Well, here is part II as promised. I pared it down from six to five. I am somewhat going "out on a limb" on this one because, quite frankly, I am not very up on these bands. But, when I weeded through the new releases list for this week, these intrigued me. As I said before, I don't have the funds to buy all these albums. So, don't expect to read below a long write-up review on them. And, in so...
MP3: Jupiter One - "Flaming Arrow" from Sunshower, out September 15 on Ryko. Jupiter One will be opening up for Regina Spektor on her upcoming North American tour. "Flaming Arrow" will appeal to fans of Badly Drawn Boy and maybe...

Jupiter One's second album has some great songs, but it also gets mired in mediocre '70s-style pop here and there.Jupiter One's self-titled album was an unexpected surprise. Full of pop gems yet stylistically diverse, it was one of 2008's stronger debuts. Except that it was actually a reissue; the band originally self-released the album all the way back in 2005. So it's not a shock that the fol...
From different backgrounds and states, the members of this band found themselves having two things in common — a passion of music and New York City. Driven by various types of music and instruments, K shibashi and Zac Colwell (previously members of a circus band) joined up with Dave Heilman, Mocha and Pat "Panda" Dougherty to [...]

"Jupiter One are the Red Bull of New York rock music". There's your press cutting for the album, sounds good until you realise what we mean. Down a can and initially you feel energised, the relief quickly passes and we're left feeling even more lethargic than we were before.
