Theirs is a story that dates back to those sometimes confusing, always exciting post-teenage years when the world feels simultaneously like your oyster and the weight upon your shoulders. After forging … more

DJRossstar reviewed Reel Big Fish.
February 03, 2009
I've never been one to follow trends. I still wear trucker hats, I prefer regular Nintendo over XBOX and I still listen to ska music. Needless to say, I was more than just excited to hear that my favorite … more
Take a bunch of minor keys, a voice that sounds like your grandma's shaky drawl, and some beautiful, otherworldly folk lyricism, and you've got Josephine Foster, a singer-songwriter who could be categorized … more
Any trumpeter will kindly give you some of his favorite trumpet players. He might even tell you that they are the best of all time. Many are assuredly deserving of some of this esteem whereas some are … more

Etta_Strange reviewed Jaguar Love.
December 19, 2008
I've always really liked the The Blood Brothers. I don't know, the angular, cat-caught-in-a-blender screeches kind of worked for me for a long time. March On Electric Children was the jam. Two of its … more
System of a Down is probably one of my all-time favorite bands. I love their unique style of rock, and their upfront, liberal lyrics. Serj Tankien has an amazing way of projecting his unmistakable voice, … more

LingEatsCake reviewed The Slits.
December 17, 2008
"Earthbeat" by the Slits is just one of those songs that cuts me deep. With a reggae-influenced drum beat and Native American hoots, "Earthbeat" sounds like a primitive tribal piece projecting from a … more
One of my all-time favorite bands is Sublime. Although they are no longer, I will forever love the laid-back reggae feel of their music and the humor of their lyrics. I hope you will take the time to … more
Since the fiery crash of Buddy Holly's plane in 1959, rarely have the words "Iowa" and "rock and roll" been used in the same sentence. As we've come to know it, Iowa means corn, livestock, conservatism, … more
Pink Floyd. Who'd have thought that the same music I grew up hearing my dad listen to would end up being one of my own favorite choices to play at home years later? That is how good these guys are...they … more
Evanescence is one of my top five favorite musical groups. I fell in love with Amy Lee's voice the first time I heard her sing, and I immediately went out and bought her first major-label debut album, … more

speed7tastic reviewed The Killers.
December 15, 2008
I like the Killers because they're a fun indie rock group. They're a non-mainstream band that you can listen to and it's fun, edgy, and makes you wanna get up and dance. Or belt out the lyrics. … more

speed7tastic reviewed Snow Patrol.
December 15, 2008
I really like Snow Patrol mainly because they have a lot of power with their music. I listen to their songs and I feel energized, so to speak. It's like watching a movie where you really feel … more
The Duke Spirit is a British rock band that sounds very American. I can best describe their sound as a mix between Heart and Sonic Youth. Leila Moss is a natural performer- the way she draped her arm … more

buddhainbabylon reviewed Tillmans.
December 09, 2008
Tillman's soulful vibe can be felt the minute you walk in the door. The warmth of the tawny orange hue inside, paired with a warm and smiling crowd. The music here, most often spun by famous NY djs, is … more

EmmaAlvarezGibson reviewed The National.
September 14, 2008
It's turning out to be impossible for me to get enough of The National or to grow tired of them. The lush, hooky arrangements, the lyrics that seem so gentle but cut like the sharpest of knives, … more
Pros: Great music in a very different context than fans are accustom to. Cons: After some thought...none. The Bottom Line: This album has some very good … more
I cannot believe what kind of sounds this quartet pulled off! This string quartet is a part of what is known as Vitamin Records, and has performed many tributes to various artists such as Alicia … more
