America - GWAR Slave Pit Artists Go Beserk in Frenzy of Creativity, Human Race in Complete Awe SLAVE PIT ARTISTS GO BERSERK IN FRENZY OF CREATIVITY�"HUMAN RACE IN COMPLETE AWE GWAR’s “AMERICA MUST BE DESTROYED” DELUXE EDITION WITH “TOUR DE SCUM” AND “PHALLUS IN WONDERLAND” OUT NOW! You might think that servicing the needs of GWAR in this, the midst of their 25th Anniversary Tour would be a full-time job. And it is! But for the artists of Slave Pit Inc., the production company that created and maintains GWAR lust for all things rubber, a constant slew of side-projects is business as usual. This holiday season sees the artists behind the most notorious band in metal history involved in... Groove Armada - Groove Armada - I Won't Kneel Andy Cato and Tom Findlay funkmaster fingertips recreate and continue to stylishly evolve with Groove Armada�s stunning new release 'I Won�t Kneel�. Collaborating with female input from SaintSaviour, whose distinct vocal sound is slightly reminiscent of a young Kate Bush. The track is crafted to create a unique new sound which GA look like they are developing - progressing for future productions? SaintSaviour�s sparkling melodies gives the track an artic presence - the ideal match to compliment the keyboard grooves Cato/Findlay lay down.. Bloody Beetroots remix adds a harmonious, lighter take to GA�s track, Joe & Will remix adds heavier basslines, a... 3 - 3 - Revisions (2009) Resolve had to happen sooner or later. First and foremost, The Eppard's didn't stop at Josh. Secondly, and most importantly for Joey, Josh Eppard's (Weerd Science, Coheed and Cambria) brother, an effortless hybrid of Pop Rock/Metal had to come to the surface and invade our ear. Not to say this is my dig, but without a doubt Revisions has taste. To be quite honest, genrification is far too complex an issue. Light guitar picking is just as common on this recording as over stuffed melodic distortion on this album. Songs like "Rabid Animals" and "The Better Half Of Me" have an energetic acousti-crunch value. While "Fable" is more like Savage... STAGE - The King Blues to headline F.A.K.E. The King Blues, Arrows Of Love, Gaggle, The Homosexuals, Pocket Lips and many more acts have been confirmed to perform at F.A.K.E., the first of a brand new series of live music nights at the Brixton Fridge on Friday November 13th. Andrew Czezowski and Susan Carrington, who founded the legendary punk Roxy Club in the 70�s before creating the Brixton Fridge in 1981, return to their roots under the flag of F.A.K.E., featuring a host of cutting edge acts live on The Fridge�s two music stages. F.A.K.E. will be an epicentre for the cream of the emerging international underground who are pushing... David Bazan - David Bazan - Curse Your Branches Following the demise of Christian indie rockers Pedro the Lion, the project's brain trust, David Bazan, pursued a solo career that's so far culminated in the Fewer Moving Parts EP and now Curse Your Branches, his debut full-length as a solo artist. The changes between this work and his former band are many. The moral parables that were central to his previous band have been replaced with frank lyrics about Bazan's struggle with alcoholism and his newfound agnosticism. Musically, Pedro the Lion's simple but sturdy guitars have been replaced with sterilizing studio tinkering, resulting, at times, in too many ideas...

Young Republic - Young Republic - Balletesque “Balletesque” is the sophomore full length album from the Tennessee six piece and it’s an intriguing mix of melodic indie, country, blues, jazzy brass (which gives the odd track a ska feel) and classical with a strong string sound. The album fizzles with energy and the influences come thick and fast; Arcade Fire, The White Stripes, Tom Waits, Arctic Monkeys, but there are older sounds too; tracks like ‘Sam Clemens’ sounds like Jack White doing The Beatles with a string accompaniment. The record is full of lovely classical arrangements and this combination with the brass and the more contemporary sound of... 3 - 3 - Revisions (2009) Resolve had to happen sooner or later.

Okay!"Ready to please, the Bay Area alt-folkster delivers a one-two punch with following tracks "Cool Yourself" and the husky "When We Swam," which recall the bubbly syncopations of her crowd-pleasing 2008 release, We Brave Bee Stings and All.Here, Nguyen is back in upbeat, noodling guitar form, with her pen still... |
