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.

BM Linx – Black Entertainment – Review

November 1, 2009

15 years ago, when Bush was steering their Nirvana-lite rock approach down Electric Avenue, this might’ve flown.

Baroness – Blue Record – Review

November 1, 2009

An amazing and diverse band, so textured and well-versed, metal fans would be missing out on a real gem if they didn’t snag this one and absorb it thoroughly.

Bad Lieutenant – Never Cry Another Tear – Review

November 1, 2009

New Order singer Bernard Sumner has such a beautiful, distinctive voice, he could read the troubleshooting FAQs for your iPod and we’d listen, enraptured.

Skold vs. KMFDM – Review

October 1, 2009

Sasha Konietzko (KMFDM) teams up with Tim Skold (Skold, Marilyn Manson, KMFDM) for a continent-crossing collaboration. Ground rules: No guitars, no drum kits.

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.

Crash Kelly – One More Heart Attack – Review

October 1, 2009

Sean Kelly can rip shit up, but, like Gilby Clarke, he doesn’t really know where to go with it. And his voice makes the Bay City Rollers sound butch.

Johnny Cash Remixed – Review

June 1, 2009

Snoop Dogg’s slaughter of “I Walk the Line” is unforgivable. Other remixes are cool, simply because they’re left alone, just beats and flourishes added.

Tiamat – Amanethes – Review

June 1, 2009

Edlund’s voice has gotten deeper, as well as more snarling. Three years in Greece has done him well. Many good songs on many good albums, the bar is set high.

Royal Bliss – Life In-Between – Review

June 1, 2009

Royal Bliss might get stuck with the “passionate rock” tag, like Hinder and other embarrassments. Closer “I Was Drunk” I’ve now listened to going on 20 times.
