Dedspace – Constants in Breaking – Split – Review

March 15, 2004

What we have here is a split EP by two local bands who are not really bringing anything innovative or interesting to the table.

Constants in Breaking – Dedspace – Split – Review

March 15, 2004

Dedspace does a lot of the same things that Constants does, but with a much softer edge. Absent are the screaming accompaniment and aggressive distortion, and in their stead are dark, passionate wails and squealing guitars

Young Sexy Assassins – May Day in the Garden of Memories – Review

March 15, 2004

Noisy rock that’s dissonant and sporadic, treading the grey areas between indie, hardcore, and art-rock. But this is by no means a bad thing, and there’s no question that the lads are very good at what they do.

Bright Calm Blue – A Direct Approach For Casual Conversation – Review

March 15, 2004

Bright Calm Blue offers up pretty standard math-flavored indie-rock, which is to say it’s aggressive yet melodious, interesting yet formulaic.

Tyondai Braxton – Rise, Rise, Rise – Review

March 15, 2004

Tyondai Braxton has obviously escaped from the same refugee camp (as Parts & Labor), as evidenced by “Stand There,” the best song Parts & Labor never wrote and probably the highlight of the whole disc.

Parts & Labor – Tyondai Braxton – Rise, Rise, Rise – Review

March 15, 2004

A Brooklyn three-piece. Most other reviewers have compared them to other art-rock bands, but those sorts of comparisons imply that they’re some sort of rip-off, which is patently false.

Rob Falgiano – Things I Used to Know – Review

March 15, 2004

Rob knows how to write good pop with a touch of rockin’ country twang. He does it with energy and a smile, and throws in some gentle slow jazz sounds and even a little funk for good measure.

20 Miles – Life Doesn’t Rhyme – Review

March 15, 2004

Half-assed blues from one-third of JSBX. Judah Bauer plays the kind of music that makes you think, “Hey, that Jon Spencer is a pretty good guitarist, isn’t he?”

Machinery Hall – The Separation of Music and State – Review

March 15, 2004

Imagine Blue Öyster Cult meet The Moody Blues, soulfully singing “I don’t talk to no one but myself” and occasionally slowing it down with a folksy ballad. I don’t have hard proof, but I smell a Renaissance Faire somewhere in here.

The Failure – …of reason – Review

March 15, 2004

Nice radio-ready rock band that puts together chirpy/pushy tunes with real-sounding instruments and a heartfelt (read: ’70s-speak for “emo”) singer.
