Gospel Gossip – Drift – Review

May 1, 2010

A Minnesota trio who weave dense, atmospheric guitars into thick slabs of sound. On Drift, a four-song EP, the band isn’t shy about pushing the volume.

Iron Man – 2 – Review

May 1, 2010

Whether you’re controlling Iron Man or War Machine, the weaponry that should be game’s selling point feels unresponsive and ineffectual.

Dead to Rights – Retribution – Review

Down and dirty and proud of it, Dead to Rights: Retribution’s aesthetic is like the trashy, violent glee of the Death Wish movies.

Black Label Society – Skullage – Review

May 1, 2010

Resurrecting an 18-year-old Sega CD title with great music, snappy writing, and memorable characters and quests, all wrapped in a sterling updated presentation.

Strung Out – Agents of The Underground – Review

April 1, 2010

While many ’90s pop punk bands went acoustic, Strung Out still layer the harmonies thick, play fast and tight, and the breakdowns come right on time.
