a copy of my review of turn it up till your mommys screamin’ and your sisters dancin’ EP. Specifically, there are six songs that will be focused on in this review : “The Jerk”, “Don’t Like You”, “Voodoo Me”, “Michelle”, “Catch My Drift”, and “Duane…
