It seems almost as if a number of musicians and bands take a few tracks to introduce themselves and come to the creation of a hit, but Kiseleff’s first effort on “A Sound Seal” is downright jaw-dropping. This track, “Quicksilver Universe”, builds off of the work of bands like New Order and Depeche Mode even while possessing a tempo that would make acts like Tiesto and Daft Punk jealous. “Savannah”…
With all the things that the new Mac AppStore has to offer, one of the things I was really wishing for most was a new Mac version of the popular iStudiez Pro App that I have for both my iPhone and my iPad. iStudiez Pro is an App for keeping your homework, assignments, grades, and classes all straight, and with ease, I might add. Both of the iOS versions of…
Oathbreaker are a brutal Punk/Metal band from Ghent, Belgium. To outsiders, Belgium is a country rich in cultural diversity and history. However to its residents it is also a country of crime, corruption, and political incompetence. For the Ghent based Oathbreaker, the festering blood that surfaces from these social cracks and fissures burns as fuel for their creative engine. After their formation in early 2008, Oathbreaker released a debut 7″EP…
Billy Joel’s decades long career has mirrored other pop musicians, most notably Neil Diamond: starting out a thoughtful writer/performer churning out one great song after another, before sliding into the over-produced slickness of the late 80’s, early 90’s churning out basic, paint by number radio ready hits with little effort or thought (“The River of Dreams”), laying low for awhile and finally hitting legendary status embraced by everyone from the…
What exactly brought Teak together? What significance does the name hold? We evolved out of an acoustic covers group that was developing its own tracks on the side. With the name Teak, we didn’t want to be locked into a certain genre or style that would restrict what we wrote. We like the diversity and freedom of not being stereo typed. We wanted to write songs about things that we…
Over the course of the last few years, we at NeuFutur have gotten a tremendous amount of different wines, spirits, beers, and the like. In that time, we’ve filled out our Alcohol Reviews section considerably, but it has always seems as if there was something missing. We received a bottle a while back that I believe brings our wine and spirits coverage to the next level.
Colin and Brad: Two Man Group is one of those rare comedy DVDs that has the same frenetic energy that their live show has; whether it is their quick wits or their tendency to get a large segment of the audience involved, Colin and Brad know what to do to get the chuckles rolling. Image Entertainment has given these two a sharp DVD release, ensuring that viewers do not miss…
Sammy Hagar may have miscalculated a bit if he was looking to bolster his aw shucks good guy reputation with his just-released memoir. Before the book came out he was pretty much a clean slate, with many having little or no opinion about the red rocker. Sure he got dinged a bit for stepping into David Lee Roth’s shoes, but contrary to popular belief, he was a far better songwriter…
A show like The Venture Bros. could only exist on the Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Equally as impressive as anything the channel has turned out before from Aqua Teen Hunger Force to Metalocalypse, The Venture Bros. centers around the clueless brothers Dean and Hank Venture, their madman/ultimately an ok guy scientist father and his bodyguards.
The amount of help that Harvey Milk brought to the then-new LGBT movement cannot be understated. Exactly how much that cause was hurt after ey was assassinated cannot be understated in the same way. Where much is made of the murdering of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, Harvey Milk’s unfortunate path from this world is something that has not been given quite the amount of ink that it…
We at NeuFutur are extremely sorry to report that Nathaniel Dwayne Hale has passed on. Nate Dogg contributed to a number of important hip-hop tracks during eir career, gaining the most notoriety for contributions on Warren G’s “Regulate”, Snoop Dogg’s “Lay Low”, and Ludacris’ “Area Codes”.
Prolab is one of the best known names in fitness today, and it is due to the fact that they create such needed supplements. Their Amino Gel-Caps product is a focused supplement that will ensure the preservation of lean muscle even through the most grueling workout. While it is true that good nutrition will provide an individual with a good deal of amino acids, these Gel-Caps will make it that…
Having good tasting and filling options for one’s pre and post workout regime is important, and should be seen at a level comparable to a good shake or other supplement. While many fitness-minded individuals will undoubtedly know about the different protein bars on the market, I believe that Titan High Protein Cookies have been largely ignored.
The heavy bass line that begins “Adventures in Chaos” is reminiscent of Anthrax’s version of “Got The Time”. This properly-energetic track is the perfect introduction of the band to fans, and represents just one of the many high points that the disc has to offer. Intense vocals, splashy drums, and driving guitars all unite to create a track that straddles the line between rock and metal. “Bridge Too Far” switches…
I absolutely love when there is a good remaster or reissue of a forgotten disc. Sundazed’s 2011 version of the Blues Magoos 1966 classic is without fault. A quick glance of this 1,000-print limited edition disc showcases absolutely brilliant and vibrant cover art, while sticking the album into one’s player will show a similarly intense quality. This is due to the fact that Sundazed has procured the Mercury master reels,…
After faltering in the late nineties and early oughts, it seems as if vinyl has finally vanquished one challenger (cassette) and is looking for a tag team victory with iTunes against the flagging CD format. This blend of old music format and cutting-edge digital representations of music is mirrored perfectly in OFF!. OFF! is the new project by Keith Morris (Circle Jerks and Black Flag), taking up residence with Dimitri…
I graduated from college with a classics degree, along with a mountain of debt. I am familiar with Boudicca, but I believe that a number of other individuals have not had a chance to properly understand the impact that this Celtic queen had on any sort of rebellion against the Roman empire. Warrior Queen is a story about Boudicca’s trials and tribulations, and the lead role is filled by Alex…
A great many of the bands that come from the United Kingdom possess a certain musical pedigree that presents itself audibly during their music. It becomes an easy feat for a great many of these bands to succeed based on this pedigree along, but a special kudos has to go out to any sort of band that looks to break free of this style. I have to contend that The…
This DVD was filmed last year at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, and represents a killer show in memory of Les Paul. Jeff Beck provides the most brilliant star power of the night, but the ranks are filled out by legends like Gary U.S. Bonds, Imelda May, and Trombone Shorty. What results is an eclectic set of performances that never fails to impress. There is nary a…
Wubbzy’s Egg-Cellent Easter provides viewers with some of the newest children’s programming about the holiday, and this collection of episodes will keep children occupied for well over an hour. Far from being limited to the Easter holiday, this DVD marks the change in seasons. With a move away from the snow that has blanketed us here in Kent for the last few months, Wubbzy’s game of kickball with eir friends…
