Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Comments

There’s been a huge burst of popularity throughout the last couple years in one of the many branches of the hardcore genre that blends the catchy step of power pop music, reminiscent of Forever The Sickest Kids, Nevershoutnever, and many others, and the heavy riffs and breakdowns that you would find in your typical hardcore [...]

AVI BUFFALO – ALBUM REVIEW

Saturday, May 1, 2010

Comments

Avi Buffalo, a band stemming from Long Beach, California, may be relatively new on the music scene, but they’re already measuring up to their predecessors! It’s hard to believe that lead vocalists, Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg, as well as the others in the band, are barely out of high school. The self-titled album, Avi Buffalo, [...]

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Comments

It’s been a while since we heard new music from this California quintet but if this is just a sign of what is to come, then Rooney is definitely going to be putting their name back on the map. The Wild one may be short but provides some great tracks and a sound that may have [...]

AS TALL AS LIONS’ YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU – ALBUM REVIEW

Sunday, November 15, 2009

Comments

The most intriguing techniques of music is the time and maturity built upon a follow-up. It’s what comes next, it’s waiting in baited breathe. It’s the dreams fulfilled, and the dreams lost. If it will touch anyone’s life, or even reach anyone’s ears. If it will be the same, or if it will be entirely [...]

Thursday, October 22, 2009

Close your eyes. Envision yourself driving down the California coastline, windows down, wind blowing through your hair. Stopping at every scenic point, just taking all of the environment in, seeing the ocean, watching the others drive by from point to point, wherever they may need to go. Now open your eyes. Ben Gibbard has successfully captured [...]

Have you ever stepped into an album so far that it feels like you’ve ventured out of your living room and into a place or a time that you’ve never been to previously? I get like that sometimes. Music makes me feel like I’ve been to places and in certain scenarios that I’ve [...]
