Santogold
Thu, 01 May 2008 10:52:12
Santogold is about to phunk yo' shit up, literally. On her self-titled debut, Miss Santi White, the record label rep turned punk-reggae-electro-goddess, throws convention out the window. Her smooth wail crescendos from a hip hop flow to a gravelly, punk rock growl. Amidst all of the genre mashing, ...more
Aperture for Departure
Mon, 14 Apr 2008 15:38:43
If you need precious, yet painfully pretty sonic accoutrement to that quiet, lazy, and ultimately cloudy day that you are having, then may I suggest Strangers Die Every Day and their instrumental, "classical goth" opus, Aperture For Departure? Consisting of a bassist, drummer, cellist, and ...more
The Black Swan
Thu, 03 Apr 2008 10:07:36
If you want to keep up with St. Louis's Story Of The Year, then you better chug a few cans of Red Bull (or your energy drink of choice) before submerging yourself in the three chord chaos that populates much of The Black Swan. You'll barely make it out alive after album opener, the supersized anthem ...more
Slipknot's Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses is not just a record. It's a statement. So many nay-sayers wanted to count Slipknot out: fickle fans, the press and various detractors—religious and otherwise. After the band's most violent, brutal and downright evil offering, Iowa, everything seemed ...more
Great White Whale
Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:53:49
Whimsical, expansive rock with androgynous, wailing vocals reigns supreme on Secret & Whisper's Great White Whale. If you're a diehard fan of the dramatic screamo scene and are proud to sport that Chiodos tee, then S&W will quickly rise to the ranks of your new favorite band faster than you can say, ...more
Real Emotional Trash
Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:05:19
Despite their rightful reputation as one of the most important bands in the indie-rock history books, Pavement still has a tendency to be polarizing. What's more, after making their full-length debut with the landmark Slanted & Enchanted, they were bound to be dogged by allegations of decline ...more
Ego Trippin'
Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:14:35
Gangsters don't die, they get chubby, then they move to Miami. From the easy-does-it approach Snoop employs on Ego Trippin', it sounds like he's already made his down payment on a bungalow in Coral Gables. Less lazy than it is leisurely, Snoop sounds like a hustler turning the page to a more ...more
The NOLA (New Orleans, LA) sound that bands like Down built their reps upon is continually done proud by Soilent Green. But Soilent Green spikes the formula with some well-worn death metal chops. Inevitable Collapse In The Presence Of Conviction–that was quite a mouthful of word soup- trudges ...more
Gods of the Earth
Tue, 04 Mar 2008 07:28:52
When Age Of Winter, The Sword’s debut, impacted the planet back in 2006, hipsters and headbanger’s alike were transfixed by the band’s channeling of Black Sabbath and use of vintage equipment to achieve a classic rawk sound. The Sword continues on that same beaten path on Gods Of The Earth, an ...more
