Members: Mark Scondotto – Vocals Steve DellaCroce – Guitar Dion DeNardo – Bass Jimmy McCormack – Drums Now here is a CD worth listen to again and again. The only bad thing is it only has three songs. SHUTDOWN is a foursome from New York City and THEY KICK ASS. I love hard, heavy, powerful …
From the first song I liked Fair Verona’s sound. They reminded me of Fleming and John, a highly talented group. Fair Verona’s sound is heavier overall, but these two groups are quite similar in their approach. All three of the females in Fair Verona; Beth Cameron (guitar), Shawn Potter (guitar), and Leah Nicholls (bass) take …
Well, no modern instruments for this group. Their music is played on banjulele, autoharp, pump organ, washboard, fiddle and cello. Their bio states their music is, basically, urban farmer, browngrass, porch rocking Peter, Paul and Mary. This description comes close, though, many of their songs are laden with humor. If you are looking for simple, …
Members: Jon SalemiDustin PerryTim RedmondDaryl TaberskiFrank Vicario DESIGNS FOR AUTOMOTIONTrack #1 ‘Target’, remembered me of Jane’s Addiction quite a bit. Most of the rest of the CD did not, however. This CD is not mainstream HARDCORE. It was a bit more melodic than most straight-up Hardcore; noted mainly by it’s Metal guitar attack, though, the …
A Tribute To Jerry GarciaAccording to ‘Grateful Dead Productions’, this is the very first such tribute to the legendary Jerry Garcia.

For me, they are POP with …

Ghoulspoon, (Zach Goode on vocals, J. Cooper and Jeremy Ronstadt on guitars and vocals, Richard “Rice” Enright Jr. on bass and Jason Vick on drums) a band that you cannot categorize in the traditional sections of a record store. Elements of metal/funk/ska/punk/reggae/hip-hop makes up what Ghoulspoon throws at you on their CD entitled “Fever“. During …
Rap Metal with that groovy, downtuned bass is not dead yet. And you know what? When it comes to bands like Primer 55, I’m glad. Korn and Limp Bizkit (yes, there ya go again!) have created a monster that will not die, no matter how many times and how many ways you try to kill …
At first sight, I was stunned by Helen 55‘s performance. Stunned, pleased, and surprised all at once. I saw them at a time when I was deep into Far and the Deftones and bands of that genre that just can’t be pigeonholed, and they end up in some weird “I don’t know what I’m in …
