I will probably go with a bit [...]

It’s kind of bare right now, but as the announcements come in, she’ll be filling it up.
Here’s the vanilla link.

Category : Uncategorized April 27th, 2010 by Eric RexShawn Foree is probably my favorite singer / songwriter. Whenever I’m in a shit mood, I can toss on a Digital Leather album and feel either better about the world or angrier depending on which album I’ve chosen. So I saw that the band is looking for a bit of crowd sourcing to [...]
Category : Uncategorized March 14th, 2010 by Eric RexArpLine is a strange beast. While many of their peers in the Brooklyn music scene pay lip service to bands from the seventies referencing those artists which came before almost like a checklist, they seem content to ape whatever is around them. Each band chasing duplication of those original artists losing the details which [...]
Category : Uncategorized March 1st, 2010 by Eric RexLast Year’s Model has got their branding and message down. Check this promotional video out for their new album. Ominous shots of industrial spaces, a dessicated sink, a fuzzed out city scape made nearly indistinguishable thanks to the amount of video noise, the color filters, and the Vangelis like chords all bring to [...]

Category : Uncategorized February 1st, 2010 by Eric RexListening to Southside Stranglers’s debut EP Too Much TV I feel like someone kicked their way into my house, took over my record player, drank a quart of whiskey, smashed in my bathroom mirror and fired handguns affectionately at my neighbors before passing out in a puddle of Lucky Charms and milk.
In roughly eight and [...]
Category : Uncategorized January 27th, 2010 by Eric RexI am totally and utterly in love with Ava Luna’s Services EP.
They bill themselves as Post Punk Pop Electro, but to me it’s best described as some chunky soul.
Every time the chorus kicks in for Clips, the first song on the EP, I lose my shit. It just kicks me right in [...]
