The Hustle Gets Skatter Brained
(interview by Geoff Dellinger)
Here is a hip hop act that is a blend somewhere between Gym Class Heroes and The Roots. They take on a real new aura of the word music and present you a vastly diverse set of arrangements. The whole band took some time to answer the questions below aside from the [...]
Atmosphere Rocks Orlando with the Rhymesayers Crew
Who: Atmosphere, Abstract Rude, Blueprint, DJ Rare Grove
When: Saturday October 4th
Where: Club Firestone, Orlando, FL
As I rolled down the street looking for a free parking spot near the venue I was embraced by a line down the street and around the corner waiting to get into the venue. Upon getting in line and waiting patiently, [...]
Mutlu | Livin’ It
If you’re like me and looking for a nice chill out album, whether it’s to ease into your day at work, or just something to veg out, unwind and relax too… this is your CD. I never heard of this fella and took a chance by buying his CD and boy am I glad I [...]
Gym Class Heroes | The Quilt
The alternative hip hoppers are back with yet another wild and crazy CD that is destined for greatness not to mention hitting that repeat button over and over. There is an array of guests popping by to lending their voices to the already scorching hot album. Estelle kicks off first on the opening hip hop [...]
Electric Touch | Self-Titled
The group names says a lot as to what you’ll be hearing on the album, there is a very electronic presence felt throughout. It’s very noticeable on the opening track “Love In Our Hearts”. During the verses while the highly energized rock and roll aspect with pounding drums, ear splitting guitar rims, some tambourine and [...]
OPM | Golden State of Mind
If you’re into very diverse, original, funky styles of music, this is the album for you. The rock/reggae vibe is exceptional. The occasional rap adds flavor and the music; damn it’s just plain GOOD! “Family & Friends (Feat Big B)” is a prime example as it showcases the rolling yet bouncy guitar strums, banging bass [...]
Plain White T’s | Big Bad World
This record label just has a knack for putting out hits. Then again Plain White T’s aren’t exactly new to the fact of having a hit record on their hands. The overly poppy rock album is catchy, fun and strewn with emotion. “Serious Mistake” speaks volumes in the aspect of passionate and emotion filled lyrics. [...]
Ying Yang Twins | The Official Work
Well I used to really dig the sounds of Ying Yang’s albums but this album just didn’t sit well for me. Aside from all the useless and worthless time wasted on skits throughout the album, there are at least six of them; the music itself is just plain blah. “Swag” is a so-so song. It’s [...]
National Product gets Skatter Brained
We recently caught up with front man Danny Casler when he cruised through Orlando on the Endless Summer Tour with 1997 and a slew of other acts on the bill varying per show date. He takes a stab at our lengthy questionnaire as he passes time eating at Olive Garden…the life of a [...]
Eric Macek | Just Right
One of the brightest and budding stars in Los Angeles and his peers seem to agree as he was nominated and took home the Los Angeles award for best male vocalist of the year. That talent is shown on this truly emotional and passionate journey through the twelve songs he has compiled on this album. [...]
