Michael Korb – Sleepwalker – Review

January 1, 2010

Michael Korb has a gentle voice he often lets soar, like Muse or Ours, but without the near-metal drama backdrop. The strumming is natural as dew drops at dawn.

Librarians – Present Passed – Review

January 1, 2010

Indie rock, with lite psych flourishes and new wave keyboards (New Order darkness and depth plus celebration, not “Safety Dance” frivol), and laidback vocals.

Krakow – Monolith – Review

January 1, 2010

A good band treading water in a pool of good ideas, not sticking with any one idea/style long enough or having the experience to focus on it and make it happen.

Elis – Catharsis – Review

January 1, 2010

Three releases and an EP, and they still let the guy “sing”? Third-rate female-fronted Goth metal (on Napalm? Gee, really?) with pro-production by Alex Krull.

Dialis – Precatic – Review

January 1, 2010

Organic Gothic rock. Simply dark, brooding, somber rock. From Italy, two guys with friends and 11 songs to contemplate.

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.
