Bellerouche – Best of Bellerouche – CD (Tru Thoughts) Bellerouche is an artist who came into my sphere of notice when I caught the electro-swing bug early this year. This best of collection is a great introduction to the trip-hop / soul / electro swing of...

Birdwatchers of America – There Have Been Sightings – CD (Raise Giant Frogs Records) Taking full advantage of their name they inject sound clips regarding birdwatching between tracks. The music isn’t bad, just some good straight ahead rock with a bit...

The Bangs – Sweet Revenge – CD (Kill Rock Stars) The Bangs have been around for quite a while and are in my mind one of the leaders in the whole riotgrrl scene that was spawned about a decade ago. Fun, bouncy and raw punk pop played with a passion and...

Blakely, Mike - West of You – CD (Swing Rider Records) Mike Blakely sings good old country flavored tunes with a folksy flair. I’m one of those people who isn’t too keen on the pop styling that country music has adopted, the so-called new country. So if you...

Bed Devils – Le Caprice - CD (Syck Dawg Records) I must admit, I chose to review the Bed Devils’ Le Caprice mostly because I thought the cover was achingly adorable: a little blond toddler in a red hooded sweatshirt, complete with little devil...

Benjamins – The Art of Disappointment – CD (Drive Thru Records) Easily digestible power pop/punk, sarcastic and yet honest—I could listen to this all day! “I’m your Einstein on acid, your superman, if you will, if you would, I think you could do a lot...

Braindance – Redemption – CD (Progressive Darkwave Records) Braindance is an interesting mix of goth, black metal and industrial…with a sense of humor. They are a duo featuring Sebastian Elliot-double-edged throat & unmentioned vocal process,...

Betty Already – Amerimaniacs – CD (Fly Lyla Records) From the get go I could tell that the band X is a big influence for this band. The combo of the male and female vocals on the tracks throughout this release have John Doe/Excene written all over...

Brassy – Got It Made – CD (Wiiija Records) Fresh, Fun, Funky! Brassy is a hot! The spoken/sung words work perfectly with the ever-changing palette of the DJ. ”Nervous” a raucous rock song is a nice change to keep this 17-song disc from...

Betty Blowtorch – Are You Man Enough? – CD (Food Chain Records) Betty Blowtorch kicks mother fuckin’ ass. This band is made up of four foul-mouthed, power-tool-crazy rock and roll hussies who will fix your car then hump you on top of it. I haven’t heard an...
