Review: Joey Negro – In The House
Joey Negro In The House Defected Records What does Joey Negro, Akabu, Raven Maize, Sessomato, and the well-known Jakatta (Remixer of “American Dream” from movie American Beauty) have in common? These diverse dance-floor anthem originators share the same mind—Dave Lee. Releasing more hits than any other UK producer and remixer, Dave Lee (JN) is
Review: Kasabian – Self-Titled
Kasabian Self-Titled RCA Kasabian have been a guilty pleasure of mine since hearing the opening of “Club Foot.” Granted, they aren’t completely original. You can pinpoint various points in Manchester’s history of music that pop up in abundance throughout the album, fitting in somewhere post-Happy Mondays and the Charlatan’s happier days with a dash of

Review: Impossible Recording Machine – Echo The Moon
IMPOSSIBLE RECORDING MACHINE ECHO THE MOON Positron! Impossible Recording Machine are not electroclash, Radiohead, James Bond, Coldplay or any combination of “post” + (insert whatever retro music term is popular). They do, however, share a bit in common with the aforementioned because Echo the Moon is a surprisingly nice collection of up-tempo electronic drones, candy
Review: Impaled – Death After Life
Impaled Death After Life Century Media Records As I scraped shredded meat off of the scalpels and saws on my block, I noticed the pus oozing from the new Impaled disc.

Hell-Born Legacy of the Nephilim Conquer Records Hell-Born is a band from Poland that sounds remarkably close in style to Japan’s Hellchild. This album has a definite thrash metal feel in the guitar playing, as well as the way the vocalist belts out the lyrics, but that’s as close to thrash as this gets. The
Review: Heimataerde – Gotteskrieger
SLUG Reviews Heimataerde’s Gotteskrieger. Of all the German industrial that I listen to, this one wins the prize for being so German. Keep Reading… … read more
Review: Hate Eternal – I, Monarch
I think Hate Eternal had reached “blur status,” and had to take it down a notch. Not bad for three guys from back East. Imagine Suffocation, but less sloppy. … read more
Review: Hanzel Und Gretyl – Scheissmessiah
Hanzel Und Gretyl Scheissmessiah Metropolis Records Years ago, I lived in Logan, where music stores were limited. In a desperate craving for new music, I went to Hastings, spotted a Hanzel Und Gretyl disc and decided to give it a shot. Got the CD home and skipped through the tracks and in less than an
Review: Groove Junkies ft. Indeya – Music’s Gotcha Jumpin’
Groove Junkies ft. Indeya Music’s Gotcha Jumpin’ MoreHouse Records The Los Angeles super-duo Groove Junkies, are back and more powerful then ever. This time, they rediscover the classic MoreHouse sound of soul and jazz rhythms by hitting the top with soul-funk and disco flavors, all encompassing the stirred vocals of diva Indeya (from “Oh
Review: Grant Nelson – Life
Grant Nelson Life Swing City If you had a chance to check out GN live, last month @ The W Lounge (downtown SLC), then you know what he delivers as a DJ. Now you have a chance to comprehend his magic in the studio. This latest release from the man of many sides illustrates
Review: Great Lakes Myth Society – Self-Titled
These Great Lakes Myth Society are some strange hybrid of an American The Beautiful South, the bouncy happy sound that seems to roll out of Glasgow these days. … read more
