When a band that is overflowing with the energy that Vent possesses decides to construct something, you better hold on tight because the Earth is going to shake beneath your feet. From the first very notes I heard from the opening track, “Stalker”, I was ready to rock n’ roll! “Papa’s Dojo“, the very first …
Devo. Oingo Boingo. The Bay City Rollers. Atari Teenage Riot. The Partridge Family. What do all of these bands have in common? Absolutely nothing, unless you’re trying to tell someone what Mindless Self Indulgence sounds like. They sound like a psychotic blend of all of the above bands, only hopped up on crystal meth. Oh, …
If you like electronic dance music, you will like this self-titled CD by ELECTROSTATIC. This is electronic with touches of industrial by two talent musicians, Mike Thibeau on bass, keys and programming, along with Rob Gardner on drums and programming. Singer Kaoru has a voice perfectly suited for this type of music. The combination is …
Joel Crawford This CD is very reminiscent of those 60’s parity albums by the likes of artists such as Ray Stevens. Joel’s songs cover musical genres from country to surf and everything in-between. “Not Tonight Dear” made my chuckle because it is so like many country-western songs that are meant to be taken seriously but …
“Rugby Train”, is a high quality CD filled with extremely good Pop songs by BIGWHEEL, many of which are very Beatlesque in melody and harmonies. Other songsremembered me of other U.K. pop bands of the 60’s with a touch of 90’s pop. I really liked this album. BIGWHEEL is very talented and this CD is …
My jaw dropped. Yesterday, I heard the darkest, deepest, most hit-you-in-the-pit of-your-stomach songs I had heard in so long. The music came to me in the form of a band called Systematic. To say that this is just a group of four northern California musicians is like saying that “The Exorcist” was just a movie. …
There is just something about bands from the Southern states. They seem to have a certain sense of angst and swampland mysteriousness that other bands are not blessed with. Full Devil Jacket (Island/ Def Jam) are exactly the type of band I’m speaking of. Every track from the five-song EP, “A Wax Box to Put …
I’ve always been a huge fan of Ministry; ever since the days when I had Madonna hair and would wear a veil to those ridiculous eighties dance clubs only to spin around in an endless trance to songs like “Every Day is Halloween”. Oh my God, what am I saying? (Excuse me a moment while …
Release date: November 16, 1999 For someone that proclaims, “All I want in life is to be happy”, Jonathan Davis (singer/songwriter/bagpipe extraordinaire) of Korn remains one of the most disturbed and complex artists the “hardcore/rap metal/heavy music” scene has ever encountered. This very thing is what draws so many Korn fans to their music. The …
Track Listing 1. Down 5:51 2. Jesus 4:25 3. Freeload 6:20 If you’ve ever seen Chapter 23 live before, you’ll recognize these songs from Chapter 23’s demo. From the first track Down Chapter 23 grabs you buy the face and doesn’t let go until the final track has ended. With Chapter 23’s hard pounding sound …
