The supergroup recently debuted their single “Best Damn Night” on RyanSeacrest.com. Positioned to make a huge splash in both the U.S. and U.K. in the coming months, the multi-talented group…
A robotic amalgamation of disco, funk, electro and punk influences, LA-based Short Circuit’s debut EP, Late Night Drive, will be released digitally worldwide this Monday, May 23 on Binary Entertainment (Keenhouse, Fabian, The Kids Are Radioactive). The brainchild and solo vehicle of LA electronic musician Andrew Verner, Short Circuit creates music that is equally made for night driving as it is for the dance floor. The son of a small…
It always felt a little disingenuous to label Great White as a hair metal band. Yes they were popular during glam metal’s late 80’s heyday and yes they were featured right alongside bands like Poison and Ratt in the pages of Hit Parader and Circus magazines. I’m sure their concert riders even called for cans of Aqua Net at the time, but if you listen to their music, it was…
New Orleans’ blackened blues-metallers Blackfire Revelation finally release their long-delayed, self-titled debut full length this July on their Southern Reconstruction label. Blackfire Revelation was founded by J.R. Fields in the summer of 2002. Fields was in film school at the University of New Orleans at the time and growing increasingly disinterested in both college and the film industry. Later that year, his grandfather, a farmer and Baptist deacon from Mississippi,…

FIREWORKS have also confirmed two dates with Hot Water Music later this…
Vancouver, Canada has always had something of a split musical personality. The city is both a hub of electronic and industrial bands such as Skinny Puppy and Front Line Assembly and home to bloody-knuckled DIY punk legends like DOA and SNFU. In Left Spine Down, the city’s sounds have found a fusion that Left Spine Down calls cyberpunk. Left Spine Down (also known simply as LSD) blend elements of industrial,…
Let’s get this out of the way up front: if goofy, often absurdist humor is not your thing, stay far away from Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! In fact, it’s probably best you stop reading this review and just move on to more productive things. Ok, now that those born without a sense of humor have moved on, can you believe these guys have found a channel brave…
Earth & The Next Society – Live Earth (CD) / 2011 Self / 5 Tracks / http://www.earthandthenextsociety.com “Golden Age” is the first track on Live Earth, and the confident guitar work that opens up the album will immediately ensnare listeners. While the presence of a nearly six minute track may be a hard hurdle for some bands to hop, Earth & The Next Society craft a song that is as…
Too Young To Be In Love is the first fully-realized Hunx and His Punx album, and the group’s first for Hardly Art.

This record was made in the same studio that one of Hunx’s idols Ronnie Spector once recorded in. While it is preceded by the…

Forgetting to take your shaker out of your workout bag after a hard workout is something that is tremendously easy to do, and creates a ticking time bomb that will absolutely gag you the second that you go to open and clean your bottle. Strip-based SDC Nutrition is quite familiar with this phenomenon, and looks to make it a thing of the past with their unique About Time Fill, Shake…
When one is making a protein shake, there are a tremendous amount of different options to be had. Whether it is whey, hemp, pea, or any one of a number of different protein sources, there seems to be a tremendous amount of differentiation between these types. The simple fact is that humans typically need a whole heap more protein than they traditionally get in a normal day, and this need…
There are a considerable amount of protein shots that are currently available on the market. A number of them provide a decent serving of protein, but do it with a horrible taste or too small of an amount of protein to really mater. However, the Liquid Morph+ by iSatori is one of those products that considerably raise the bar. When one looks at the vial of Liquid Morph+, what immediately…
Coming across as a modern day version of That’s Incredible! or Ripley’s Believe It or Not, at least once in every episode of Stan Lee’s Superhumans there’s an “is that real?” moment. Co-hosted by Stan Lee – creator of comic heroes like The Hulk, X-Men and Spiderman – the show centers on real people with real, if odd, physical abilities, like being able to withstand extreme heat or conduct electricity…
Five years seems like a long time to wait nowadays for a new record, when any laptop can convert into a portable recording studio, but Nicole Atkins gets a pass. On Mondo Amore, the first real follow up of new music to her 2006 debut (the EP released in 2009 was all covers), Atkins ratchets up everything from the writing to the music, turning in an effort that eclipses her…
It was a little over a year ago when I first picked up a copy of Pat’s book, ‘Name of the Wind,’ the first book of his fantasy trilogy. At first, I was reluctant to give a new author a chance. I had been a long time fan of a number of writers, and had a pile of their works collecting dust on shelves, or hidden in bins. A new…
When it is compared to the amount of running, weight-lifting, cardio, or any sort of exercise an individual may do, scooping out a load of protein powder seems like a lot of work. However, Twinlab’s new product, Power Fuel, has made it much easier to get the benefits from the workout that you truly need.
When it comes to getting protein in our systems for a hard workout (either after or before), we typically use a traditional protein powder in a water (or soy milk) suspension. We received some samples of New Whey Liquid Protein from IDS Sports, and have taken quite a liking to them. This is due to a number of features. First off, 3.8 ounces of the liquid protein contains 42 grams…
