It took me a while to come around to checking this out. A ton of mixed reviews by Indie Rock Snobs and disgruntled Post Hard Core fans battling it out online. Me being neither just wasn’t in the mood for either musical affair. I love this band, the one and only time I saw them…
Dallas Taylor, former Underoath (was never much a fan) vocalist formed Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster in 2004 and released I in 2005. II followed in 2007, both stellar albums. Dallas is back with a new Maylene album and a new band line up (Taylor is the only returning member). III goes with the…
Remember Blaster The Rocket Man (Boy)? Hands down one of the Punkest things to hit the Christian market since Scaterd Few! Vocalist DanielPeterson (Aka Oto Bott) has another band that is just as amazing! This band is the real deal, that controlled chaos that makes real Punk Rock so wonderful. Fans of such creative genius…
I am a huge fan of Horror Punk! The Misfits are easily in my top 20 all time greatest bands list, with both Danzig and Michale Graves on vocals, I like ’em both the same. I find it to be one of the last true Punk Rock Scenes out there, very DIY, core fans, small…
I can’t say enough about this band, they’ve changed my life. It was what my musical appetite was craving at the time I bought it and it satisfied like a piece of chocolate after a meal. It’s first and foremost rock, it’s Americana, it’s punk, it’s spiritual, it’s folk, it’s lyrical, it’s raw, and passionate.…
Bride’s last album, and what an album it is! It pulls sounds from throughout the history of the band creating a new sound. It’s one of the most dynamic and raw albums these veterans of rock have released, a very live feel to this album, but there is a lot of great studio moments all…
I saw these guys at the first TomFest and they blew me away! I got to hang out with them, we talked a lot about the Ramones, in fact I saw the Ramones in San Francisco the same night I started my drive to Tomfest! I’ve seen and heard many bands in what’s been dubbed…
The Gig in Diamond Bar, Ca The Crucified, first show since 1995, and a testimony of Faith from Sonny of P.O.D. Free Show!!!! Sonny, looking as stoked and amazed as I was, introduces with a “I can’t believe it….The Crucified!”. The band kicks off with the intro to “Hateworld”, Mark Salomon takes the stage, looks…
RONALD OF ORANGEBRUSH AWAY THE COBWEBS EP2009 Velvet Blue MusicPurchase: VelvetBlueMusic.comReviewed by: Joshua Lory Yet Another Ronnie Martin project, Ronald Of Orange is in the vein of the Rainbow Rider stuff he did way back in 1993, adding guitar and other instrumentation to his signature sound. This project, to me, spans a history of British…
THE LASSIE FOUNDATION JETSTREAMS / THREE WHEELS EP2008 IndependentPurchase: LassieFoundation.comReviewed by: Joshua Lory This E.P. is a wonderful return to form, back to the spacey feedback pop of the California E.P. and Pacifico album. The blues driven “Jetstreams” is a fantastic opener, I like how they held off the drums until about three minutes into…
