MS MR – Secondhand Rapture – CD The dark brooding electronica sound drew me in and the soaring harmonies kept me deeply involved. MS MR are a great blend of sullen and sultry with rhythm and hooks to spare. The lyrics are another strong point with plenty of...

Mighty Sam McClain – Joy and Pain – CD (Ruf Records) Listening to Sam belt out the sledgehammer soul and down home blues on this CD and I can hear why his name is preceded by the adjective Mighty. Recorded live in Europe the richness of this album in...

Matchless – You Shaped Curve – CD (Matchless) Matchless reminds me of the great late 80’s college rock band Live Skull. They have the whole Indy rock sound down with great haunting female vocals leading the way through the wasteland which is the current...

Mourningside – …From Two Graves Back! – CD (Rodent Popsicle Records) Heavy, scary hardcore punk band. Lyrics about death and destruction similar to black metal bands. I’ve never been to heavily into this style, but still find it interesting. I think...

MXPX – The Ever Passing Moment – CD (A&M Records) I’ve always liked this Christian punk-pop band. They really don’t mention religion anymore, but I assume that they still have the same feelings. The singer sounds more and more like Bad Religion every...

Manic Hispanic – The Recline of Mexican Civilization – CD (BYO Records) Listening to this release I realized how much of how the character of Cheech of Cheech and Chong has became the dominant stereotype of the comical Mexican male. The songs on this...

John Mayer – Room for Squares – CD (Columbia Records) This sounds like it could be Dave Matthew’s long lost brother. The vocals and music are very similar to DMB, but this also has a more traditional sound. There is an absence of sax, violin and...

Tris Mc Call – If One of These Bottles Should Happen to Fall – CD (Tris McCall) Tris plays mellow fairly humorous music, almost as if Wally Pleasant had a full band. However, the lyrics aren’t as satirical and the whole disk gets boring by the fifth song....

Mr. California and the State Police – Mr. California and the State Police – 7” (Mr. California) I am amazed by all the effort it took to get this piece of utter crap into my hands. I mean some kid had to decide that his 4 track (again with the 4 track!)...

Chris McCoy – June Ten EP – CD (Goodjuju Records) True Story. I put on this CD at work and as one of my co-workers passed my office she stuck her head in and asked who the band was. I then gave it to her to listen to and 5-minutes later, she came back and...

Marbles, The – Seduction – CD (Break-Up! Records) A great ‘80s sound that is a bit reminiscent of early Kim Wilde. The songs are catchy and very poppy. The best thing is that they are from Columbus, which means that I will actually be able to see them...
