Vago: Over Moon And Heavy Arms – CD Review

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...

The Wasted Freaks: Fright Rock – CD Review

0
March 8, 2009

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...

The Unemployed – CD Review

March 8, 2009

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...

The Rocketz: Rise of the Undead – CD Review

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...

Koffin Kats: Inhumane – CD Review

By Mike Johnson I like to consider myself a fan of Punk music. Stuff like Sex Pistols, Pixies or whatever. Koffin Kats is the new breed of what most have deemed a dead genre with the EMO movement sapping the life out of people. Punk exists to this day to make you move and...

The Eldorado Lounge: Welcome to the Eldorado Lounge – CD Review

By Mike Johnson I decided I needed to listen to something else. I like my rock and alternative music, punk, ska and the like. It was time, I thought, to try something a little more cultural. Enter the Eldorado Lounge which is a Rock/Folk Rock/R&B kind of style. I like it! Get yourself a...

The Breakups: Eat Your Heart Out – CD Review

By Mike Johnson Most men have been where the intro to this disc has gone.. to that time when your girl calls you up and wants to open up her feelings to you and say those three little words that make a lot of guys bolt and I don’t mean “DNA Paternity Test” either....

The Billie Burke Estate: Let Your Heart Break – CD Review

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...

The B Students – CD Review

March 8, 2009

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.....

Luke Powers: Picture Book – CD Review

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...
