First things first- HAPPY 78th BIRTHDAY, MR. CASH! The unusual release date of AMERICAN VI Ain’t No Grave, February 26th, is a tribute to the birth of the Man in Black. It’s so hard to believe that this is it, all we’re ever going to hear from an American Icon. The [...] Let me just tell you, the bio that came along with this album was just the album cover with the words “THEY CAN’T HURT YOU IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN THEM.” It’s so creepy looking, I can’t even begin to explain it. The first few tracks continue that feeling. The album is beautifully presented, and [...] “Say I’ll Be gone” I’m always really excited for EPs from smaller local bands, especially when they’ve put up a few tracks on MySpace which sound very promising. The Dream The Chase are a band from Brisbane, Australia and their debut EP Found Again is friggin’ epic! It’s been a long time since I’ve picked up an EP where [...] The opening track “Hip-Hip Hooray!” on America’s Playmate had me singing along at the second “woah oh.” Jimme Coccaro really knows how to write vocal melodies that perfectly complement his music and show off his singing abilities.

Anvil attacks your sound systems, just like they’ve always done, yet again. Beginning with a slow and heavy track entitled, “This is Thirteen,” which is about as trademark for Anvil as it gets. By the second track, you should [...] It’s been a long three years waiting for this record, and you have to wonder, what are Brand New going to come up with, considering how close to perfection 2006’s The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me was. The record opens with a strange introduction that doesn’t give you much clue as to what direction [...]
Despite never having listened to Four Year Strong previous to this, I have to say that I respect them for this project. The album, comprised entirely of 90s covers, is a very respectable take on the songs that I grew up on. Explains It All is very obviously an album that was created by [...]
To be honest, if I had never heard of As Tall As Lions before, this might have gotten a full five pluses. However, I feel like it strays too much from everything I love about As Tall As Lions. The only thing that I feel is truly consistent between their self titled album [...] This album is the first Rx Bandits album not to feature horns. I know what you’re thinking: ‘what!? RXB without horns?’ Believe it or not it actually adds to that Rx Bandits sound. The lack of horns allows you to focus more on Steve Choi and Matt Embree’s eclectic and energetic guitar rhythms and Embree’s powerful vocal melodies. Let’s not forget about Chris Tsagakis who seems to top himself each and every [...] |
