Seasick Steve - Man From Another Time
Clearly there's a great read waiting if Seasick ever decides to pen his memoirs; in the meantime the few chapters set to music here provide a riveting primer.
7dayBinge
7dayBinge is Todd Harrell of 3 Doors Down, Jon Nicholson of Muzik Mafia, Jon Nicholson from Kid Rock's back up band on lead guitar and Shannon Boone. Together they create a southern rock disc with a few tunes a little more rock than others.
Triptykon - Eparistera Daimones
After parting ways with the legendary Celtic Frost, singer/guitarist Tom Gabriel Fischer told an interviewer that his next project would "sound as close to Celtic Frost as is humanly possible." If that was really his goal, he's accomplished it with Triptykon
First Look: Violent Soho
After what seems to have been decades of uninspired pop, Violent Soho explodes on the music scene with a vengeance, proving that once again, Australia pumps out hardcore pop with universal appeal.
Karnivool - Sound Awake
Because the songs are so well constructed, this album wouldn't be a bad step for the rock fan looking to take the first steps into more progressive territory. I'd say Karnivool pretty much knocked it out of the park on "Sound Awake"
Graves Brothers Deluxe - San Malo
The thing about this band and this album is that as you go through it, you realize you're hearing something completely different. If everyone sounded like a Grammy winner, (that is to say, bland and safe), music wouldn't be worth exploring.
HIM - Screamworks
Often, the material sounds like it was cooked up in a secret lab somewhere, engineered for the twin purposes of taking over American rock radio and landing the soundtrack to the next Twilight movie.
On The Record: Jimi Hendrix, The Love Me Nots, and Panther
Kevin takes a look and listen at new vinyl releases from Jimi Hendrix, The Love Me Nots, and Panther in this latest edition of On The Record.
Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune
In a move that's a major treat for Hendrix fans and rock historians, the vaults have been scoured to come up with a dozen previously unreleased cuts for Valleys of Neptune. All of the songs here have been heard before but in different forms.
