The Jealous Sound – A Gentle Reminder – CD (The Militia Group) “A Gentle Reminder” is the latest masterpiece from singer / guitarist Blair Shehan and his latest band The Jealous Sound. Technically this was released in 2012, however there was a re-release...

The Judas Factor – Kiss Suicide – CD (Revelation Records) I like how the band’s name and album title have the inter-relating biblical reference. This has a dark, brooding, and seething rage infused Hard-Core sound with interesting lyrics (fortunately...

Junction 18 – This Vicious Cycle – CD (Fearless Records) The first thing that came into my mind when I started listening to this release is that it almost reminded me of a very, very poppy version of Green Day. But, they really don’t sound like Green Day....

Juno Reactor – Shango – CD (Metropolis Records) This is a release Mite would love. It is a mix of industrial / electronica and world beat. The first track “Pistolero” is a bolero with electronica underpinnings. The second song “Hulelam” does the same to...

The Jacksonvillains – 1ST – CD (Starfruit Records) This is a very interesting female three piece. The vocals remind me of Juliana Hatfield, and while the music is similar it has a more haunting tone to it almost like a stripped down Camper Van Beethoven....

Etta James – Tell Mama – CD (Universal Music) You don’t know how thrilled I am to be getting in so many great legendary blues CDs in. This one by Etta James is incredible. What’s really cool is that almost half of this release consist of reissue bonus...

Jett Brando – The Movement Toward You – CD (Gern Blandsten Records) There are two speeds to this CD, soft and shoe gazing and sing-songy. A subtle melodic guitar intermixed with the soft male vocals lulls you into a relaxing bliss, while the sing-songy...

J mUNdoK-Artichoke – CD (Jack Kettle Records) I can best describe this release as simply amazing. This two-piece band consisting of J Mundok (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards & Programming) and Susanne (Keyboards & Xylophone) has much talent. The overall sound...

Tom Jones – Tom…Sings the Sixties – CD (MCI) The Welsh Wonder is known for his unbridled vocal power and intense charisma and it comes through on this album of (other people’s) 60′s hits. Sure many of the songs are overblown with bigger...

Judah Johnson – Judah Johnson – CD (Flame Shovel Records) These guys have the ethereal / jam rock type of sound and in some weird way make me think of Counting Crows. I guess it’s because they have that same jam type feel and everything flows together...

Jag Offs – Four Letter Words – CD (Recess Records) Less than basic punk rock 101 in music and lyrics. The entire release sounded like I was listening to a 33rpm recording being played back at 78rpm. - Mite Mutant...

The Jimmies – Let the Fat Men Plunder – CD (Panic Button Records) I liked the CD cover photo of the fat hairy belly of the guitarist and the hot Betty Page tattoo on his left forearm, so I thought I’d like the music. Unfortunately, this is just...
