Pepper | Pink Crustaceans And Good Vibrations

The heavily reggae influenced rock act is back with yet another musical masterpiece. I don’t think these guys could make a bad record even if they tried they just ooze talent both musically and lyrically. The first song on the album is “Freeze” but you definitely won’t be sitting still nor cold listening to this [...]

Lost Boys: The Tribe Soundtrack

When it comes to movie soundtracks more often than not they either don’t contain the songs in the film or really don’t share the vibe or image the film is portraying. This soundtrack definitely portrays the dark and dismal image which is typically associated with vampires. Aiden opens the album with the theme of the [...]

Total Dance 2008 Vol. 2

For anyone out there who is living locked up in their house with no radio, this CD would be very new to you. Otherwise anyone with a radio or who enjoys some nights out on the town hitting up the clubs and bars knows all these songs all too well. The album contains a very [...]

Simplify Media: Start sharing your music!

I recently met up with a good friend of mine from New Jersey, and we started talking about some of the new startups in the industry, as well as the different sites popping up around the web. One of the sites he showed me, Simplify Media, really struck a chord, and I decided to explore [...]

Fans: Your best friend or your worst enemy

If someone has a bad experience, (whether it be at a restaurant, while renting a car, or getting snubbed by their favorite band or musician) there is no doubt that they will tell at least 10 people, and those 10 will each tell someone, and before you know it, you are out of business. As [...]

Miley Cyrus “Breakout”

The tween who has taken America by storm with her TV show and alter ego Hannah Montana has released an album under her real name, Miley Cyrus. Being the daughter to famous and popular Billy Ray Cyrus, has definitely benefitted her in knowing what to expect in the industry. The twelve tracks on the album [...]

The Scenic “Find Yourself Here”

Victory Records seems to have a knack for producing very energetic, catchy and compelling acts as this is yet another of their many (see Hawthorne Heights, Aiden, etc). “The American Way” is filled with echoing backing vocals, rambunctious drum work, edgy guitar and booming bass play all placed picturesque behind the belting of colorful lyrics. [...]

The Saturday Knights “Mingle”

I don’t even know where to possibly begin with this album. This CD is full of some real, raw hip hop at its finest. Filled with infectious beats, witty rhymes and most importantly energized fun. The fun begins from the first second “45” starts. A heavy yet free flowing beat carries along the colorful lyrics [...]

SkatterBand Music Review | Hypercush “The Arcade”

Break out your dance shoes and some crazy neon clothes in order to fit in with this electronic dance friendly album. It starts off crazily on “Robo Tech” with wild electronic sounds and simple vocals to accompany it. The beat is really quite mesmerizing and as they say on the song, they will “see your [...]
