Chaz Bundick wanted his third studio album to be a pop record; something his girlfriend could dance to. What he created is his most fluid album to date. The shades of 80s R&B and chopped vocal stabs in the background are reminiscent of his first album, … read more
Review: Tormented – Death Awaits
Hey, this is almost like Entombed never flip-flopped on their style. Tormented help the old-school Swedish death metal remain alive along with their own rusted twists and nasty riffs. … read more
Review: Tim & Adam – Self-Titled
Before Tim & Adam, I had never actually listened to either of them. Tim, of The Postmarks and Adam from I Am Stereo came together and created an album that will most likely end up on many a summer mixtapes. … read more
Review: Touche – It’s Fate
Apparently “singer” Alex Lilly and instrumentalist/vocalist Bram Inscore, who comprise this girl/boy LA duo, didn’t do their research when picking a name for their group. … read more
Review: True Widow – Circumambulation
Compared to As High As the Highest Heavens and from the Center of the Circumference of the Earth, Circumambulation proceeds with sparser guitar and deliberate bass, beginning the slow burner as such with “Creeper.” … read more
Review: The White Mandingos – The Ghetto is Tryna Kill Me
Creativity and storytelling are the focal points in this experimental album. … read more
Review: Trash Monsters – There’s a Rat in the Tunnel of Love
Punk rock is best served when it’s not trying to be punk, but when its simply trying to be load, fast, obnoxious rock n’ roll. That’s what Trash Monsters do so well. … read more
Review: Tony Joe White – Hoodoo
This blues-like punk rock, in a way, is very simple—it’s often played with the same chord progressions, tempos and even instrumentation. So, like punk rock, it takes talent creativity and originality—all of which are not found in high amounts on Hoodoo. … read more
Review: Tough Age – Self-Titled
There’s a lot to like about Tough Age. They’ve got a nice surf-rock vibe with a dash of angst pulled right from a dingy garage. The whole album has an old-fashioned sound as warm as old tube amps and the band travels over a lot of terrain. This album is a great sonic trip up the coast. … read more
Review: Toxic Holocaust – Chemistry of Consciousness
I was pleased to hear that Joel Grind didn’t take Chemistry of Consciousness in the way that Conjure and Command hinted at, which, for me, might have been cultic stoner-thrash, but staunchly returned to volatile, acidic ooze and frantic bloodlust. … read more
Review: Traams – Grin
Krautrock by way of Chichester, England with a dusting of American math rock in it’s blood, Traams stand in good post-punker company (along with say Parquet Courts and Disappears) by making honest-to-god indie ROCK with a serrated, post millennial edge. … read more
Review: This Will Destroy You – Live In Reykjavik, Iceland
This album, when listened to in a good pair of headphones, gives a taste of TWDY’s live presence in a perfect setlist comprised of the best of the band’s discography. I’m seething with jealousy over the lucky audience that witnessed this performance in Iceland, but grateful the band thought to record and share it with the rest of us. … read more
