"Employment" by Kaiser Chiefs

Cut from the same cloth as all the other hot "it" bands such as The Futureheads, Bloc Party, and Dogs Die In Hot Cars, new Brit band Kaiser Chiefs play the dance punk card just as well as their cohorts do. The most refreshing thing about the Kaiser's however is that they sound like they have a vast... [More]

"Guero" by Beck

Beck - everyone's favorite "Loser" is back with a new album, only Mr. Hansen is much more of a winner these days. 2002's brilliant and somber Sea Change found the innovative folkster in more melancholy terrain but his new masterpiece Guero is a return of sorts to the eccentric stylings of Odelay and...

"Lullabies To Paralyze" by Queens of the Stone Age

If everything you knew about Queens of the Stone Age was based off nothing more than listening to their breakthrough album, 2002's Songs For The Deaf, you'd think that Lullabies To Paralyze would be a direct continuation from SFTD - since Lullabies takes its title directly from a lyric near the end...

"Picaresque" by The Decemberists

When The Decemberists released The Tain EP last year, it was quite apparent that Colin Meloy and his band of merry men (and women) were on to something special. The Decemberists first two albums, Castaways And Cutouts and Her Majesty, while very good, begged comparison to Belle & Sebastian. Not so w... [More]

"Everything's OK" by Al Green

In 2003, The Reverend Al Green returned to the secular music world after a nearly 25 year hiatus with I Can't Stop, an amazing return to form that brought Willie Mitchell and company from the Hi Records years back to the forefront of Green's recordings. I Can't Stop was an amazing achievement for Gr... [More]

"Human After All" by Daft Punk

When Daft Punk made their loyal following of dance obsessives wait four years after the brilliant Homework, at least that long layover paid off with the even better Discovery. Well, it's been another four excruciating years waiting for the inevitable Daft Punk masterpiece and what has arrived after... [More]

"Woman King EP" by Iron & Wine

So is Sam Beam ever gonna make a record that isn't astounding or what? After two albums and an EP's worth of material that is at once subtly haunting, and overpoweringly emotional, Beam shows no signs of stopping. The new 24 minute EP Woman King, finds Beam elaborating on his considerable strengths... [More]

"Bloodstains Across Your Face In Decline" by The Holy Mountain

Fucking old school speed hardcore. Side stepping the shit trails of Asshole Parade and Acrid, Florida's The Holy Mountain are bloodthirsty crazy fuckers waiting too attack your ears with the ravaging, sloppy fuckitude of an angry hippopotamus. The vocals actually remind me of my friend Josh Smith's... [More]

"Meltdown" by Ash

Ash is something of an anomaly. I've always said of them that they can never decide what kind of band they want to be, and this is their greatest strength. They're definitely not an emo act, they've been around since the early 90s (well before the term was coined) yet their music shares elements in... [More]

"No Wow" by The Kills

The duo of W and Hotel, more formerly known as The Kills, are back with their bluesy garage-punk formula and a sophomore release in tow called No Wow. For those of you who didn't pay attention to The Kills in 2003 when they released their much buzzed about debut Keep On Your Mean Side, No Wow is a p... [More]

"Oh God, The Aftermath" by Norma Jean

Like most God-fearing citizens on the world I always thought that Christian metal sucked big hairy baboon balls. The evidence is certainly out there in spades - Stryper (too gay to discuss) and don't even get me started on P.O.D. It's always struck me as an odd phenomenon that most decent, normal se... [More]

"Frances The Mute" by Mars Volta

In a strange twist of fate it seems that radio has killed the underground star. Contrary to The Buggle's paranoid premonition of old, The Mars Volta are rising from the ashes and there looks to be no stopping their experi-metal/Hispanic/prog-core from tripping on out there and infecting the minds of...

"Some Cities" by Doves

Doves (not the Doves) have at last proven with Some Cities that they are indeed human. Their first two releases Lost Souls and The Last Broadcast were near perfect slices of grand Brit-pop in the tradition of Radiohead and Coldplay. Doves, by the same token, were even a little bit more hip for lack... [More]

"Kasabian" by Kasabian

Newest UK export Kasabian are yet another also ran in the great race of bands that they sound similar to, but not as good as. First track and newest single "Club Foot" tries desperately to bowl you over with its snappy bass line and overly frantic vocals, but this isn't anything new to people who ar... [More]

"What To Do When You Are Dead" by Armor For Sleep

This band should change their name to "Music" For Sleep. What do they mean by Armor For Sleep anyway? Could caffeine be some sort of Armor to protect you from the evils of sleep? Or perhaps the reference is more akin to slipping between the sheets dressed like a hockey goalie to protect one from bad... [More]
