It is a project that was years in the making. Eric Campuzano, credited with The Prayer Chain, Starflyer 59, The Lassie Foundation, and Cush has provided yet another piece of gorgeous ear candy. With help from the Frank Lenz Foundation, Campuzano gives the listener a disc of drone filled ballads. Continue Fono- It's The Way That You Use It
Seeing a CD review of the band Fono is most likely to bring one of two responses: 1) Who is Fono? 2) Holy crap, I can't believe they're still around! For me it was the second response. I was a big fan of the band's debut album Goes Around Comes Around way back in 1999 when I lived for Christian rock. Even now I could go back to that album and appreciate it quite a bit. Continue

I don't even know where to start. This is one of those CDs that you just can't get enough of. Bernard has this kind of great emo type thing going on. But they seem to take off where most emo bands leave off. Their great piano-heavy guitar rock hits a nerve. With this deep of a sound it's hard to believe these guys are a three piece. Some might only be able to handle these guys in small doses. It's hard to deny the flashes of dynamic genius these guys display. Continue Wilderness Of Tekoa- The Skies Pale In Comparison
Wilderness of Tekoa could very well be one of the best bands of late to hit the rock scene. They formed in West Palm Beach, Florida back in 2004, releasing one independent EP, which must have grabbed the attention of Northern. Northern signed the boys and helped them release their first full-length record, The Skies Pale In Comparison. Continue
It's a bit of everything—a lot of Jyro's voice soaring majestically and passionately over epic riffs combined with sweeter moments and poetic lyrics that always, always serve the music. I've always loved the sound they got on the guitars— huge and heavy, but warm, not abrasive; a beautiful ear-candy kind of heavy distortion that is often enough as head-banging as ever. There is just something majestic about this album. Continue
Let's get this out of the way right from the start—sophomore slump? OneRepublic? Uh, no. It doesn't take but a few minutes of their latest, Waking Up, to show these guys have gotten better and are far from done. It's a hell of a lot more engrossing of a record, taking a page from recent work of Eye Alaska more than anything these guys have done in the past, but the change suits OneRepublic's abilities. Continue
Well well. The new Hopesfall. After Hopesfall and Satellite Years, this is their third album. I was curious about this album because I always thought Hopesfall was a band with a large potential. Hardcore elements mixed with an indie feel with riffs that would be appropriate on an At The Drive-In album. Continue
Fold Zandura is one of those bands that was plagued by bad luck. They have had the worst luck when it comes to record labels. I really believe that's one of the reasons they never had a bigger following. I wish I knew how to describe their sound. One thing you have to love about these guys is they sound like no other band you will ever hear. Continue
The long-awaited dream has finally come to pass. Brothers Ronnie (Joy Electric) and Jason (Starflyer 59) have come together to record an album. If you're a music geek like I am, you've been fantasizing about this record for years. Keeping to a tidy 10 tracks, The Brothers Martin launches with their most co-written effort, "Communication." This track is credited to The Brothers Martin, and the nine tracks to follow are credited to Ronnie or Jason specifically. Continue
