Alex Arrowsmith – Applewine – CD (Ectoplasmic Records) Alex Arrowsmith is a singer / songwriter in the vein of Ben Folds, with a very quirky way with lyrics. I guess you could say he even has a touch of Weird Al, which in my opinion is a positive thing....

El Aviador Dro – Electronico! (Best of 1978-2006) – CD (Omega Point Records) This Spanish synth group has been around since 1978. So after 26+ years of churning out a wide range of infectious synth goodness in their homeland, they are finally ready to let...

Asia – The Definitive Collection – CD (Universal Records) I have two words to describe ASIA – Guilty Pleasure. Their music is lite rock and a bit whimpish, but you know what? Hardly anyone will turn the dial on the radio station when one of their songs...

Any Day In June – Any Day In June – CD (Matapop Records) Another CD that starts off with a decent song, “Pedestrian”, which is a sing-songy tune where male and female vocals trade off. It is a bit repetitive, but still pretty decent. From there...

El Angel – Mexaton – CD (3R Entertainment) I was put off a bit when I started listening to this release. It wasn’t the rapping I had problems with, it was the amateur ’80s synth sound of the music which gave me pause. Luckily the rapping, while...

Ian Allen – Nova’s Lounge – CD (Nova 53 Records) If you want to learn how to play drums and need a CD to practice with, this one’s for you my friend. An elementary drumbeat backed by a synthesizer is what forms the core of all the tracks on...

44 Long – Hangover Heights Part 2 – CD (In Music We Trust) Some bands begin to stagnate on their third effort, but not 44 Long. Brian Berg’s growth as a musician/songwriter is self-evident. This record has a definite groove with great guitar licks...

Alien Ant Farm – Up In The Attic – CD (Universal Records) My god is this CD awful. “Supreme Lifestyle” has that top 40 cookie cutter radio station pop sound that I dislike so much. The attempt by the vocalist to make every word sound heartfelt by gasping...

1986 – Nihilism Is Nothing To Worry About – CD (Palentine Records) Take one parts The Replacements and combine one part Dinosaur Jr. and you would probably have yourself a winning combination right? Well that’s what the band called 1986 thought, and...

…Year Of The White Buffalo – Year Of The White Buffalo – CD (Black & Blue Star Records) This CD starts off good enough with a haunting guitar instrumental. However, the melody sounded familiar to me. I couldn’t quite place it and checked the...

30 Seconds To Mars – A Beautiful Lie – CD (Virgin Records) This is the second release by actor Jared Leto‘s band, and unlike other bands that include a popular actor, this is a real band (Dogstar I’m looking at you). 30 Seconds To Mars is a...
