July 25, 2006 – 7:38 pm | No Comment

I’m not sure whether or not there is backlash or lack of support for the album due to overhyping or general Jack White-iness, but Broken Boy Soldiers is one of the best albums of the …

Priestess “Run Home” Video

Though the band offers up one of the year’s best albums, the video for the single “Run Home” is slightly mediocre. But the good kind of mediocre…if such a kind exists:

Everclear “Welcome to the Drama Club”
July 24, 2006 – 11:18 pm | One Comment

Everclear’s new album Welcome to the Drama Club is a wasted effort from a nonexistent band past its prime. While such a criticism might be merited, actually listening to the album proves it wrong. …

Silversun Pickups “Carnavas” Review

“In the brutally cold world of Big Rock Biz, there’s something very comforting about just knowing that a band like L.A.’s Silversun Pickups exist.” Something tells me that the band’s press release has an …

Tom Petty on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
July 21, 2006 – 4:34 pm | 3 Comments

Since first hearing the single I’ve heard many comparisons with ZZ Top, but I have a differing opinion, I think it sounds like George Thorogood. At least the part that Petty plays, as it …

In preparation for a new album, it becomes fitting to revisit an artists older work, and in doing so various thoughts and memories are too revisited. Re-experiencing Kaki King’s live performances revealed …

Brand New Heavies “Get Used To It”
July 20, 2006 – 7:43 pm | No Comment

Popular early 90s funk revivalists The Brand New Heavies new album Get Used To It jumps straight into a sound that precedes the group wherever it goes; acid jazz, lounge funk or even soulful grooves, …

Supersuckers: “Paid EP” Update
July 20, 2006 – 9:00 am | No Comment

I love the Supersuckers. The band performs a non-stop freight train of gritty, liquored up and rubbed down countra-fied rock. The band’s new EP, Paid, sports some great tracks which follow last years …

Bands To Watch – Trainwreck Riders
July 19, 2006 – 4:30 pm | No Comment

Unfortunately I wrote the Trainwreck Riders off the first time I heard the band. I watched the video for the track “Slow Motion Cowboy” and thought that it was cheesy, a bit tacky and …
