Music Review: GWAR – Lust in Space (sampler)

The Scumdogs return with another dose of over the top metal.

The Crumbs – Hold that Shit Right (CD)
I’ve reviewed The Crumbs once before. That album I wasn’t the biggest fan of, but that was The Crumbs 2003-2004, and this is the Crumbs 1993-2002, and I don’t feel that a blanket statement would do much to describe what clearly is a different phase for this long-lasting band. I’m shocked, I hear melody, and a style of punk that is a mixture of Rancid and The Ramones come out of the first track, “Dothan, Pill City, USA”, with the perfect pseudo-psychobilly guitar to top that off. While there is n

The Ultimate Box Set For A Legend

Since the death of Michael Jackson, the “King of Pop”, he has become more popular than ever, and because of this there are a large amount of CDs hitting the market, that include his hits from the early days to the present. One of the best releases, thus far is the Michael Jackson Ultimate Collection CD Set. Although this 5 disc box set has been available for some time now, it is really the best purchase if you want to always remember the man who has mad the largest impact in the music industr

A powerful reminder of why Elvis Presley was the King.

Music Review: Overproduction foils Brooke Hogan
Brooke Hogan, “The Redemption” (SoBe) Brooke Hogan may know best on her reality show, but she should have known better than churning out the lackluster album “The Redemption.” It’s all tricks, and few treats. On most songs… more

Cruci-Fetus – Demo (CD)
Coping off the riff for Metallica’s “Motorbreath” in the beginning of the track, the opening “G.W. Cunt” is a high-water mark for these two individuals, Joe Hiles and George McSweeney. The track is only around a minute, but political beliefs don’t need to be long, drawn-out treaties or discussion. “Pentagram Agenda 1984”, as well as the rest of the tracks on the disc, feature guest drumming by Brock Ailes, from The Freedumb Fries. In this second track, however, we have some nice double-bass peda

Post-Smiths Scottish jangle-poppers continue to age gracefully with their lovely new album.

THE ULTIMATE BOX SET FOR A LEGEND
by Patrick Daniels The King of Pop is some-more renouned right away than ever and with which there have been a lot of brand brand new recover CDs entrance out onto the marketplace of his hits from the prolonged and ago and a little of his some-more brand new works. The many appropriate gathering of his functions which I have gifted to illustrate far is the Michael Jackson Ultimate Collection CD Set. This implausible 5 front boxed set has been accessible for a while, but indeed covers the man

Music Review: The Fiery Furnaces new CD is affable, but they’re too smart for their …
The Fiery Furnaces, “I’m Going Away” (Thrill Jockey) The Fiery Furnaces’ “I’m Going Away,” for all of its quirky ballads, remains slightly hamstrung by the hipster chic. The experimental approach is fun for a while, but it gets poured on a little thick at times. What burdens the New York-based brother-and-sister fronted act is their [...]

Music Review: Transcendental Highway Re-release – Colin Hay
Hi there… Back in the 1980s , the band Men at Work hit our shores with such hits as “Who Can It Be Now?” and “Down Under”. Colin Hay was one member of the group I will forever tie to some great days in my childhood. I honestly lost track of Hay and the rest of Men at Work after they released Contraband: The Best of Men at Work in 1996. In 2001, Hay released the album Going Somewhere , which featured acoustic versions of many of the songs from his earlier solo works. Rediscover

Music Review: Daughtry – Leave This Town
Debuting at Number One on the Billboard 200, it’s a hard-hitting sophomore release by Daughtry!

Music Review: Lacuna Coil – Shallow Life

Not their best, but a direction change that fits the band, if not my tastes.

Demi Lovato rocks harder than you

Disney’s latest pop-rock princess Demi Lovato is on track for a top-5 debut on next week’s chart with her “Here We Go Again,” and one of the media’s favorite fun-facts about the young star is that she’s a closet metalhead. On Thursday’s “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ,” she revealed a few of the bands that have received the Lovato stamp of approval. There was nothing as obvious as a Killswitch Engage or Mastadon on Lovato’s wish list of bands for Fallon to book, as the 16 year-old illustrated

Does Your Pop Music Suck? Nothing Good To Go Bad.
/ This post commandeered by guest blogger Don Bito/ I drove into work today without the slightest idea of what I would write about this week. I hadn’t heard anything new and noteworthy, one way or the other, and I had my doubts about how many weeks I could get away with writing about not-necessarily-recent songs that I just happen to like, and still have you all believe this was a topical pop music review column. Approaching my desk, a lone tear swelled and dropped from my eye, a single gl

Crime in Stereo – The Troubled Stateside (CD)
Crime in Stereo come forth with the same type of open-air guitars that individuals have learned to expect from the band. Tracks are relatively quick, but the effect that they will have on a listener will not disappear quite as quickly. During tracks like “I’m On The Guestlist, Motherfucker”, the band moves into the realm previously only traversed by acts like Rise Against. The guitars are still distinct, a hallmark of Crime in Stereo’s own distinct style. This is one of the shortest tracks on th
