Howling Bells - Radio Wars - Review Juanita Stein and her trio of impossibly beautiful bandmates return with an album so formless it’s barely recognisable as the product of one of the decade’s most promising debutante bands. Sydney’s Howling Bells were one of the underrated treasures of 2006. Their self-titled debut album of haunting waltzes, country balladry, [...] Eels – End Times Review Recently divorced and having taken a substantial break from the studio, Mr. E and his talented backing band’s latest offering End Times is a glance into the soul of a singer going through emotional turmoil. Eels could never be accused of being overly chirpy, but in End Times they dive headlong [...] Alesana - The Emptiness Review On the surface of things Alesana are just another one of those irritatingly popular American screamo bands. The kind of group that relies too heavily on a bloke screaming like a dying crow during the chorus and with midsections designed for synchronised headbanging and faux instrument throwing when playing live. But, [...] OK Go - ‘Blue Colour of the Sky’ Review OK Go have been scratching at the walls of stardom for the better part of a decade. The band’s welcoming brand of power pop ought to have seen them join Weezer, Teenage Fanclub and The Postal Service in blaring out across college campuses the world over. But [...] Lostprophets - ‘The Betrayed’ So, 2010. No hover-boards, robots or flying cars yet, but look a little closer, and I’ll bet you find all that good stuff we’re getting used to is evolving and improving rapidly. Mobile phones, computers, internet… and Lostprophets. January 18th 2010 brings the release of their 4th studio album, ‘The Betrayed’. Consisting of [...] Review: Train - “Save Me, San Francisco” Honestly, I have been getting pretty weary of Train. A huge fan of their first couple records, I found their subsequent ones to be hit and miss. Their last one, 2006’s “For Me, It’s You”, was a real snoozefest – more fun could be had watching CSPAN. Making matters [...] Hedley - The Show Must Go Review I’m going to make no bones about this, I love Hedley, always have, so this review will be more than extremely biased in many people’s eyes. So obviously when I heard that the four piece were going to make a new album, I was over the moon. The finished [...] Skillet ‘Awake’ Review Its funny how things go; SKILLET, a Christian rock band having now released seven CD’s with the last two (“Collide” and “Comatose”) getting Grammy nominations and then in 2008 they add a new female drummer/vocalist Jen Ledger due to former drummer Lori Peters retirement. SKILLET’s new release “Awake” will come this month (August 25) [...] Sick Puppies is an Australian three-piece band formed in 1997 in a music room of Mosman High School. Since then, the band has put out an EP (short-length album) and three CDs, including Tri-Polar. After some initial rotations, the band’s line-up is currently cemented, with guitarist Shimon Moore, bassist Emma Anzai and drummer Mark Goodwin. [...] We The Kings - Smile Kid - Album Review I like to divide up the genre of pop punk into two subcategories. On one hand, you have the deep and profound bands – those like Say Anything or Brand New – and on the other, you have the plentiful mass of sunny-eyed, catchy bands – ala [...] |
