Third
Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:49:35
Portishead have returned, but you didn't need to be reminded of that. From the hype
surrounding their Coachella appearance and Third, their long-awaited follow-up to Portishead, the pressure has been on the band. Third has certainly been anxiously awaited by fans for a very long time. ... more

And You Were a Crow
Mon, 28 Apr 2008 07:17:44
The Parlor Mob's And You Were A Crow is going to be looked back on as one of 2008's seminal debut records. The Parlor Mob are more way than your average rock band. In fact, they create something refreshing, new and thought provoking. Songs shift from bar brawling rockers like "Hard Times" to ...more
The Last Tycoon
Fri, 18 Apr 2008 07:25:45
On the album cover for his first solo effort, a sketched Peter Morén is depicted sleeping beneath the folds of a bright red, fringed blanket. Take note. The singer—the Peter ingredient in Sweden's wildly popular trio, Peter Bjorn and John—might as well be sending you a message.

Raise the Dead

Whether they like it or not, Phantom Planet are always going to be best known and perhaps best remembered for their hit song, "California," which served as the ubiquitous theme song for the teen sudser, The OC. It's actually to the band's credit, because that memorable, career-defining song is an ...more
Pretty. Odd
Mon, 24 Mar 2008 16:00:35
On Pretty.Odd, Panic At The Disco have ditched the (!) that used to follow the word "Panic" in their name. They haven't ditched their knack for writing sugary-sounding, yet lush power pop punk ditties that have the tweenaged girls screaming their lungs out. It's painfully apparent that PATD have are ...more
Reason to Believe
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 07:41:14
Punk stalwarts Pennywise have sparked two revolutions with their latest album Reason to Believe. The first and most obvious comes with their chosen method of distribution. Reason to Believe will be released for free via MySpace.com for a two-week period—March 25th until April 8th. The album is one ...more
Texas
Mon, 17 Mar 2008 06:54:05
Texas sets a new standard for pop music. PlayRadioPlay!'s sole man-behind-the-curtain, Dan Hunter, has crafted an alterna-pop epic that's catchy, tongue-in-cheek and straight-up danceable. Clashing synth textures and pop-punk melodies, Hunter's found the middle ground between Justice and Blink ...more
A few things have happened in the P.O.D. camp since the release of their last album, Testify. Frontman Sonny Sandoval lobbed off his signature dreads. Gasp! In all seriousness, the Cali band left longtime label Atlantic for the new confines of Columbia. And prodigal son, guitarist Marcos Curiel, who ...more
And now from the depths of our "It Came Screaming From The 90s" file is the latest album from Seattle's The Presidents Of The United States, that jammy, yet goofy band, that scored a string of ubiquitous, goes-down-easy radio hits in the mid-90s in the form of "Lump" and "Peaches." Well, it's over ...more
Nostalgia can be a tricky thing to negotiate for modern, mainstream audiences, but on the whole London's Puppini Sisters escape its most obvious pitfalls. Three-part harmonies and 1940s jazz vocals are the name of the game on The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo, the group's second full-length album, which ...more
