Favorite Album, Overrated Album, Underrated Album with The Sword
I ask Kyle Shutt the guitar player for the legendary metal-stoner-blues-rock band The Sword what his all time favorite album is, what his most overrated album is, and what his most underrated album is. Plus I review the band's new album, Used Future.
Album Review: Underoath – Erase Me | Its Dangerous Business Leaving Your Old Sound
Bottom line: Erase Me is not an Underoath record. Same band name, because that is what everyone knows them as, but if I am being honest, this sounds a lot more like the second Sleepwave record. Screamo is officially dead, and Underoath get that. But, I just cannot get into this.
Ghost Brothers of Darkland County : John Cougar-Mellencamp, Stephen King, MTV, Kris Kristofferson, The Wizard of Oz, and Neko Case??
What does John Mellencamp, Stephen King, a shitty Netflix musical, Neko Case, Kris Kristofferson, Axl Rose, Def Leopard, MTV and the Wizard of Oz have in common? I literally have no idea, but here is a review of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County.
Wye Oak: The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs | Embracing the Future while Barely Looking Back
The Louder I Call, The Faster It Runs is not a defining artistic statement for Wye Oak. Arguably that is the make or break desperation and immediacy of Civilian; however, this time around, it finds Jenn Wasner and Andy Stack growing more comfortable into the sonic palate they’ve found themselves in.
I (Don’t) Hate That: Joanna Newsom
Coop hates Lisa Simpson vocals and Joanna Newsom. Kendon loves Joanna Newsom and (apparently?) Lisa Simpson vocals. On this edition of "I (Don't) Hate That", Kendon tries to convince Coop that Joanna Newsom isn't just pretentious art-folk.
Sonny Rollins: Way Out West (2018 Reissue) | East Coast Meets West Coast
Craft Recordings' 2018 reissue of Sonny Rollins' 1957 record Way Out West offers a deeper look into his historic session with Shelly Manne and Ray Brown, writes M Milner, making it a worthy reissue of a jazz classic!
Album and Beer Pairing: Rolling Stones – Some Girls | Samuel Smith – Oatmeal Stout
The punk and disco infused Rolling Stones' Some Girls pairs well with Samuel Smith's oatmeal stout, a once popular beer in the 1800's before it was made famous once again in the 1980's thanks to the traditionalist brewery of Yorkshire.
David Byrne: American Utopia | A Fearless American Dream
American Utopia is quite possibly the bravest album of David Byrne's career. The main reason is because it is fearless. I'm not even the biggest Talking Heads fan. I'm a writing this as a fan of American Utopia, this is the American dream I can agree with.
Jimi Hendrix: Both Sides of the Sky | More Dirt than Paydirt
The new Jimi Hendrix collection Both Sides of the Sky is yet another look into where his music was headed circa 1970. With tracks featuring Johnny Winter, Stephen Stills and Buddy Miles it sounds exciting, but as B.G.M.'s M Milner writes, it promises more than it delivers.
