Reviews
Set It Free Album Review
Set It Free and their self-titled album are great. They mix up the metal and hardcore genres but use clean vocals instead of screams. It makes it seem 80′sish. Its a new kind of heavy when using clean vocals. “Home Alive” starts off the album. The first thing coming through my mind is some awesome [...]
Electric Touch ‘Don’t Stop’ Album Review
Electric Touch is a catchy, dance/pop band that really makes you wanna move. Comparable to bands like Family Force 5, Forever The Sickest Kids, and Bloc Party, Electric Touch really kicks off their EP with “Don’t Stop.” “Don’t Stop” makes you wanna get moving from the start. The beat and the chorus are just killer. [...]
Suddyn ‘Before the City’ – Hard Spelling, Easy Listening
Suddyn’s crisp, collected sound is proof that not all electro-rock bands have to sound like a five-year-olds first hour with a Casio keyboard. Technically solid bands are becoming harder and harder to find as anyone with a Mac seems to be making songs and putting them on YouTube. It’s clear that brothers Alan and Jarrett [...]

Midnight Mosaic ‘Fetish’ Album Review
Rarely, are bands that incorporate different genres successful at producing a cohesive sound and much less an album. However, New Jersey natives Midnight Mosaic are the exception, who with their new EP Fetish manage to bring to the forefront a new sound mixing hip-hop, folk, country and R&B. Tracks like the opener “Victorious (L.M.N.H)” and [...]
The Reveling ‘Tributaries’ Album Review
The Reveling is a punk band that kicks it old school. Instead of going for the modern sound of punk, they went 90s on us. Sounding very much like Bad Religion and Anti-Flag, The Reveling on Tributaries creates a pure punk sound that you can’t ignore. “Revival” and “Charlotte Thompson” are the first two songs [...]
Erick Serna And The Killing Floor Album Review
Erick Serna And The Killing Floor is a one-man-band that crosses between the Black Keys and old-school Southern Rock. The songs have a lot of distorted guitar and heavy bass lines. Along with that they add elements of bluegrass, country, and southern rock into all of this to make a truly unique sound. The Grip [...]
