Vaux – Plague Music – Review

February 21, 2005

The metal edge is chamfered by dramatic soaring Goth rock progressions and honed with Sabbath crunch. Spacey electronic squeaks put a modern stamp on the piece.

Brandon Wiard – Painting a Burning Building – Review

February 21, 2005

Take a handful of power chords, slightly countrified; add a half-spoken male vocal, and mix with a dash of slightly drunken, slightly horny revelations.

The Upwelling – Review

February 16, 2005

Damn, great press package and production, lush sounds (Pink Floyd, Enigma without the beats), and a singer who’ll break your heart.

The Factory Incident – Red Tape – Review

February 16, 2005

Ex-singer of Government Issue, vocals mixed way upfront. Not a great singer, but there’s not a lot else going on, so I see why he’s upfront.

Settlefish – The Plural of the Choir – Review

February 16, 2005

When they’re noisy, they sound like other rock indie rock (non-screamo) bands, and when they’re soft, they remind me of other bands I wanna play instead.

Pepper’s Ghost – Shake the Hand that Shook the World – Review

February 16, 2005

Pepper’s Ghost is so pretty and shiny, displaying all the right elements of pop rock and ’70s Brit glam, but they’ve got the integrity of studio musicians.

Of Montreal – The Sunlandic Twins – Review

February 16, 2005

Always a pleasant foray into Beatles dippy psychedelic pop. They’ve had “eclectic” concept albums and can sing silly lyrics without being trendy ironic.

New York City Smoke – Hearts & Stones – Review

February 16, 2005

Ex-member of Thin Lizard Dawn, a NYC major label band I quite liked. This is heartfelt, and the world is full of earnest bands. Here’s another one.

My Epiphany – Miribilia – Review

February 16, 2005

On the label run by a guy in Thursday, and you can see why. Same melodic/anthemic indie rock with meandering guitar noodle, strong choruses, and keyboards.

Eleven Minutes Away – Arson Followed Me Home – Review

February 16, 2005

Part harmonied powerpop (verses, choruses, everything seconded), part screamo. Melodies are nice, there’re two of everything, and screamo can go fuck itself.
