Local Review: Ayin – The Persistent Divide
Ayin The Persistent Divide CD Baby Street: 03.23 Ayin = Linkin Park + Incubus For a debut album, The Persistent Divide delivers in ways that most new bands just can’t. High production values and a close attention to detail are apparent in every facet of this album. Past that, Ayin’s CD just doesn’t hold up

Local Review: Atomic 45 – Cauterized
Atomic 45 Cauterized Self-Released Street: 04.04 Atomic 45 = System of a Down + Suicidal Tendencies + Corrosion of Conformity I love a band that goes for it unapologetically in their approach, not that they should be apologizing for anything.
