Robert Delong – Just Movement – CD (Glass Note) Robert Delong’s debut album is a great piece of electronica dance music fused with quality singer / songwriter lyrical ability. Many of the songs also have a world beat feel running through them due to his...

D’Haene – Vinyl – CD (D’Haene) Another rockin’ blues band that could serve as the poster child for overplaying / singing. On their second track everybody gets a short solo (or two) and the vocalists tend to stretch out their last syllable...

Dynamo Hum – Fallopian – CD (Dynamo Hum) Hmmm, I have no handy genre classification to fit this one into. Female vocals, mellow guitars, kind of jazzy drums every now and then a fuzzy guitar interjects a few seconds of noise into the mix. Wait, I’ve...

Devl – Death Ray Sunshine – CD (Devl) Devl is two guys from Brooklyn who play industrial, that is a bit disjointed but still likable. They don’t have many vocals, but when they are present they are more of a Lou Reed style which plays great with their...

Dexter Freebish – Leaving Town (Single) – CD (Capitol Records) This is a catchy song from a band that never seemed to really take off. You could compare them to the currently popular Stroke 9. {Grog} (2001)

Ani Difranco – Reveling Reckoning – CD (Righteous Babe Records) It’s so weird that every time I read a review about Ani Difranco from major publications, they always end up saying it’s not so great. They did the same thing for the group Dead Can Dance....

Drowningman – Rock And Roll Killing Machine – CD (Revelation Records) Noisy hardcore with a lot of different riffs and changes. They have kind of a dissonant thing going on reminding me of Cop Shoot Cop. The guitar has that Black Flag barely in control...

The Dirty Dozen Brass Band – Buckjump – CD (Mammoth Records) One can always expect some great brass Jazz from The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and this release is no exception. “Buckjump” is what you get when you have a room full of talented jazz...

Joe Davis – Hope Chest – CD (In Music We Trust) Mellow and melodic angst done with supreme sensitivity. Supported by the acoustic flavored instruments, the male vocals have a falsetto sense about them that makes me feel like the singers heart is exposed...

The Damn Personals – Driver / Driver – CD (Big Wheel Recreation) When I heard the first song on this release I kept thinking ’80s sound in the vein of the Vapors, very catchy but just not as pop catchy. The more I got into the CD, the more the songs...

The Drunken Cholos – Livin La Vida Loca – CD (Hopeless Records) Consisting of the original Queers lineup, The Drunken Cholos put out fast and furious punk. There are 7 songs on this CD. However, it seems like a few seconds after I push play the music is...

Disaster Strikes – DS – CD (Rodent Popsicle Records) Hmmm, ten songs in eighteen minutes. DS just doesn’t waste anytime getting to what they are about which is sociopolitical hardcore. They sing about how companies abuse them and other workers, how school...
