Matt Walters – ‘Echo On’

Matt Walters began his love affair with folk from a very young age. Driven by the discovery that music need not be an over-produced affair to be powerful and moving, he embarked on finding his own voice with which to create a brand of evocatively unadorned music.

His teenage years spent in the self-imposed isolation of his bedroom recording studio led on to become a journey of discovery from Melbourne to Sydney to London . On return to his hometown in southwes...

The Horrors-Primary Colors

Posted by Pete Shather on Monday, May 18, 2009, In : Reviews 

Artist: The Horrors

Title: Primary Colors

Label: Beggars XL

Genre: Rock/Pop

Rating: 4.5/10

Strange House may have been the introduction to this weird band, but Primary Colors is a step in the right direction for a band trying very hard to please a finicky crowd. Antics will no longer suffice and the music must meet par. Primary Colors is a start; but the music is too generic to initiate a new feel to the old senses.

Artist: Green Day

Title: 21st Century Breakdown

Label: Reprise

Genre: Rock/Pop

Rating: 4/10

Green Day makes a living at trying to quip on the current status of America. With 21st Century Breakdown, we have yet another step into the direction of becoming a staple of the music that the current generation has to offer. After American Idiot summed up the entirety of what most mindless youths are willing to capture and dredge from three professors of nothingness, it is not surprising that ...

Juan Garcia Esquivel

Posted by J. Anthony Holloway on Sunday, May 17, 2009, In : Spotlight 

Imagine as the 1950s come to a close, the conservative and scrupulous Eisenhower decade giving way to the more injudicious 60s. Susie Homemaker is feeling a little pent up after a decade in the kitchen and a thousand or so fruit pies cooling on the window sill. The kids are at school, hubby is at work, and the bachelor who recently moved into the house at the end of the cul de sac is home mowing his front yard. It’s hot out today for a May afternoon; perhaps she oughta take him over a gla...

Os Mutantes

Posted by J. Anthony Holloway on Sunday, May 17, 2009, In : Spotlight 

The 1960s was a turbulent decade for the country of Brazil, especially following the coup d’état against President João Goulart in 1964 which would thrust the country into a military dictatorship lasting until 1985. Needless to say, the Cold War was far-reaching. Still, typical of political upheaval and turmoil, social activism, like a flower through concrete, struggled to make itself seen and heard. After all, what is a country without its people?

The term Tropicália (or Tropacalismo) ...

White Lies-To Lose My Life

Posted by Pete Shather on Tuesday, May 12, 2009, In : Reviews 


Artist: White Lies

Title: To Lose My Life

Label: Geffen Records

Genre: Rock/Pop

Using the standard UK vocals of The Cure and Joy Division, White Lies comes up with an excellent contemporary view of their surroundings. All things British fall into two groups-trying to be too much and being too much. There is a hard line to accomplish when most modern music is rooted in the music of the isle.

Artist: Conceptual Drudgery

Title: Archaic Sound Mosaic Vol. 1 EP

Label: Self Issued

Genre: Folk/Lounge/Rock/Pop/Spoken Word/Mashup

On this five song EP, each song captivates the wonderment of sitting in your sixties swag pad while downing copious amounts of LSD and grain alcohol. This small, but bombastic, set of tunes is perfect for driving with the top down or impressing your girlfriend that you listen to music other than Nickelback.
