Liaroid Cinema- inletPAGE REVIEW
After being shouted at for the last couple of weeks, it’s about time I said “sayonara” and just put up a damn review for Liaroid Cinema’s inletPAGE. Liaroid Cinema’s inletPAGE sounds like it was ripped right out of the late 90′s indie rock scene.: full band chorus shouts, whistling guitars, and whiny achey vocals. What’s [...]
SiM mini album LiFE and DEATH- Mini-Review
SiM’s Heavy Metal Reggae infused punk rolls up another fattie in LiFE and DEATH and continues to excite with 6 new tracks. Every track is solid. Lead single “AMY” is an excellent example of how the band can mix such numerous styles and make a track work. Hell they even throw in some dubstep bass-drops in [...]
Atata’s Tatat album review
Atata’s Tatat album is a giant quilt of musical patchwork that will surround you and generate a lot of wonderful heat no matter how ugly it looks. Imagine hearing all these different crazy colors and patterns that normally clash, and yet Atata somehow weave them all together into a really damn good jam session album. [...]
M-Flo- Square One album Review
You get a full 60 minutes of party music in M-Flo’s Square One and there is a little something for everyone. M-Flo can do techno, M-Flo can go hard with drops ala Skrillex, M-flo can do dance, M-flo can do club and M-flo can do rave. It’s kind of all over the place and I [...]
Wasureranneyo Self-Titled Album review
Wasureranneyo’s self-titled album is lovely and sneaky garage rock by those pesky neighborhood kids. It’s mischievous rock that will shoot a slingshot of rock into your heart. You can hear Bleach-era Nirvana in their guitars and you can hear Weezer-esque vocals that are super emotional. The way the lead singer is always wincing when he [...]
FACT- Burundanga Review
FACT bombed us with three singles off their Burundanga Album in January. There was the pop punk friendly “FOSS,” the Co3 techno heavy blend of “Pink Rolex” and the more serious “Polyrhythm Winter.” All three tracks are excellent and reason enough to buy Burundanga. But a couple of questions remain, how is the rest of [...]
Apple Saitou and the Happy Hercules Boys Self-Titled Album Review
Apple Saitou and the Happy Hercules Boys might have an affinity towards apples, but we all know that fruit is so punk rock. The apple core is totally Ramones. Punk is the driving force of this album clearly felt in tracks like “Hey! Ho!Apple” and “Wakkanai Yo!” That being said, Apple Saitou and the Happy [...]
SiM- Seeds of Hope Album Review
SiM smashes headache-inducing hateration-filled hard rock with bits of metal, sludge and spooky ska riffs for a rather unique bit of optimism in their latest album Seeds of Hope. This album may not offer the most intellectual of self-reflection and realization, with lyrics such as “Fuck you, I fucking hate you,” from the song “I [...]
YeYe- Asa wo Akedashite, Yoru wo Tojirumade Review
YeYe sprinkles earthly folk melodies like a wood sprite in her folksy pop album Asa wo Akedashite, Yoru wo Tojirumade. YeYe’s vocals are fairy-ish, and it’s as if all of nature’s little critters surround her for backup vocals. She has an almost cutesy voice that sounds like a loud whispery mix of Frente! meets Bjork [...]
The Flickers- Wonderground Mini-album Mini-Review
The Flickers create fire out of nowhere with their 6 track mini-album Wonderground and warm your ears with some hot tunes. The Flickers first single “White Heat” is a blazing guitar scorcher which is a great lead off for the rest of the album. Wonderground consists of only six songs, but provides an excellent mid [...]
