Starsailor – On the Outside – Review

December 1, 2006

A no-frills rock record with arena-sized choruses, crunchy power chords, and a driving momentum that doesn’t let up. An album no one expected from Starsailor.

Spike Priggen – There’s No Sound in Flutes! – Review

Fans of standard-yet-smart guitar pop a la Jason Falkner, Jon Brion, The Kinks, etc. will be glad to know that guys such as Spike Priggen are still out there.

An interview with vocalist Lou Koller

Traindodge – Wolves – Review

November 3, 2006

Zeppelin-meets-Crimson titans have been at the game for quite a while. No surprise that Wolves is the band’s most streamlined, cohesive, and addictive record.

This Day and Age – The Bell and the Hammer – Review

November 3, 2006

They know when to shout to the sky, when to hold back and build pressure, and when to go for the throat. Even when going full-out, there’s never any melodrama.
