Bastille – Bad Blood – CD (Virgin Records) Like many others I became aware of Bastille due to their infectious hit “Pompeii” with its great driving rhythm, haunting vocal lines and unique instrumentation structure. As I dug deeper into this indie electronic...

Bellerouche – Best of Bellerouche – CD (Tru Thoughts) Bellerouche is an artist who came into my sphere of notice when I caught the electro-swing bug early this year. This best of collection is a great introduction to the trip-hop / soul / electro swing of...

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...

Big Wig – An Invitation to Tragedy – CD (Fearless Records) At first these guys sounded like good, but typical melodic hardcore. On one track “Hope” they sounded a bit like Fifteen and on a few others they moved into the Avail realm. Overall though they...

Billy Bacon & The Forbidden Pigs - Pig Latin – CD (Triple X Records) Fun, catchy Latin laced songs that are well put together, but never to be taken too seriously. They seem like a very fun band to see live. I can’t see actually playing this CD often, but...

Blame,The – No One is Innocent – CD (F.U.G. Records) Like a shotgun blast to the face, This CD starts out with hard rock aggression that doesn’t end until the last man is standing. The sound is a bit reminiscent of Motley Crue intermixed with pure punk...

Blueline Medic - A Working Title in Green – CD (Fueled By Ramen) This is a pretty typical college-radio pop/rock band. Nice sounding tracks, pleasant vocals and great artwork. {Regan} (2001)

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...

Blakely, Mike - West of You – CD (Swing Rider Records) Mike Blakely sings good old country flavored tunes with a folksy flair. I’m one of those people who isn’t too keen on the pop styling that country music has adopted, the so-called new country. So if you...
