One 2011 release that snuck up on me out of nowhere is the latest from She Wants Revenge , tentatively due at the end of May. Besides all the industrial metal albums coming out this spring, Valley Heart is probably my most anticipated release this year. A co-worker of mine suggested them to me right before their first EP came out in late 2005 and I’ve been in love with them ever since. Dark, disturbing yet still sensual and seductive with lyrical content to match, […]

I read AP’s “100 Bands You Need To Know in 2011” so you don’t have to.
You’re welcome. I do not buy a lot of magazines anymore. All of my music news I can usually get from the interwebs and I’m totally fine with that. I was out and about the other day and saw the latest issue of AP which was the annual “100 bands you need to know in 2011” and like a sucker, I bought it. At the very least, this issue is good for laugh and I get to make myself feel […]
Oasis 2.0
I’ve always been Team Liam. Let’s just clear that up right away, shall we? However, I do thoroughly believe that Liam Gallagher works at his best with brother Noel at his side. Does Beady Eye’s debut, Different Gear, Still Speeding, prove my point? Sort of. We all know that Noel was the driving force behind Oasis’s biggest hits. Liam’s contributions were minimal at best (“Little James”, “Songbird”, and “The Meaning of Soul” to name a few) but definitely memorable. When […]

I never thought I would like a song that Ani Difranco had any part of but here I am bobbing my head along to “Blackbird and the Fox” off of Dynamite Steps, the latest from Twilight Singers. Thanks a lot, Greg Dulli. It’s been almost 5 years since their last, Powder Burns, dropped and it sounds as if Dulli and co. haven’t skipped a beat. Twilight Singers make the kind of music I love: hard to describe. It’s a mixture […]
Foo Fighters bring the Rawk! (And Lemmy)
I love waking up to news that bands I knew were working on new material I was excited about not only have a set release date, but a new video to boot. Hi Foo Fighters, I’ve missed you. If you’re a fan of Foo Fighters and you’ve been living under a rock for the past 6 months, then you have a lot to be excited for . Their 7th studio album is done and ready to be unleashed on April 12th. It was produced by Butch […]
Welcome Back Trail Of Dead!
Let me be the first to say welcome back …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead. Source Codes & Tags and Worlds Apart are two of the most epic albums any band could create back to back and then these Texans just went nowhere. The follow-up’s (2006’s So Divided and 2009’s The Century of Self) felt like a band that lost their moo. There were moments on each and Self definitely felt a little like the Dead […]
