If you’re not hip to Kimbra’s work (independent of that damn Gotye song) yet, you need to familiarize yourself.

Metal Monday Volume 89 (9.24.12)

Metal Monday Volume 89 (9.24.12)

It’s refreshing to hear bands like Battlecross and now Legacy Of Disorder putting out metal albums with absolutely no gimmicks. They’re the kinds of albums that are pure thrash and all about the metal. On their latest, Last Man Standing, New Zealand’s Legacy Of Disorder come off as the second coming of Metallica with a slightly harder edge.

The Blerd13 with…Kerretta!

As my bestie describes Kerretta , they’re not as mellow as Mogwai and not quite as heavy as Isis. They’re somewhere in the middle meaning in the broad musical spectrum, they’re almost perfect.

Pajama Club’s self-titled debut album arrives in about six weeks […]

"Intriguer" Marks Crowded House Return: Album Due in June

When most bands reunite after a long absence, they reunite and then implode yet again. Thankfully, with Crowded House, that is not the case. My favorite New Zealanders (now with one black guy who looks like this guy I used to work with named Chris) reappeared in 2007 after an absence of nearly fifteen years. While the resulting album, “Time on Earth” wasn’t the equal of past efforts, it was a solid album, and I was fortunate enough to see […]
