Anarbor – The Words You Don’t Swallow

Reviewed by Nate Smith I’ve always enjoyed Anarbor. They put on a great live show full of energy, stage presence, and plain fun. We had the chance to interview them on the Take Action Tour last year in Las Vegas and they were the type of guys you’d want to have in your friend circle. […]

We are the Union – Great Leaps Forward

Reviewed by Nate Smith This is the best record I have heard in years.

The Classic Crime – Vagabonds

Reviewed by Nate Smith I’ve always loved the Classic Crime’s name. Simply because, what in the world is a classic crime? I think that a classic crime consists of crimes that have been repeated over and over in history therefore making it a “classic”. The Classic Crime’s new album “Vagabonds” came with a few surprises.
