Fight With Tools
Tue, 06 May 2008 07:45:30
To define Denver, CO's Flobots as a hip-hop group would be an almost criminal generalization. Sure, emcees Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit utilize the same syncopated and rhythmic vocal delivery that any other artist in the genre would, but the rap comparisons all but stop there. With a backing band ... more

Antidotes
Mon, 21 Apr 2008 07:40:35
The British press is obsessed with labeling bands, and more often than not, this limiting practice usually does the fledgling act a disservice (case in point: the ridiculous, NME-born "new rave" label offered to Klaxons). In this instance, Oxford, England’s Foals has been deemed "math rock," a ...more
Live in Phoenix
Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:01:41
Fall Out Boy may very well be the MySpace generation's only true rock stars. How many rock bands can still fill arenas? How many play bombastic, larger-than-life shows complete with pyrotechnics, mass sing-a-longs and gasp, gaggles of girl fans? Rock has become so boring in the past few years. ...more
The Elephant in the Room
Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:55:32
For anyone afraid that Fat Joe's ongoing feud with 50 Cent may be over-shadowing his music at this point, Elephant In The Room won't do much to dispel that notion. Backed by grandiose Phantom of the Opera orchestration, paper thin keyboard presets, and enough guests that you don’t really have to ...more
The Midnight Organ Fight
Tue, 01 Apr 2008 07:33:15
This spasmodic Glasgow-based band has steadily increased its ranks, from a two-person organization to three and now more, as its ambitions have necessitated a bigger, wilder sound. Their sophomore album still bears traces of their moniker's implication, with repetitious strumming and vibrato that ...more
Mail on Sunday
Tue, 18 Mar 2008 12:37:33
Flo-Rida's Mail On Sunday arrives just in time for spring, when the weather across the country is breaking and windows in low riders are being rolled down, begging for music to blare from them! Mail On Sunday is littered with more guest appearances than the couch on any given week at The David ...more
From First to Last
Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:00:23
From First To Last have a bit of conundrum on their self-titled debut for Interscope, as they've since graduated from Epitaph after a healthy career that flourished under that indie label. From First To Last isn't quite punk rock, yet it's certainly not paint-by-numbers screamo, either. It's not as ...more
Free at Last
Wed, 21 Nov 2007 10:04:48
Freeway is a man with a lot on his mind. Maybe it's because he's been saddled with such great expectations since his critically acclaimed 2003 debut, Philadelphia Freeway. Maybe it stems from the four-year hiatus between that album and his latest release, Free at Last, during which time he faced ...more
Widow City
Mon, 08 Oct 2007 14:36:54
After spending the past two years recording albums and performing
concerts that pushed their brand of narrative story-songs in
directions that were often too off-putting for casual listeners, The
Fiery Furnaces's sixth record, Widow City, finds the sibling duo
streamlining their style into ...more
Dave Grohl's Foo Fighters long ago secured a reputation as one of rock's most reliable bets—and Grohl himself as one of the industry's most affable ambassadors. On their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace, they continue their pace, but without the peppering of truly great songs ...more
