Metallica – Through The Never Soundtrack
Review — March 30, 2015
You had to be there. In the grand scheme of box-office existence, Through The Never was a blip. The release was limited, as was apparently, the appeal. Despite all this, It was well worth seeing. It looked fantastic, the sound mix was great. It was possibly the most immersive concert-film …
Pyramids – Following the Tracks, Forcing Motion Through Phases
Review — February 11, 2007
Listening to this album is like being on a train, a train that you know is going to crash. But even knowing this, you just sit there and wait. Slowly you look out the window and lament all that passes by almost without knowing why. As the music builds up …

Review — October 29, 2015

Eyes Averted – Paralyzing Passion and Motion
Review — October 8, 2006
It seems strange that a band like Eyes Averted would end up having to self-release their debut album. Before Paralyzing Passion and Motion was completed, the band was abruptly dropped from their label. Why would this happen? What acceptable excuse could there possibly be? The technical, almost progressive, hardcore style …
Chuck Cirino – Not of This Earth Original Soundtrack
Review — October 29, 2015
Though composer Chuck Cirino is not a name that most movie fans – even those who like B-movies – would instantly recognize, there's a decent chance cult film aficionados have heard some of his work. First breaking into movie soundtrack work on 1980's Gypsy Angels, a film best known …
Modern English – Soundtrack
Review — September 2, 2010
After a long hiatus, the band is back with a stunning new release. Skillfully produced again by Hugh Jones (Echo & The Bunnymen, Dumptruck), this record is the perfect mix of both sides of the band's sound. By this I mean that fans of the more brooding early 4AD material …
Patrick Mackie – Mozart in Motion - His Work and His World in Pieces
Review — January 24, 2022
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is widely portrayed as a self-contained musical genius, a prodigy that effortlessly managed to pump out an endless array of masterworks.

Music: Austin City Limits Music Festival 2015
Feature — October 27, 2015
Upon leaving the 2015 Austin City Limits Music Festival on the second day of its second weekend, someone near me made the comment that a person heading back towards the downtown area was presented with the nine circles of hell. Bottled water was being hawked for a dollar, pizza …Music: City Of Ships Album Stream

The City and Skyway – Everything Looks Worse In Black And White
Review — September 13, 2010
Being an objective reviewer, I will try and ignore the grossly overboard hyperbole contained in their press sheet. But this is fairly serviceable post-emo rock release from the mid-west. The guitars have flashes of hooks here and there throughout this record. The lyrics seem to have a very focused target …

Review — January 2, 2012

Dead City – Goddamn the 21st Century
Review — November 12, 2009
To create a preface for the reader I'm going to backtrack a bit. I grew up during an amazing time for metalcore - before Victory Records became giant media whores. So noted I have a very obvious soft spot that style of hardcore. This may be helpful information for you …
City Mouse – So Far Out
Review — December 24, 2024
There are few bands that hit with the mix of raw emotion and musical talent as a live City Mouse show. There are even fewer bands that can capture that live feeling on a record. It’s been a long 7 years since Get Right, but So Far Out keeps it …
