Ashley Park – The Secretariat Motor Hotel – CD (Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records) Imagine being transported to a strange new world where everything is made out of gray clay. The trees are gray blobs. The houses are gray blobs. And in the world of Ashley...
The Apparitions – Oxygen Think Tank – CD
The Apparitions – Oxygen Think Tank – CD (The Apparitions) From the opening lyric, visions of Pere Ubucame to mind. The Apparitions have a quirky late ’80s/early ’90s sound with distinctive vocals, which is the main reason they remind me...
The Angels of Light – Everything is Good Here – CD
The Angels of Light – Everything is Good Here – CD (Young God Records) If I could sum up this release with one word, it would be brooding. But then again what else would one expect from the lead man of the Swans. Yes folks, Michael Gira is once again...

311- Creatures – CD
311- Creatures – CD This is a single of their latest radio song. It includes two versions, which are virtually identical. The song is pretty good and catchy in that 311 way, but it’s not one of their best. Still it’s better than most songs on the...
311- Evolver – CD
311 – Evolver – CD (311 Music) This is their latest full length. None of the songs particularly stood out, but none of them sucked either. This is a decent album by a band that has their own sound and has been writing constantly good songs for many years....
****Volcanic – Anhedonia – CD
****Volcanic – Anhedonia – CD (Rut Records 1091 Castle Dr. Watkinsville, GA 30677) You pronounce the name as Four-Star Volcanic. From what I can tell that is the most clever thing about this band. They are a decent rock band verging on punk with an...
