Starting out with a honky-tonk meets the Talking Heads-type of sound, Shortstack push alt-country to the side for a more old-school style of popular country. The wide-open guitars of “Jealous Man” break out of the compressed mastering that the disc finds itself. The first exciting happening in the CD occurs during the walking bass line of the second track, “Plenty Time For Sleepin’”. Comparable to the highest plateaus of Uncle…
American Nudist is one of the few films that we have viewed that have provided information about the naturalist subculture in a fair and balanced way. By ensuring that there is more to the story than simple nudism, American Nudist is able to properly keep viewers focused in for the entirety of the flick. The film perfectly blends the mundane and the absurd, moving from a somewhat humdrum existence for…
Since today’s the first day of 2012, what could be better than a “New You by NeuFutur Contest?” We have bundled up over $100 in workout supplements and want to give this box away to one of our readers. To enter, simply comment this (or any) of our Facebook statuses from today until January 15th. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NeuFutur-Magazine-httpwwwneufuturcom/143031119041619 to enter!
Pre-workouts are one of the most essential types of supplements that one can use. However, what goes into a pre workout varies greatly based on the company releasing the product, so a large amount of care needs to be taken before buying one. The latest pre-workout that we have received is Prolab’s Quick Fire, and we are happy to say that it provided us with the energy and sustained power…
Shook Ones really come out of left field for bands that are on Revelation; this snotty style of straight-forward punk rock is done with the utmost care, with more than a little hint of Rancid to be found during the 7-inch’s opening track “Slaughter of the Insole”. There is also a more than healthy helping of Fat Mike’s vocals that make it onto the track, which makes for a track…
A second year of In:motion, a second season of road-blocked parties, tens of thousands of smiling faces and a host of amazingly good times and memorable moments for all those that were part of it. Bristol’s revamped Motion skate park has lent itself not just as club but a stage and theatre of entertainment, hosting the best in electronic music and live production. There has been a feast of highlights…
The time is now. Dynamic crossover killers BIRTH A.D. will enter Pyramid Sound on January 3rd to record the highly anticipated full-length follow up to their critically acclaimed Stillbirth of a Nation EP. Titled I Blame You, the album will be engineered and produced by Alex Perialas (SOD, Testament, Overkill, Carnivore, Nuclear Assault). “We chose Alex not only because he presided over many releases that allowed Birth A.D. to exist,”…
Beginning tomorrow, DIKEMBE (Gainesville, FL) will team up with good friends You Blew It (Topshelf Records) for a two-week Winter tour of the East Coast. Affectionately titled “Fulfill The Prophecy,” the trek will find both bands playing shows as far north as Boston and Providence with the likes of Dads, The World Is A Beautiful Place and Cattle Drums. For details and other information, see below or click here. Dikembe…
Rising Swedish DJ, remixer, and producer Avicii and At Night Management announced today the official dates for their one million dollar House For Hunger January 2012 Tour. The tour which boasts 26 high-performance shows packed into 27 days is set to kick-off on Thursday, January 5th in Detroit, Michigan and will make stop in cities throughout the U.S. where fans have yet to see Avicii perform. On the heels of…
It’s a miracle that Ozzy Osbourne is still alive. And yes, I realize exactly how much of a cliché that statement is, but it deserves to be repeated. And often. This guy did cereal bowls of cocaine for decades; was so blotto that he bit the head of a live dove (and bat) and was not aware of what he was doing; heard voices telling him to strangle his wife;…
There are a tremendous amount of different protein bars that are on the market, and all of them seem to cater to different groups. The Pro Drive Sports Bar is one of the few that we have reviewed that will help all athletes and those interested in dieting equally. For those that want to ensure lean muscle growth, the Pro Drive Sports Bar provides a solid amount of protein (16…
Graveborn is the latest installment in the Premium Deck Series by Wizards of the Coast, after the stellar Slivers and Fire and Lightning sets that were releases the last two years. This set is mono-black (with a few huge creatures breaking that rule). Where most decks look to get the best draws, the Graveborn set is much more concerned with discarding and then resurrecting cards from one’s graveyard. This means…
By some fluke, Neil Diamond – the once cheese-tatstic singer that pretty much defined the 70’s, sequenced shirt and all – has managed to not only remain relevant more than four decades after his first record, but has gotten everyone from housewives to hipsters to look beyond the sideburns and Vegas-ready stage show and see him for what he really is: a damn great songwriter. As The Very Best of…
I Came Around is a song of regret and loss that mirrors well the emotional intensity felt by someone in that situation; I believe a large part of Emerick’s allure comes in being able to capture in song what a great segment of the population has had to go through. Round and Round is the teetering track on this seven-song EP, and the more pensive and quiet approach here creates…
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is able to stop much of the decline of quality that was had between the first and second movies in their original iteration due to the strength of the actors here. James Franco, John Lithgow, and Andy Serkis all unite here to make a film that both stays relatively true to the original film while expanding upon the mythos and storyline of the…
We are relatively new to the benefits of an intra-workout, but wanted to provide our inaugural coverage of these products by giving some love to SciVation’s Xtend. We were provided with a bottle of the Lemon-Lime Sour flavor (there are also Watermelon, Grape, Orange, Raspberry and Green Apple flavors available) for purchase. Each bottle contains 30 servings and can be purchased directly from the Scivation online store. The miscibility of…
AC/DC is still an amazing act. However, I was only really able to hear their music – I was not as privy to the band’s ins and outs as my father, for example. However, Mark Evans (AC/DC’s first bass player) is able to provide the information that I was missing. Evans shows how unique of a band that AC/DC truly was; they came from Australia at a point where all…
We have not had much of a chance to use products that are touted to reduce joint paint or inflammation. However, we do get pretty banged up after a few days of working out, and Joint Rehab may just be the product that can get ice packs off knees and elbows and individuals back in their gym. All-American EFX’s unique formulation, using Kre-Celazine, ensures rapid removal of the symptoms that…
Chillerama is a comedic send-off of Troma and fifties/sixties movies; there are five distinct storylines that are occurring during the space of this film. Each one of these films is a short-form flick that takes on a different side of the z-movie genre, all to varying degrees of success. A who’s who of current directors try their hand at these different styles, including Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs), Adam Rifkin (Detroit…
It seems that there has been a dearth of interactive dance sims that do not only focus on pop or dance tracks. Country Dance and Country Dance 2, this year’s sequel, look to fix this problem. To ensure that the game’s different moves are captured correctly, one just has to move around the Wii Remote. The inclusion of the duet dancing mode is perhaps the best addition – the choreography…
