Since we talked about Seventh Circle’s album The Struggle in the interview, I figured we would just review The Struggle Remixes here. Below is the review, straight from Adam Pederson so you get the full scoop from the artist himself. There is one remix of each track from the album and it’s about 62 1/2…
Against all odds, this classic album by Sincerely Paul has been re-issued… and one sweet re-issue it is! Not only do you get the full original album re-mastered, you also get a full extra disc of bonus material. Grieve has been reviewed here before, so I’ll just briefly touch on the re-mastering on disc one:…
GLENN ROWLANDSLIVING LIGHT EP2009 IndependentPurchase: MySpace.comReviewed by: Matt Crosslin This is called a companion disc to Red Road and “a rock and roll tribute to the visions of Holy Man Black Elk.” I would agree with both. If you like Glenn’s solo discs, or classic-rock inspired hard rock that has an eclectic streak, this will…
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…
MONEY ON THE DEADMONEY ON THE DEAD2009 IndependentPurchase: MySpace.comReview by: Matt Crosslin My first reaction to listening to this album was that this would be a group that you would probably find on Brainstorm Records, if they still existed today. It is one of those albums that combines many of the elements that also influenced…
VIGILANTES OF LOVELIVE AT EDDIES2009 IndependentPurchase: BillMallonee.netReview by: Steve Ruff This download is the deal of the month for sure. This show was recorded at Eddie’s Attic in Decatur, GA on January 23, 2009. This is straight from the soundboard to tickle your little ears. This one has 14 songs in total and is only…
MOTONAUT THE NOW AND THE NOT YET 2008 Independent Purchase: www.motonaut.info Review by: Steve Ruff I first heard about these guys when they sent Down The Line a friend request on MySpace. If I remember correctly they were Michael Knott fans and said something to that effect on their request. I checked out their MySpace…
THE SOUND GALLERY UMBRA 2008 Independent Purchase: MySpace Review by: Steve Ruff The Sound Gallery is unique. This is Herb Grimaud Jr.’s band, and he is the sole member. I remembered Herb from when he played with The Violet Burning several years ago. I didn‘t know what to expect from the music, but the stuff…
WINDY LYRE OVERFLOW 2008 Independent CD-R Purchase: MySpace Review by: Steve Ruff This is Windy Lyre’s second album. Her first was on Blonde Vinyl back in 1991, and this is a beautiful follow up. Windy’s vocals are ethereal and remind me of the Cocteau Twins, maybe even Natalie Merchant from 10,000 Maniacs. She has an…
GLENN ROWLANDS RED ROAD 2008 Independent glennrowlands.bandcage.com Review by: Matt Crosslin The common reaction that I get when I mention this new Glenn Rowlands disc to people is: “that name sounds familiar – but I can’t remember where.” Glenn was an underground name back in the late 80s and early 90s. He was in the…
