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 [...] 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 [...] Ace Hood - Ruthless Review The Broward County monster does once again a second time in a row, this time less ‘Gutta’ and more ‘Ruthless.’ Since the last album, Ace has been known for his lyrical punchlines and furious delivery, there is no doubt or question in this young artist’s talent. Between Khaled and We the [...] 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) [...] Natalie Imbruglia Come to Life Review Back in 1997, Natalie Imbruglia took the world by storm; earning a Grammy nomination for debut LP ‘Left of the Middle’ and breaking airplay records with its lead single ‘Torn’. While television soap stars had previously made a successful crossover to pop music, it seemed Imbruglia was different. Here was [...] Luke Bryan Doin’ My Thing Review The question “What is country?” is eternal, and not just among nerdy music critics. Contemporary country is filled with songs about what it means to be country. Some are defensive, some inclusive, and some pander to their audience in an obvious attempt for sales. Luke Bryan’s answer to the question, [...] |
