A low-energy author heads out on a book tour that becomes more and more nightmarish as his life falls apart.
Dodge and Burn (Third Man Records). Review by Jen Cray.
Atari Teenage Riot came to Firestone Live to pound out the techno into a modern political landscape where the people rise above totalitarian and authoritarian control. It’s the kind of futuristic idealism that local scribe Eric Donath can’t miss, and to ice that cake is Otto von Schirach, a bass-heavy freak with street-cred like a rap-sheet symphony.
Queens of the Stone Age (Rekords Rekords). Review by James Mann.
Hello=Fire (Schnitzel Records). Review by Jen Cray.
These days Juliette Lewis is more a musician who makes movies when she’s not touring than an actress who dabbles as a rockstar. Anyone who has seen her live show, as Jen Cray has, can attest to the validity of the stake she’s claimed on rock ‘n’ roll.
It’s home run #3 for Jack White as The Dead Weather redefines normal expectations for a live show. Jen Cray witnessed a recent Orlando date and is still buzzing from the high of an unforgettable performance.
Glitter in the Gutter (Adeline). Review by Jen Cray.
Fair To Midland are blessed, and cursed, with the title “the first band to be signed to Serj Tankian’s label.” Jen Cray sat down with vocalist Darroh Sudderth and keyboardist Matt Langley outside of Orlando’s House of Blues just before the second night of their first ever major tour.
Milk (Exotic Recordings). Review by Andrew Ellis.
A post-grunge double header, with Foo Fighters and Weezer. Jen Cray is awed.
The Moto-Litas. Review by Stein Haukland.
Atomic Ritual (Liquor and Poker). Review by Stein Haukland.
Hooray! It’s a Deathtrip (SPV). Review by Stein Haukland.
The Moto-Litas. Review by Stein Haukland.
Thirteenth Step (Virgin). Review by Julio Torres.
