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...

Bad Astronaut-Acrophobe – CD (Honest Don’s) I love the simplicity of the cover art work for this CD. With the addition of keyboards and cello meshed with the great changes that occur in the songs, this release shines above the same old alternative pop...

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...

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...
