"Magnificent City" by Aceyalone

On paper, Magnificent City should have been a knockout. Freestyle Fellowship member Aceyalone collaborating with top-notch beat maker RJD2 over an entire full-length album? This had the all the promise of an instant Hip-Hop classic in the vein of super pairings like Madvillain or Dangerdoom.... [More]

"Cantrell Loose in Luciferland" by Alkaline Steve-O

Well first off the trip started out late since we were waiting for a certain bro to get to my house. I didn't even want to go, but there was this extra ticket so I did, thinking it might be eventful, and oh, little did I know what would be in store. We arrived in Satanville with cloudy brains and a... [More]

"Death By Sexy" by Eagles of Death Metal

The chief reason that I loved Eagles of Death Metal 2004 debut album Peace Love & Death Metal so much is that they didn't take an ounce of themselves seriously. Singer Jesse "The Devil" Hughes and drummer Josh Homme (more famous for his singing and guitar work with Desert Sessions and Queens of the... [More]

"Show Your Bones" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

One of the more hotly anticipated Alternative-Rock records of 2006, the Yeah Yeah Yeah's sophomore full-length Show Your Bones doesn't disappoint, unless you're the kind of person that was hoping to get Fever To Tell all over again. Even before this album came out though, you couldn't ignore the sig... [More]

"Bring It Back" by Mates Of State

To me, Mates of State have always been one of those bands that are instantly likeable, but have never been all that essential. That is until the release of this brand new record. Bring It Back finds husband and wife duo (yes, they are really husband and wife) Jason Hammel (drums, vox) and Kori Gard... [More]

"An Army of Shapes Between Wars" by Action Action

Holy shit folks it's dance fever sweeping the country? Once again the eccentric Marc Kluepfel and his Action Action ensemble return to remake the 80's with even more obnoxious sounding synth slams and more nasal crooning than ever before. But where there was a harsh blast of grainy shit on Don't Cut... [More]

"The Fast Rise and Fall of the South" by Kingsbury Manx

Kingsbury Manx are aliens having taken up human form in North Carolina, close but far enough away from Langley so as not to arouse suspicion. Their decision to pose as a rock band may prove to be their undoing as an intergalactic menace, but overall their failure is our good fortune. Posing as a roc... [More]

"Born Again In The U.S.A." by Loose Fur

It's amazing that with Wilco's tour schedule and release of their recent double live album that Jeff Tweedy, drummer Glenn Kotche and producer/honorary member Jim O'Rourke had any free time whatsoever to pay a visit to their Loose Fur side project. Released back in 2003, the first Loose Fur affair w... [More]

"Supernature" by Goldfrapp

When Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory started out in 2000 with their debut Felt Mountain, it was a stellar record even though the duo came into the Portishead, Tricky and Black Box Recorder world of trip-hop a little too late. Fast forward to 2003 and their follow-up Black Cherry was as far a depar... [More]

"Youth" by Matisyahu

Former Phishead/druggie high school dropout Mathew Miller admits himself into a hippie-ish drug treatment center, gets clean, undergoes a conversion to Hasidic Judaism and changes his name to Matisyahu. If that weren't likely enough, Matisyahu is now burning up the pop charts with his religious bran... [More]

"On Fire! (Igloo)" by Some By Sea

Some By Sea is a five piece Indie-Rock band hailing from the greater Seattle area, and after first impressions are instantly comparable to someone like Death Cab For Cutie; another band that calls the Northwest their home. What makes Some By Sea a tad different however is their attention to epic len... [More]

"If Only You Were Lonely" by Hawthorne Heights

Hitting the ground running off their smashing debut album, The Silence in Black and White, Hawthorne Heights is going from updating their MySpace page to nearly getting a Cribs episode in the amount of time it takes to get an Associate degree. This is really amazing progression in terms of emo. Thes... [More]

"Fox Confessor Brings The Flood" by Neko Case

While many may know her from her current stint in the Canadian Power-Pop super group The New Pornographers, Neko Case is a pretty amazing solo artist in her own right. In 2002, she released Blacklisted with a rag tag team of stellar musicians such as the Good brothers from The Sadies, Howe Gelb from... [More]

"Identity" by Skylines

This is Skylines first ever full-length release. Their last was some split with Stars are Falling and I have to say that track one on Identity is pretty heavy, sadly in the end it gets stamped with a big fat "weak." Once it seques into "The Pugilist's Lament" that "jud-dud-jun-jun-jujun-jud" riffin... [More]

"Seperate Ways" by Teddy Thompson

First off I have to confess to being totally ignorant as to Teddy Thompson's existence up until I saw a documentary/tribute concert about Leonard Cohen at Sundance this year. With his classic singer-songwriter look accented by a long curly leonine mane and James Taylor-esque voice he delivered a stu... [More]
