Touche Amore, “DNA (live)”: The Viewfinder Review
For those who are new to Touche Amore (haven’t seen them live), their newly released (live) music video for “ DNA” off the soon to be released Is Survived By is a great glimpse into their powerful, moving live performances. Frontman Jeremy Blohm, paces anxiously throughout the duration of the 2 plus minutes of feverous guitar work and drum pulsing adding his screams and pleas to the beautiful churning behind him. Unlike, their first single “ Just Exist” which was more melodic compared […]

Ministry, “PermaWar”: The Viewfinder Review
As we learned from Uncle Al’s biography (Reviewed by us here ), Master Jourgensen tends to do everything ass backwards. It should come as no surprise then that first single “PermaWar”, off of Ministry’s upcoming final album From Beer To Eternity, is a slab of nostalgia-fueled heaviness that at times hearkens back to the band’s early goth days (Especially the chorus). In the vein of Relapse but a little more in tune with “Lieslieslies” and the more political Rio Grande Blood […]
The Singles Bar: Tears for Fears, “Ready to Start”
New Wave legends Tears for Fears surprised fans with their first new recording in nine years: a cover of Arcade Fire’s “Ready to Start.” It might be crazy to call a band with 16 U.K. Top 40 hits “underrated,” but Tears for Fears – to this writer – have only seemed to earn the respect they truly deserve in recent times. In the last decade, Gary Jules and Michael Andrews had a U.K. chart-topper with a mournful cover of the band’s “ Mad World ,” […]

New Release Report 8/27/13
The last week of August brings forth a trio of releases from some artists that I either a) Never cared about, b) Used to love but don’t care about now, and c) Kinda sort of like but don’t care about anymore. As for a): There is something about Avenged Sevenfold that I vehemently hate. Is it that they’re headlining over deftones and Ghost on their upcoming tour or is it because, frankly, their music is awful? Regardless of my opinion, […]
The Viewfinder: Bad Rabbits, “Dance with Me”
Despite having just wrapped up a tour to support their American Love LP, Boston’s Bad Rabbits are already dishing out new music. Last week, the band dropped the new single, “Dance with Me,” from their forthcoming LP produced by the king of new jack swing, Mr. Teddy Riley. You can read more about that project in our interview with the band . For now, here’s a brand new video for “ Dance with Me ,” featuring Clinton Sparks. The video vividly captures the party vibe of “Dance with […]
Metal Monday Volume 137 (8.26.13)
As far as essential metal albums of 2013 goes, A Storm Of Light’s masterful Nations To Flames easily sits at the top of that list. On their latest the “metal alchemists” continue what began with 2008’s And We Wept the Black Ocean Within but go for shorter song structures but a no less dense soundscape overall. From the Ministry meets Sepultura thunder of opener “Fall” through to the ethereal chaos of “The Year Is One” which closes out the album, A […]
