This really actually is a full 11 song CD, but fits more in with the eps because it is only 5 recorded songs and then six live/instrumental versions of those same songs. It is also very economically priced wherever you get it. The production is a little bit on the DIY side, but that is…
Upside Down Room’s long out of print ep is back. I missed this the first time around and it has been virtually impossible to find up until now. The new version has been re-mastered with two bonus tracks added along with updated artwork. I’m not sure where the bonus tracks are from, but they sound…
Luxury’s 2005 release starts out soothing, warming and softly engaging… with minimal guitar, cymbal and drum work. Lee Bozeman’s vocals come into play and that distinct Luxury vibe takes over. The distortion bleeds in with a soft and casual stream and the vocals accent the sounds that permeate my listening space. Luxury is a one-of-a-kind…
The fine folks are Intense Millennium Records have re-mastered and re-released this landmark Christian metal record. In the late 80’s when hair metal was the rage, Bloodgood drops this second release and makes a name for themselves. If you remember these guys when they were first around, they looked more like a hair metal band,…
As a former bass guitar player myself (no time now!), I have followed Trip Wamsley for a while. At one point, he was somehow connected to Caedmon’s Call – but if that is a bad thing to you, don’t worry. Trip’s music is spaced out bass jams that even non-bass players love. I can’t tell…
Dann Gunn, formerly of R.E.X. Recording artist Velocipede – is still active in music. This ep is his latest release. Dann is still loud and in your face, but a bit less rough around the edges. This also sounds a bit more industrial than past recordings. Dann has a strong voice that tends to set…
I chose to review this Crumbächer disc, but it should be noted that Escape From the Fallen Planet should be re-mastered and available by the time you read this. I wanted to cover Thunder Beach simply because although it might not be their most popular piece of work, it was the first Christian album that…
Ric Alba released this single track a couple of months ago and it flows perfectly as if he never stopped making music. This could have easily fit on Holes In the Floor of Heaven. It sounds remarkable in its degree of emotion and the depth of what he is trying to communicate. One of the…
Sungrazerr has released three more tracks of sonic brilliance. This little E.P. is titled I Don’t Need A Lot of Love, Just A Steady Supply. The first track up is “They Listen” with a hearty dose of tense and vague wondering as we listen to the fuzzed out communications of what appears to be air…
Been waiting along time for this one – the bands third full length – worth the wait. Epic melodic Punk Rock, great production, layered vocal harmonies, technical guitar parts, drummer is always amazing, all that you’d expect from these guys by now. Still have the Bad Religion meets Lagwagon vibe, but lyrically way more heart…
