What U.P.O. stands for and where they are from are total mysteries to me. In fact I have never heard of the band prior to receiving their CD for review. Usually when you hear a CD from a band you have never heard about, you are a little skeptical of if it will be worth …
3 Doors Down is probably the best thing to come out of Mississippi since B.B. King, musically that is. I do not think Mississippi has too much more to offer, other than music. With the release of the album “The Better Life”, 3 Doors Down look to put their mark on the music industry, which …
Finally the much anticipated release of the new Less Than Jake CD, Borders & Boundaries. After venturing off to test the waters of the major record label in Capital Records, the guys from Less Than Jake return to the independent market.

I often felt like I am caught in the land of meaningless music; where music is catchy and funny, but has no real message. Recently I listened to one the best punk rock albums I have heard this year. Americore from Riotgun is a punk album that packs such a punch, that it will kick …

Add a polished silver spoonful of polished production to your toast point. Take a bite of this. Put on your ‘Tangerine Speedo’ and …
In Stores October 31st PJ Harvey has always inspired a certain fear in this listener. The passionate expression of her wanton lust, her desperate desire, the open wounds of love lost and abandonment, pleading prayers and shivering breath all wrapped in a tight, thin little package much too small to sound this huge.

Hell, they’ve even done a stint beside self-proclaimed white trash, Kid Rock. As a young …
