Here, Here, and Here: Meg and Dia
By heather • Jun 24th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsHere, Here, and Here by Meg & Dia is a phenomenal album. As I was sitting down to write this review I was trying to figure out where to start and I thought to myself, even if someone just reads the first sentence I want them to know how great the album is. I can’t even stress enough how beautifully well written it is from start to finish.
The Guesthouse Sessions: James Lanman
By heather • Jun 24th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsWhile I was writing this review I was listening to the EP on repeat trying to pick out one song as the you-have-to-listen-to-this track. Honestly, I cannot pick just one. The EP is FREE at www.jameslanman.blogspot.com Why wouldn’t you check out every track?
Bring Me The Horizon: Suicide Season
By Brenden • Jan 26th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsIf you are into metal than get into these kids cause they can get you to that point where you smash your windows out on accident. They arnt nearly as technical as most of their peers are these days but they can fucking trench their way through the beats just as well and put some heavy ass lows into what they do and how they do it.
The Sound Of Animals Fighting: The Ocean And The Sun
By Brenden • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsMy excitement for their releases gives me this rush of pretentiousness like maybe i should attend an art opening out on Alberta st. or Ne Mississippi. This Member Swapping indie and post punk super group has a distinct way in making their listeners feel entitled to some self worth.
Escape The Fate: This War Is Ours
By Brenden • Jan 22nd, 2009 • Category: Record Reviewsthese dudes are competent enough musicians to pull off a second rate My Chemical Romance thing, they just don’t. It seems that they are content with sinking to the bottom of the emotional rock lake and affix themselves via chain to a giant rock to spend the rest of their days where the sunlight is thin and the fish talk shit on Fashion whores.
I Am Ghost: Those We Leave Behind
By Brenden • Jan 20th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsThe album still tries to go for the dark thespian roll with huge melodies and vocal lines a plenty dedicated to dark subject matter such as zombies and graveyards (two things I’m a sucker for). But overall the album just seems like a lackluster attempt at creating their debut. This is a stereotypical sophomore slump album.
I Set My Friends On Fire: You Cant Spell Slaughter Without Laughter
By Brenden • Jan 16th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsThe two bros of ISMFOF have created a great little parody of your stereotypical screamsingcore band and in doing so make something that i would rather listen to then the original product.
A Hero A Fake: Volatile
By Brenden • Jan 15th, 2009 • Category: Record ReviewsYou pretty much have to be at the top of your game to get a hold of my attention, And A Hero A Fake are standing on a mountain of retired Sega genesis and super Nintendos wearing power gloves and throwing Atari 2600s at people as they walk by.
