Frank Turner – Tape Deck Heart – CD (Polydor Records) Frank Turner’s latest release is full of wonderful, heartfelt alternative folk songs that are catchy as well as though provoking. Between his deeply personal lyrics and ability to write a hook it’s hard not...

Otis Taylor – White African – CD (NorthernBlues Music) Otis Taylor offers up an armload of awesome heart-felt story telling blues on this killer release. A black hobo accused of a murder he didn’t commit, people who suffer before they die, a woman who must...

David Thomas and Two Pale Boys – Surf’s Up! – CD (Thirsty Ear Recordings) Even though I never really listened too much of Pere Ubu, the distinct vocals of David Thomas just stand out. Don’t be mislead by the title, this is not a surf rock album....

Transmatic – Transmatic – CD (Immortal Records) Nice—a cross between Verticle Horizon and Creed, but not as overproduced. Strong male vocals, which are somewhat reminiscent of Crash Test Dummies. They get extra points for actually using “guided by voices”...

William Topley – William Topley – CD (Lost Highway / Universal) Hmmm. I don’t really know what to think of William Topley. At first I thought he was a standard blues musician with a bit of southern rock bubbling up to the surface. Then he hit a track that...

Teenbeaters – My World, My Sky… – CD (Teenbeaters) From the name of the band I was expecting a CD full of hard core punk noize. Instead, my ears were treated to six likable pop tunes with progressive punk flair. There’s really nothing bad to say about this...

The Twilight Singers – Twilight – CD (Sony Music) Definitely not my cup of tea. The vocals and lyrics are just fine. The music just lacks. Mr. Greg Duli decided to go in a more mellow and cheese-pop direction on this project and it just falls flat. {Mite}...

The Trans Megetti – Soon Be Seeing You Later – CD (Art Monk Construction) A four song EP from this post punk band. The second two tracks have a degreded sound even though they were all recorded at the same place. The Trans Megetti didn’t do much for me and...

Two Man Advantage – Don’t Lable Us – CD (Go Kart Records) Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Hard fast and furious punk rock hell is what to expect when you listen to this release. Coolest tune on this CD has to be “Opinionated Motherfucker” which sounds like a...

Temple of Misery – Live Demo – Cassette This is one of the initial releases by a Dayton, OH newborn band. They go for the Gothic sound with some Punk Rock, Industrial and Metal influences. I find it amusing that their acronym, “ToM”, is also my...

Thrice – Identity Crisis – CD (Sub City Records) I’m having a love/hate relationship while listening to this CD. On one hand I like the music and vocal styling. On the other hand, I’ve heard too many bands who sound just like this, melodic vocals over...

Transmission Form – Pan Pipes – CD From the cover I was expecting a progressive rock band. What I heard was cool experimental grooves with an edge. A steady beat and electronics are present throughout the disk, with other instruments intermixed hither and...
