If the Wonder years were a slot machine then I’ve hit the jackpot. With lyrics so true to life, music I can relate to, and an overall sense of perfection their newest release (Suburbia I’ve given you all and now I’m Nothing) is one of the best I’ve heard this year.
Owl City has a lot to live up to. With the last Owl City record going platinum I was curious to see just what Adam Young could pull off the 2nd time around.
Reviewed by Nate Smith We’re living in an era with bad music that record producers keep shoving in our faces. On “Lonely Twins” by Hospital Ships I was excited to hear a fresh new sound that not only captured my ears but left me with a taste of wanting more. Hailing from the small college […]
Reviewed by Nate Smith Face to Face has been bringing Punk Rock to the masses for the last 20 years.

Texas in July (Equal Vision Records) brings it so heavy you’ll even feel it when your dead. Their new record “One Reality” is full of skill, force, and an overall sense of something great. It opens with a 2 minute song called Introduction. I’m not even sure that Introduction prepares you for the onslaught of […]

It’s hard to hate Weezer and at times hard to love them. After the “Blue Album” we cant help but be fans for life waiting for that record that will top it. On their new release “hurley” they bring their classic sound back that the fans have been waiting for. I cant say it’s better than “The Blue Album” or Pinkerton but I like it more that the last few albums they put out.
