by Jason Lightner February 24th, 2012 | Album Review
Dubstep (/ˈdʌbstɛp/):

"a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, United Kingdom. Its overall sound has been described as "tightly coiled productions with overwhelming bass lines and reverberant drum patterns, clipped samples, and occasional vocals"


From Wikipedia.


Now that we know what to expect, we can simply dive right into dubstep superstar Skrillex's latest offering, Bangarang, right? Not so fast, there, Chavez. You've got to set the mood first. Get yourself some nice scented candles and a bubble bath, pour yourself a glass of your favorite pinot noir and prepare to have your

Moonlight Bride, Twin Lakes EP, 2/28/12

by J Frazzetta February 21st, 2012 | Album Review, Independent Artists, Music Opinions
Sometimes you go digging to hear a new band that has an exciting sound and sometimes you get an email that is what you’re looking for.  Without further ado I’m going to introduce you to a group of fellows from Chattanooga that have nothing to do with country music and worship at the temple of distortion pedals.  Avid Reader, I give you Moonlight Bride.

At first this EP started kind of slow, and I was almost going to take a nap when a burst of distorted energy smacked me in the face.  Opening track "Diego" could have been torn from

The Big Pink, Future This, 2012

by J Frazzetta February 17th, 2012 | Album Review, Music Opinions
Here is another one of those instances when I walked into my usual record store, checked out the new releases a few weeks ago and picked up one based on some simple criteria.  It worked once, who was to say it couldn’t happen again?  Enter a pair of London gents that mix up shoegazer fuzz, dance beats and solid lyrics who call themselves The Big Pink.

Album Review: Born to Die

by Louise February 8th, 2012 | Album Review
Lana Del Rey really had it cut out for her. She was famous for her music before she had even released an album. And then she did release an album, and I listened to it. And now I really wish I hadn't.

I don't like to call any artist a bad artist. We can often attribute our dislike for a particular band simply to our dislike for the genre of music. You know, who am I to judge if that really is music to someone's ears? Listening to a genre that I don't especially enjoy is like watching an old

GBV, Let’s Go Eat the Factory, 2012

by J Frazzetta February 7th, 2012 | Album Review, Music Opinions
When it comes to songwriting, Robert Pollard is in a league all of his own.  A former schoolteacher, he is credited with writing and registering over 1,500 songs, according to Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI), which is no small feat.  To many folks in the world of true independent music his band, Guided By Voices, is heralded as a force of low-fi recording and real DIY aesthetic.  The band has gone through several incarnations in the last two decades, Pollard being the only stable member as friends and musicians come in a revolving door; this new venture brings back
