ALBUM REVIEW: “Angles” by The Strokes
Forget about what made The Strokes great and embrace their new, albeit pretty fun, sound.
ALBUM REVIEW: “The Golden Age of Nowhere” by Funeral Party
These guys friggen rock, and I’d love to have Funeral Party’s jams cranked at my funeral party.
ALBUM REVIEW: "Heroes In The Healing Of The Nation" by Zion I & The Grouch
With funky use of guitars, horns, strings, and electronics slathered over a pumping beat, this Bay Area group really puts out something unique.
ALBUM REVIEW: “Magic Fountain” by Art vs. Science
Art vs. Science creates driving beats chomping at the bit to shred your eardrums and splatter gray matter.
ALBUM REVIEW: “Powder Keg” by Riley Etheridge Jr.
Riley Etheridge Jr. isn’t just straight country – no it’s a blues/country fusion that just plain grooves.
“Songs Out Here” by That Ghost
Ryan Schmale handles all of the instrumental duties himself, which makes this NorCal native’s sound even more interesting.
ALBUM REVIEW: “Seeds” by Hey Rosetta!
A great rock sound topped with fancy-pants strings and a splash of piano.
LIVE REVIEW: Dum Dum Girls @ Sky Bar 2/17/11
The girls give Indie-punk in fancy places a go.
