Meh, if I didn't intern at their management company I would have never, ever, ever, ever given this band a chance. "WHY?" you may ask. A few reasons- 1) the album is released on Feuled By Ramen 2) and Decaydance (owned by Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy) 3) the bands they have toured with, 4) The amount of under 16 "friends" on their myspace pageBut since I had some sort of ties to this band for a

Horse The Band "The Mechanical Hand"released 9/20/05The name should catch you right away. If it doesn't, maybe the fact that they're referred to as "nintendo-core" will arouse your interest. If it doesn't, then maybe their second album being produced by Matt Bayles will help? If none of these apply, then screw you! JK. HORSE THE BAND (bitch!) is back with their second album "The Mechanical Hand"

Wolf Parade "Apologies To The Queen Mary"released 9/27/05I never heard of this band until I saw them perform at a CMJ party mid-September. I was blown away. I visited their myspace page for about 4 hours every day for like 2 weeks clicking "play" until the album came out (www.myspace.com/wolfparade). I can get obsessive sometimes. Ever since this album came out I haven't gone ONE day without

Red Knife Lottery "So Much Drama"released 6/14/05I saw this in the store, and the sticker on the front said "For fans of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Pretty Girls Make Graves." So I bought it. Yep, pretty much sums up this cd. Take any release either of those 2 bands have had, add a little more female screaming vocals, and you have Rd Knife Lottery. It's not disappointing, but it's not ground breaking. If

As I Lay Dying "Shadows Are Security"released 6/14/05As I Lay Dying are back with another in your face metal album. They are referred to as metalcore, but fuck that, I hate that label- it's quite dumb. It's fuckin metal! Anyways, I like this album alot better than their previous "Frail Words Collapse". It actually has melodies too! I skip those tracks, but it's nice to see they have diversified

Death Cab For Cutie "Plans"released 8/30/05Death Cab For Cutie is back with a major label debut. They've endured alot of success due to their appearence on The OC, and Ben's side project The Poastal Service has gained more recognition and popularity than was probably ever intended. With that being said, this album has alot riding on it. It pretty much lives up to what I expected. The album's

Minus The Bear "Menos El Oso"released 8/23/05I've been able to listen to this album for about 2 and a half weeks because I had a burned copy, but I am such a fan that I went out on Sunday and bought the album at Vintage Vinyl. Thanks to Jenn for letting me only spend $35 on the cd and the Death Cab For Cutie DVD instead of like 100 bucks (I love that place).So anyway, for the most part, the album

Some Girls "The DNA Will Have It's Say"released 5/10/05Well, by the time I'm done typing this review I could have played this album twice. I've read lot's of reviews on this album, and no one commented on the fact that its a 7 song EP and clocks in at a little over 6 minutes. But coming from Three One G records, you know what to expect. Something fast, loud, angry... and fast. Some Girls is like

Circa Survive "Juturna"released 4/19/05This is the looong awaited debut album from Circa Survive on Equal Vision Records. As many people know, Anthony Green, the singer of Circa Survive, was the driving force behind his last band SAOSIN. The band made such HUGE waves in the music scene with just one 5 song EP. So, there was a tremendous buzz behind Circa Survive before the release of this album.

The Mars Volta "Frances The Mute"released 3/1/05ok, so, if you are expecting to hear At The Drive-in because Cedric and Omar of ATDI are the frontmen of this band, then stop reading. There is soo much to say about this album, I don't even know if I can think of it all right now to put in this review. It's 77 minutes long, there's 5 "songs" put onto 11 tracks, 12 if you want to include the last

Death Cab For Cutie "The John Byrd EP"limited editionFirst off, it's Death Cab For Cutie. This is a 7 track, 8 song EP (there are 2 songs on track 7) Anyway, this was mixed awesome, because these tracks were recorded from 3 different shows. If you didn't look at the inside booklet you wouldn't have known, it was really done well. I would've preferred other tracks on this ep, but oh well, it's

Bright Eyes "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning"released 1/25/05What can I say that hasn't been said about this album before? Probably not much. In the month of January you couldn't pick up a music magazine or a New York magazine without Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes being mentioned. This is the album I've been waiting 2 years for, since their last great full length release "Lifted, or the story is in

Zolof The Rock And Roll Destroyer "The Popsicle EP"released 9/16/04By the name it sounds like the album cover should have a diesel greek god smashing the shit out of a monster with an axe shaped like a guitar, but in actuality the album cover should really look like the powerpuff girls fighting mojo jojo. This album is so damn pop that I LOVE it!! It's so friggin cute, I can't even describe it. I

Hot Water Music "New What Next"released 9/21/04I've been a HWM fan for a few years and I have to say this is my favorite release of theirs. Alot of people will laugh at that, but I think it's great. From the first second when you hear Chuck inhale for a deep, cigarette scarred breathe, you know its HWM, and it will rock. It's a little more melodic than their other releases, and theres even

The Velvet Teen "Elysium"released 8/3/2004Alternative Press gave this album a bad review but fuck that, I like this album. Bands are allowed to evolve and they have. A new drummer, a new sound. They have traded in their guitar driven tracks for all piano/keyboard tracks. The album clocks in just over 45 minutes but theres only 8 tracks, and the last track is 1:30, so as you can see there are some

Bjork "Medulla"released 8/31/04I love Bjork. She is so good, very weird, but always moving forward and ahead with her music. The Icelandic Choir makes appearances on 6 tracks, and the London choir performs on one track, so you gotta expect some great back up vocals... and it lives up to expectations, and beyond. There are some very weird tracks, but that's Bjork for you. One song is sung in

Quantice Never Crashed "Quantice Never Crashed"released 10/26/04Aside from being my younger brothers band, i fuckin love this band! The music is great and intense. The song writing and lyrics are great, it's just a solid hardcore album. I love Philly, the singer's, voice; He's got alot of power behind those young vocal chords. The guitars are technical, and i love the transitions between heavy to

Hot Snakes "Audit In Progress"released 10/5/04I heard good things about this band, and bought the cd based on those words. Its a straight forward rockin cd with an artsy, garagey rock sound to it. The music is simplistic yet stupendous. (That sounds gay, I was trying to sound clever). It's just a very catchy punk rock cd. Their artsyness comes out on songs like "Kreative Kontrol" with lyrics like

Blood Brothers "Crimes"released 10/12/04At first I thought this album rocked, but the 3rd song mellowed out the album. After a first listen i was disappointed, I thought "Where did the crazyness of these motherfuckers go?" True, I believe this album is a lot more toned down than their other releases, but this is my favorite. I'm all more artist's maturing, but only when they are still making
