Serotonin by Mystery Jets»

Serotonin by Mystery Jets
Released by Rough Trade Records
Normally when I review an album of a band I’m not familiar I don’t research the band or what other people have to say. I try to keep all bad and good influences out and just base my opinion on what I hear.
And the first impulse was that [...]

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire»

I just love the wonderful people whom have been hyping this album up since Arcade Fire’s last release Neon Bible [2007]. I even believed that Arcade Fire would be taking this release to the next level since they had impressed me with each release thus far… that was until I listened to this sub-par hunk of monkey crap of a release this past [...]

“American Gong” by Quasi»

American Gong by Quasi
Released by Kill Rock Stars
For most bands, 10 albums over 17 years is an achievement. For Quasi, it is more of a toss off—something to do in between the real gigs. Their 10th album, “American Gong,” has a feel of a band that is sticking around just for the sake of longevity. [...]

Avi Buffalo s/t»

Avi Buffalo self-titled
Released from Subpop Records 4/27/2010
You’ll hear a lot about Avi Buffalo and it seems that a lot of reviews mention their ages – fuck their ages. The quality of Avi Buffalo’s self-titled album has nothing to do with how old or young they are. It’s simply a great album.
Avigdor Zahner-Isenberg leads this band [...]

Say You, Say Me. The Debut Album “Say Us” by Zeus»

Say Us by Zeus
Released by Arts & Crafts
On Zeus’ debut album, Say Us, you’ll hear a lot of the familiar: The Band, the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, the Eagles and any type of 1970s rock. Perhaps it’s the piano-driven songs or the tight harmonies, but the album as a whole sounds like a [...]

Two Thousand and Ten Injuries by Love Is All»

Two Thousand and Ten Injuries by Love Is All
Released by Polyvinyl Records
It’s almost summertime and perfect for a new Love is All album. Two Thousand and Ten Injuries will rise to the top of my spring/summer soundtrack with it’s upbeat spunky female leads and punky tweepop giddiness. This album is pure fun. It’s perfect for [...]
