Masked Intruder – M.I.

Fresh out of the clink, pop punk’s saving grace are finally back with a new record. The Masked Intruder, who turned in one of the genre’s most satisfying records in years with their 2012 debut, has managed to top that effort with M.I. A baker’s dozen of three-minute sing-alongs that are tighter than a set of police-issued handcuffs wrapped around your wrists.

AUG Be Careful What You Wish For CD

The titular track on Be Careful What You Wish For is an energetic metal track that ties together Lemmy, Ozzy, David Lee Roth, and Axl Rose into something that is contemporary while perfecting the art of an earlier period. This same frenetic style continues into Little Green Fairy. While the band is firmly settled into the hard rock / hair metal format, I feel that there is a thrash (Suicidal…

The Lost Poets Insubordia CD Review

Ode To K is a darkly emotional track that blends hints of Godsmack, Corrosion of Conformity, and Soundgarden. The resulting track is heavy, intense, and gains momentum until listeners are being blown away by the band’s output. There is a tender side to the vocals that shine through at points, providing an additional laer of complexity to an already dense arrangement.

Tablums Review

        The multi-media function that Tablums provide individuals wishing to commemorate a special event is simply unparalleled. The company ties together traditional and contemporary photo technologies in their one of a kind melding of a photo album and a digital rendition of photographs. There are a wide variety of sizes that are available, while the company prides itself on being able to create Tablums in any size…

Stephen Farrell Self-titled CD Review

For You (My Love for You) is a heartfelt and touching composition that succeeds on little more than a guitar and Farrell’s vocals. When he drums kick in, what tissues forth from listeners’ speakers is something greater than the sum of its constituent parts.

Andrea Remondini Non Sequitur CD Review

The story that Remondini tells on his forty-five minute composition, Non Sequitur, exceeds that told on the entirety of a lyric-heavy effort. The changes in styles from funk to synth-pop and classical styles may all occur in the space of five minutes, but Remondini links together these disparate styles in a compelling and sensible format. The segues that are present here are organic and fit in well with the story…

Juliette Jules Black Crow EP Review

Johnny Was is a track that touches upon the work of Alanis Morrisette and Fiona Apple, while showcasing Jules’ more mature, Stevie Nicks moments. The track comes forth with a very pop-friendly sound, but contains considerable emotional intensity – listeners will be able to pull something from their experience that parallels what Jules sings about during this song.

Ed Roman Letters From High Latitudes CD Review

I Told You So has a tremendously emotive style to it that set the stage for the rest of Letters From High Latitudes, with the intricate arrangements present here blending organic and industrial elements. Coming My Way begins with a strummed guitar; when the vocals kick in, listeners are treated to a very cozy and inviting track.

Dark Model S/T CD Review

Dance of Wrath is a track that introduces listeners to the wide and varied styles that Dark Model create on their self-titled release. Fate comes forth with a blend of dubstep, glitch, and the more classical elements that were originally heard on the onset. Dark Model’s early success comes in the create of a cogent and coherent narrative from the beginning to end.

Unity Vibration Tasting Room Visit

The close-knit area in which Unity Vibration operates yields some amazing beers, and we were lucky enough to stop by during their hours to see where the magic goes down while drinking some of the most innovative beers that we have tasted. For those that suffer with celiac syndrome or have chosen a similarly-restrictive diet, Unity Vibration’s gluten-free efforts will be much appreciated. A large amount of black plastic containers…

Hitler and the Nazis DVD Review

Hitler and the Nazis is an incredibly detailed look into the rise of power of Adolf Hitler, and it does so in a fashion that provides viewers with the full story. Rather than focusing on the beer hall putsch or World War II, Hitler and the Nazis goes from the beginning until the end.

Doug Briney Super Country Cowboy CD Review

Super Country Cowboy is a cool and confident track that works well in melding together country music from the eighties, nineties, and today. The production of tracks on Briney’s latest makes it easy for listeners to immediately fall in love with the disc.

Nick Deutsch Crazy Ride EP Review

Individuals listening to Nick Deutsch’s EP Crazy Ride will happen upon Run, a track that links together The Rocket Summer and hints of Say Anything and Owl City. Run is a track that could easily make it onto pop rotation, as Deutsch’s emotive vocals will capture listeners’ hearts while the solid production allows his inimitable vocals to hang with the biggies in the field. Green Light is a track that…

One of These Days is your latest album. Describe it in a few sentences. This is my latest and greatest record yet!  I started writing for this album in the summer of 2011, recorded in 2012 and released in 2013.  It’s an empowering album with a message of hope, understanding, joy and love.  It’ll make you smile at times, reflect on life, and give you a sense of strength no…

Broadchurch Season 1 DVD Review

This is your opportunity to see this stellar British TV drama, originally aired here on BBC America, before it gets bastardized and watered-down with predictable clichés for U.S. audience with an American remake. This original focuses on a British coastal town where an 11-year-old boy is found murdered on the beach.
