Wabbo - Dubstep Artist Spotlight (+ Interview!)
18-year old Dubstep-artist Nathan Wabbo, a.k.a. “Wabbo” hit me up yesterday to check out his tracks on SoundCloud. I checked the link out from my phone, and within seconds, realized that I need to listen to this really loud. If you like Skrillex, jam this!!!
One might not expect such an emerging artist to come from the deep south, but I think that’s what makes this all the...

Chords of Truth - "Reflections of Reality" (Review...
Chords of Truth influences include classic artists like Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, Leonard Cohen and Cat Stevens. With a unique sound that has been compared to recent hit artists like Jack Johnson, Mumford & Sons, Iron & Wine, and Ray Lamontagne. I can tell that Jason is a hard working artist who pours his heart out in his songs, and I tip my hat to his D.I.Y. approach, which comes...

The Daily Hate - "The 10.5 Sessions" (EP Review)
Anyone who’s bio reads: “People are getting tired of the Nickelback’s of the world..” immediately deserves a hi-ten. Canadian-trio “The Daily Hate” served my ear reeeeeal good stuff this morning with their refreshing and fun blend of rock and ska, sounding similar to a blend of Sublime and Panic at the Disco.
I really dig the drumming, and the lyrics. This...

Morning Star (Ethos) - Book Review + Author...
A college-graduate who majored in Graphic Design, a former rock-band leader, and long-time television-hater, Desiree Finkbeiner has published her debut novel Morning Star (Ethos) to her e-store on Amazon.com. The book had me tranquilized, just by simply reading the description, and then come to find out- there’s a lot more to the author than one would think.
I immediately had lots of...

Countless Thousands "We're Just Really Excited To...
I pressed PLAY on the bands’ bandcamp site, and started to research a bit more as I listened. From the get-go, I liked what I heard.. The 200-bpm-ish drum beats aren’t quite punk-rock, but edgy enough to remind me of Taking Back Sunday or even Fugazi at first. Then, the second track came on and it made me double-check that this wasn’t a compilation- Now, I’m really...

A Box o' Zombies!?! Yeah, that's right: A. Box....
At first glance, I thought these were a series of animated webisodes on their YouTube channel, but nooooooo… this is the real-deal miniature zombie collection that you’ve been waiting for.
Chicago-based creator Shawn Recinto, had the idea when he kept seeing his kids acting out a zombie-apocalypse while playing with their little green army men. After a quick search online, he...

Take to the Oars - "American Volume" (Album...
I have known this band for many years, and they’re f*cking sweethearts. More than once, I’ve found myself in Denver hanging with these guys, and their counterpart-comrades The Photo Atlas and The Epilogues, and not wanting to leave! I’ll just go ahead and say it, I totally want to move to Denver. :)
The new self-produced album from the Colorado-natives, American Volume,...

98.7fm Presents: Queen Caveat at the Hollywood...
I saw a kickass acoustic-set today at the Hollywood Tower by Queen Caveat, a powerfully infectious up-and-coming independent band based in LA. They have great songs, and they’re talented music-school grads [go-figure], but the lead singer is what really sells this band.
Digging through their reasonably-undeveloped online presence made me wish their videos did them more justice. However,...

Bethpage Black - "Black Music" (EP Review)
Long Beach, California-based ‘aggressive pop-rock’ quartet Bethpage Black independently released their EP Black Music last month. Combining the sounds of The Used, All-Time Low, and Foo Fighters, I gotta admit- I just listened to this EP several times, and shitsbueno :)
I had coffee with the drummer today (Steve Coy), who is also the business-man in the band. We discussed the...

First impressions of Crysand from Rome, Italy
For fans of Rammstein, Daft Punk, Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode, this Rome-and-London-based duo’s eclectic and foreign sound will certainly entertain you through your work day, as well as on the way home from work, and all the way to the nightclub where you’ll dance and party your ass off. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to go party right now.
