Music Review
Energetic alternative rock with some punk and reggae influences. Really catchy stuff – came in last minute, so I wish I had more room to write. These guys sound modern without going “generic pop-punk wanna-be.” If more flavor-of-the-month bands sounded like this instead, there would be more hope for the business. Almost sounds like they…
Obviously we are reviewing the last King’s X record a couple of years after it came out, but it is still the most recent addition so I hope that is okay. This latest King’s X could have been a release full of singles in my opinion. Every track on this record was a stand out,…
This is one of those records that was very defining for me as a teenager. I clearly remember getting it as a cassette, and I remember being blown away for a couple of reasons. I was stunned at the lyrical poetry that was inside, and I was excited at how different it was musically when…
Originally intended as the first part of a trilogy, Pain was a worthy release by this band when they were just getting started. I still think it was an edgy decision to open the album with a Dylan song, especially in Christian music circles circa 1989. The thing I loved about Veil of Ashes was…
I have read many labels used to describe the music of The Langley Sisters: folk rock, country, show tunes, even roaring 20’s/30’s type pop show tunes. If you can imagine all of those rolled up into one style that really does work, then you have the sound of The Langley Sisters in a nut shell.…
Josh Dooley and company return with a mostly instrumental album. A few songs contain some vocals, but this album is mostly focused on Josh’s guitar playing and song writing. And what a beautiful record that makes. The opening song “Avalon” is worth the price for the album alone. But MAP keeps the quality up for…
I listen to a lot of Bill Mallonee, and recently I went back and gave this download another spin. This was the last incarnation of VoL before Jon Guthrie passed away so suddenly, and man I tell ya, these guys (and gal) were tight! This live recording was pulled directly through the soundboard at Eddie’s…
I chose to review War Of Ages first full length record for three reasons. One, Dave Quiggle (who we interviewed) did the cover art. Two, it’s Easter and this is what I consider praise music, and three, this record opens up with one of the best quotes ever; “The greatest single cause of atheism in…
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.…
This is considered by many to be the quintessential release by LS Underground, I think the newest PTSD is just as good (if not better), but we reviewed that too. THE GRAPE PROPHET IS AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AGAIN, that’s why I thought we should cover it here. This release was what made music in the…
