By Mike Johnson Vago could be considered a sort of whiney rock sound. When the vocals pop on point they’re kind of annoying – don’t work well with a lot of the arrangements. Sometimes it’s not pretty but other times it’s quite excellent. “American Joe” is a decent song, tells a story and pushes...

By Mike Johnson The name of the band reminds me of myself and my friends when we were non farty old. I’m not sure if they’re trying to coin a new genre of rock or not, but the first thing I notice is the more punk style than rock. Granted, the music is very...

By Mike Johnson If the bands Fall Out Boy, Green Day and Weezer sound familiar to you then so will The Unemployed. They bring a fun, poppy-punk sound to their music which is sound and includes some nice, smooth vocals and lyrics they could very proud of. “The Photographer From The Set Ruined My...

By Mike Johnson Being a horror buff and freak that I am I couldn’t pass up a CD called “Rise of the Undead” now could I? Of course not! I’m thinking some brain eating, crushing music and what I got was Poppy Punk stuff with a couple bits of guitar work in the title...

By Mike Johnson If you like the Stray Cats, lighter sounding Billy Joel or are a fan of college Key Clubs, SKA or anything even remotely like any of that then you’ll probably enjoy The Billie Burke Estate. I like that music and I enjoyed, without a doubt, “99 Liberty Lane” which is an...

By Mike Johnson Hmmm.. I dunno what to say. I got two demo songs and that’s not quite enough to make a REAL review. I’d have to ramble on and give a lot of filler to make it worth a read so – since you’ve read this far you can see all this filler.....

By Mike Johnson Country is the pimple on the butt of American music. Most country artists don’t pen their own lyrics and instead have songs written for them. This is a severe pet peeve with me and is right up there with calling RAP music or Elektronica good. There are instances though of Country...
