Most music that is heavily punk influenced can sound very similar. It can be really good but in the end they all have a common sound to them. Electro punk, Post-punk anything punk can get a little boring at times. Yet if there was ever a punk influenced band that could break that stereotype it

The article I’m responding to can be found here. First and foremost, Pitchfork is a website with success that I cannot and will not degrade; they have earned every bit of their popularity. My reviews may never amount to anything close to what Pitchfork puts out on a daily basis, but the curious difference [...]Related posts:Owl City – Ocean Eyes As I checked the mail today I was excited...Th

I am kicking myself for not bringing Minuit to the attention of all AWMusic readers sooner. How I let a review of their third album, Find Me Before I Die A Lonely Death Dot Com, slip by is beyond my comprehension, and no doubt electro-pop fanatics will question my judgement once they feast their ears [...]Related posts:The Ascent of Everest – How Lonely Sits the City Review Nashville’s The As

Since breaking onto the scene in 2000, The Starting Line has relentlessly touted and toured their infectious brand of pop punk around North America, until the announcement of their hiatus, slash, break-up, slash, need to spend some time apart, in 2008. As either a going away present to a very loyal fan base, or [...]Related posts:Miss Maya “Red Dress” mp3 Considering how often I whip up play

We haven’t or at least I haven’t been personally great with promoting local talent and admittedly I’d like to take the time to do so every now and then. Four great local bands, not all from Toronto but from the surrounding areas and are playing a show at The Garrison on Saturday November 28th.I’m familiar [...]Related posts:Black Hat Brigade – Fathers EP Review Alright, I’m going to t

For the past decade, it’s been interesting to see the evolution of a band created from one man and his emotions and experiences. This evolution has come at the cost of the happiness of one Jon Crosby, the man behind the moniker “VAST”. In that time the music has taken on a tone of [...]Related posts:VAST – Visual Audio Sensory Theater Review Jon Crosby is known for many pseudonyms but pe

Before I go into any specifics about the album, I have a quick disclaimer: If the only Weezer you will listen to is Pinkerton and The Blue Album, stay far, far away from Raditude. Case in point: Lil’ Wayne contributes a verse on one song. So, if Weezer’s lean toward the mainstream sickens [...]No related posts. Sorry.

First let me start off by saying that there should be a word limit to album titles, sometimes they get out of hand. There also needs to be some kind of truth in advertising thing as well, I mean, The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show sounds a wee bit [...]Related posts:AWmusic.ca Music Show?

“I think that possibly maybe I’m falling for you.”Earlier Landon Pigg was mentioned in a music commercial post. If “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop,” was played a general consensus would state that the song is from a ring commercial on television, even though Pigg has released other singles from his second album [...]Related posts:Musical Perspective on Commercials “Pink and black an

I’m still debating how worthy Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion is (e.g. it probably is top 10 worthy but I still need some more convincing/time with the album). It’s good and I’ve come back to it on occasional but not being that biggest Animal Collective fan to begin with, it’s hard to say how much [...]Related posts:Animal Collective – Summertime Clothes Music Video Revi

We All Have Hooks For Hands is a band is a South Dakota band signed to Afternoon Records. I was actually interested after listening to a few things as much as it polarized me.One thing I should point out immediately, Eli Show has one annoying voice. Not that it’s important or anything but reviewing the [...]Related posts:Review – The Idle Hands – The Hearts We Broke On The Way To The Show F

In part because I thought it’d be fun to have back to back picks of the week with the word ‘Whale’ in the title of the band name, and in part because I’ve been listening to Noah and the Whale’s The First Days of Spring almost exclusively this week, I present to you… Noah and [...]Related posts:Noah and the Whale – Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down Review These days, a certain sound o

I know I am jumping on the bandwagon of Neon Indian reviews a bit late but this ep definitely deserves just a bit more attention. Alan Polamo and Alicia Scardetta were the buzz of the summer and this album doesn’t disappoint. Everyone keeps saying it is reminiscent of the forgotten 80s which I [...]Related posts:Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer MP3 review There’s nothing that gets hipsters t

Welcome to the island of misfit ideas. Welcome to a land dominated by the id and the ego. This is Puscifer. Deep within the recesses of Maynard James Keenan’s mind lives a world that just does not fit his other projects. What is Puscifer? The opportune question should be how do you describe it? It’s [...]No related posts. Sorry.

Girls, a band out of San Francisco, California is a band that benefitted from a significant Pitchfork review with a 9.1 score out of 10. That’s put them in top 5 album of the year company. That score alone did induce me to check out the album but of course I’m doing an album review [...]Related posts:Boys Like Girls – Love Drunk If you listen to the radio at all, which...Coko Galore’s New

I think this is a first for me. I have heard, and seen, many, many, many different musical instruments in performance but this may be the first time I’ve heard a musical saw being used. Will Hanson uses it liberally in this collection of nine, um, unique (?) songs. I’m hesitant to [...]No related posts. Sorry.

I’m tired of hearing about shit that “sounds like Panda Bear” too, which is what makes New Zealand’s Signer such a damned impressive find. I wouldn’t even necessarily say that Signer sounds that much like Panda Bear, but I can understand why it would make sense to use Noah Lennox as a reference point for [...]Related posts:Main Offenders bring hip hop back to the streets I sat on the pa
