> jars of clay - live monsters

Jars of Clay is one of the few bands who can take an already good album or song, record it live,and to my ears they are better than the studio version. (Revolution was one example of this)
With “Live Monsters” Jars of Clay perform some great live versions of songs from Good Monsters, which may be [...]

the waterboys - book of lightning releasing in the US 8/21

The Waterboys are releasing a new album “book of lightning” on 8/21/07. This is the first album of all new material in quite a while. (Universal Hall was a live album, Mike Scott had several solo albums, there were several greatest hits packages, out-takes from Fisherman’s Blues ….)
For those who keep track of such things, [...]

paramore - riot passes 100K sold

With the news that this album passes 100k sold, (which is not surprising seeing the # of plays the band has @ purevolume) I guess it is time to write about it. I have always been a sucker for a female fronted rock band , so that is what initially drew me to [...]

paper route -ep

Not bad, 1 trip to the Phantom Tollbooth and 2 new bands to check out! (The other one is The Parker Theory in the previous post) This one is called Paper Route, which I would describe as acoustic rock with some electronic touches thrown in. A review of their EP can be found [...]

mxpx - secret weapon review

MXPX have been around for over 10 years which is an eternity in the music world now. It’s good to see them back on Tooth & Nail and Secret Weapon is a good fresh start. Of course musically it is the pop/punk you come to expect from the band and the gang vocals make [...]

Wavorly - Conquering the Fear of Flight

This album had been out a few months before I gave it a listen. Those who bought this album after hearing the song “Praise and Adore” no doubt are surprised after the strings of Introducing fade and Madmen kicks in. It doesn’t let up with Part One another song I have listened to alot lately. [...]

Bill Mallonee / Victory Garden - Permafrost

This was released in late 2006 and somehow escaped my knowledge. After several years of hardship Bill is back with a new band and he is sounding in fine form. Here’s hoping the masses finely catch on to this great songwriter. Go to his website and buy some of his music.

andrew osenga - letters to the editor

Andrew Osenga may be one of the best singer songwriters you never heard of. If the name sounds familiar he was in the Normals (an under-rated band) and is currently in Caedmon’s Call. He has released a solo album called The Morning in 2006 and now releases this ep for download. The project [...]

ruth second hand dreaming

Imagine if the Jesus music of of the 70’s had occurred now in the current post -punk landscape. A band like Ruth is what you might expect to find. Lyrically the songs are straightforward and simple. In many cases songs like these might sound trite, but for some reason, instead they sound sincere [...]

everyday sunday - wake up! wake up! / inpop

wake up wake up indeed. I wanted to test out the new blog layout I customized from flickr so I decided to test it out with this album. I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I was never that taken with this band before this album but I could not get ” let’s [...]

all star united / love and radiation / 7spin records

loveandradiation, originally uploaded by drivebymedia.
All star united are back with a new album. It is their first album in 4 years and worth the wait. The power pop songs are filled with lyrics that are smart and clever. Some great lines occur in “Let’s RockTonight”. “Song of the Year” and “Jesus on the [...]
