Dangermaker – Review

January 1, 2010

Reminds me of INXS. Slick yet kinda dark, ’80s pop rock with some keyboards, but enough slithering guitar to keep it rock.

Snowbyrd – Diosado – Review

November 1, 2009

Shoegaze and alt-country, plus guitar jangle, stoner rock thud and wail, and assorted tinkerings. Some good tunes, clear production, a real find for some.

Disgust of Us – Review

November 1, 2009

Disgust of Us have many, many good qualities and obvious skills, and they have a huge headstart on the majority of unsigned bands with a debut CD.

Passion Pit – Manners- Review

October 1, 2009

When will your resistance will be sufficiently eroded by soaring crescendos, children’s choir backups, insanely catchy choruses, and bouncy dance beats.

Glasvegas – Review

October 1, 2009

Glasvegas sound Scottish, with that yelp/catch, and an obvious love of ’50s harmonies. Vocals that can both break your heart and lift your face to stormy skies.

Iggy Pop – Lust For Life – Review

September 1, 2009

This documentary carries a buncha footage from 20 years ago with Ig, some choice Stoogeliness, and interview footage with guitar player Ron Ashton. It’s great.
