Radar Mercury – Thankyou, Goodnight – CD (Doghouse Records) These guys sound like Knapsack musically, but they really never let loose and their vocalist reminds me of the guy from The Get Up Kids in a way. Pretty good catchy emo/indie rock for you to...

Rainer Maria – Atlantic – CD (Polyvinyl Records) This is three tracks of pure emo. While the first two songs are not exciting or very inventive, the third track Soul Singer is great. Hopefully, their full length will be more along the lines of the final...

Reverend Horton Heat – Spend A Night in the Box – CD (Time Bomb Recordings / BMG) I have to admit that I have never heard a Reverend Horton Heat song, ever though I have heard of the Rev. So when we got this release in to review something inside of me said...

Rhapsody – Symphony of Enchanted Lands – CD (Limb Music Products) OK, on the front cover you have a knight riding a fire-breathing dragon in front of a castle that sits high upon a hill as lightning flashes in the background. Now, you get two guesses to...

Radar Bros. – The Swinging Hatchet – CD (See Thru Music) Slow and mellow alternative type music. A good word that describes this release is dredge. The slow pacing of the music makes me visualize myself trying to walk through two feet of mud. It’s a...
