City Of Fire, Trial Through Fire: Album Review
Trial Through Fire is an appropriate title for City Of Fire’s sophomore outing because what started out so pure and filled with so much hope became this lengthy ordeal that resulted in an album that quietly dropped with barely a whimper back in April of this year. The drama aside of a Pledgemusic campaign that launched in 2011 and only just came to fruition in 2013 aside, a whimper is definitely not the kind of sound you’ll be hearing from […]
Start Spreading the News: Julian Velard Plans New York-Based Concept LP
When last we heard from Julian Velard, one of the best and most underrated singer-songwriters in the pop game, he’d dashed off a quick but captivating EP, Person of Interest , last fall. Since then, he’s kept a low profile, popping up as musical entertainment on a few NPR shows here and there and performing with fellow singer-songwriter Ari Hest as part of the soft-rock cover act The Jewbadours . The silence finally ends this month, with a forthcoming album out this year and a […]

Karl Middleton of earthtone9: The Popblerd Interview!
You might know Karl Middleton as the current vocalist of earthtone9 and Blackstorm or from his past work with Twin Zero, The Blueprint, or This Is Menace. However you may have heard him, one fact remains: the man is a powerhouse behind the mic. Over the years, Middleton has continually delivered impassioned vocals for a number of the UK’s finest underground heavy acts and he recently took some time to chat with Pop!Blerd about the return of earthtone9: Why was […]
Mike Doughty Revisits Soul Coughing: Thanks To You!
The moment all Soul Coughing fans have been waiting for is here. Sort of. Former vocalist Mike Doughty has decided to revisit his past with the help of Pledgemusic.com for “Soul Coughing Songs: Reimagined”. According to the pledge page, not a note has been written and Doughty himself has no idea how it’s going to sound but if you’ve been a constant fan of his post-SC offerings (As we have been in the Popblerd office) then you have some idea of […]
earthtone9, IV: The Spin Cycle Review
IV is the definitive album for a band that you’ve probably never heard of. For the uninitiated, earthtone9 has been defying the odds since the early aughts. With a trio of magnificent studio albums and a few EP’s, earthtone9 were ahead of their time back in the day and ever since their reformation in 2010 they’ve continued the trend. “March Of The Yeti” slays immediately and states defiantly that the band is indeed back with a heavy riff that complements […]
IAMX, The Unified Field: The Spin Cycle Review
The next evolution of trip hop comes in the form of IAMX which is fitting seeing that mastermind Chris Corner ushered in a similar trend when his former outfit, Sneaker Pimps, paved a new electronic revolution after a void was left by Portishead and Massive Attack. On their most recent Pledgemusic-funded The Unified Field, IAMX expand their range even more to give listeners the feeling that if Dead Can Dance began in 2013, they’d probably sound similar to IAMX. But […]

Thirteen Years Since “Hymns”, Corey Glover is Returning with a New Album (and You Can Contribute!)
I can’t say that Living Colour was the band that introduced me to hard rock (Motley Crue owns that particular distinction), but they were the first hard rock band I saw that LOOKED like me, and to a teenager that’s just getting into music, this was extremely valuable when it came to expanding my horizons. I was pretty gutted when they split after 1993’s (EXCELLENT) Stain, but the individual members kept quite busy for the next decade or so before […]
