Reel Big Fish Warped Tour, Cincinnati, OH – July 26, 2008 Okay, so I got a flat tire on the way to Warped Tour 2008 in Cincinnati, OH. Still I was sure I would make it in time to see one of the few bands that I was actually familiar with at this year’s...

Akwarian Sea Rebel – Gritty – CD (Akwarian Sea Rebel) The cover of this release has a side view a person wearing a myriad of instruments as a headdress. It’s a good representation of what can be found while listening to this disc. The tracks are...

Scott August – Lost Canyons – CD (Cedar Mesa Music) Out of the few people I’ve heard play Native American “Anasazi” flutes I would say I enjoy Scott August the best. It’s not just his style and technique it’s the fact that he blends his instrument in with...

The Atlantic Manor – On the Wrong Side of A Saturday Night – CD (Do Too Records) While I do agree that the vocals are the weakest link in this band I think they did themselves a disservice by mixing them so low. The guitar, piano and drum work is very...

Ashbrook Haynes – One Long Chase – CD (Ashbrook Haynes) This is roots rock / country with a touch of blues and while it’s well done it’s not my thing. The overall music is clean and simple with a good beat and the right hooks on the choruses....

La’Mont Anthony – In My Comfort Zone – CD (La’Mont Anthony) La’Mont plays an updated style of funky R&B. It’s like a late 70s funk / soul band was transported thirty years into the future and La’Mont put their soul into...

Ruben Angel – Ruben Angel – CD (Ruben Angel) This is pure dance based pop. The first song made me think I had popped in a Justin Timberlake disc and I don’t even have any of his music (but I have heard it). Some of the tracks like “Can I”...

Kasey Anderson – The Reckoning – CD (Terra Soul Records) The Reckoning starts off with a song that sounds like a loner goth cowboy who just had a bad day. Dark, low, slow, mysterious with a touch of the Old West. A great way to start off a release and pull...

John Amen – Rediculous Empire – CD (Cool Midget) The three things that came to mind as I listened to this release were: The Dude from the Big Lebowski, Camper Van Beethoven and Joe Walsh. I could see any other them being involved in this project even...

Alternate Sound of Life – She Whispers Loud – CD (ASL Music) This is one of those bands that proves that technically proficient musicians don’t always make the best music. ASOL are amazing musicians and play very intricate melodies fronted by just...

Audiocrash – Time Sensitive Material – CD (Audiocrash) Audiocrash is a two man team with a backup band to help them along. The overall feel of this release is that the songs are acoustical in nature, but given a rockin’ makeover. The music in itself...

Chris Alleyne – Saturday’s Hero – CD (Devine Soul Records) Chris Alleyne is a soul singer with a smooth and silky voice. I’m not a huge fan of soul, but these songs really have that something special and Chris’ voice and delivery are infectious. The...
