My first impressions are always soooo wrong. Take for example my first impression of a the first line on the first song off of the Fighter Pilots debut CD Atomic Anthem “you saw me naked in all my clothes” I thought “that’s lame, I hate plays on words” But the song continued and my opinion changed quickly. . Seems this is a break up song, and a damn good one too. What lead singer David

What can I say about The Beeps that hasn't already been said? Well my personal opinion: it takes a lot of talent to make it sound this easy. I love The Beeps. However, I'm not a hipster, I'm not into Bond films, and I've never ordered a Martini neither shaken nor stirred. I am though an old high school band nerd. I am impressed by people who can play more than one instrument, transpose

"Please play me, cause I'm asking you to" sing Ridicule on one of their many catchy songs. And why shouldn't you play them? I mean come on they even said please. I met these dudes about 3 weeks ago at a 3 Cent Nickle show. They weren't on the bill they were just there to show their support for the local scene.

Seriously I can't remember the last time I even listened to the radio. Okay I guess I listen to the radio once a week. I do a call in to a local radio station once a week on Thursdays and give updates about what local bands are playing shows and where. I listen so I know what the DJ's are talking about. Other than that all I listen to is music I've found on the internet. Free downloads from

I could go on and on about three bands, and I'm about to. Okay, you had your warning, cause I'm about to go off. Back Bone Shiver-Don't let the cool name fool you. There is no pop idealism involved in the music of this man. He's so damn modest too, but talent just doesn't hide very well from modesty.

Los Angeles based singer songwriter Heather Sullivan has used her diverse musical talents to stay afloat not only in an industry but also a city that boasts some of the toughest, most cut throat, competition there can possibly be for a person trying to break through as a musician. Not being bound to only one style of music is what has given Heather constant success. While some artists were busy

I really enjoy when I can get lost, engulfed, fall into a song. When music pours through my headphones like water and washes everything away. It can be like waves crashing down on you, leaving you motionless exposing our vulnerability, or even our mortality. Or it can roll like a gentle stream or a slow flowing river, who's waters are inviting and they make time stand still. You can just float

I'll be doing reviews of a couple of supergroups I recently had the pleasure of running across. From New Haven Connecticut, it's a family affair for the group known as Thorn (Conscience) Here's what a friend of mine had to say about their song The Waitress: Rockin out on a piano is so often done badly but man you've hit the the nail on the head here. Great recording, excellent piano work.

"It's okay, I'm scared too, that means we're doing this thing correctly" - This is the first line I ever heard sung by Sickboy lead singer Mark Spence, and it's been stuck in my head along with a few more of Sickboy's songs ever since. A three piece from Atlanta Georgia Sickboy is lead by Mark Spence, who even though is barely reaching his mid 20's is already a veteran of the local Atlanta

Ever wonder to yourself, what if Beck didn’t have a drum machine?  What if Moby didn’t have a turn table?  What if Trent Reznor didn’t have a computer?  What would their music sound like?  I didn’t either, until I ran across the band Kunek, from Stillwater Oklahoma. All the sonic beauty found in the music by the artists mentioned above can be found in the music of Kunek, minus the technology.

I have gone from one extreme to the other in the last 24 hours and I cant wait to tell you more about both. Last night I listened to three songs from some hometown rockers Gramercy Riff. This is some heavy heavy stuff. Dual guitars, what I first thought was dual vocals turns out to be quadrophonic vocals, yes, 4 voices= mucho sound. This is Heavy Metal.

They have the tools, and they know how to use them. Pinktricity Out of St Petersburg Fla. A new band by the name Pinktricity is slowly starting to gain the momentum they hope can carry them through an East Coast Summer tour then back into the the studio to record some new songs. Having rocked Florida with steady success recently Pintricity is currently getting ready to hit the road for thier

Anne Davis: Letters, Prayers, and Journal entries I received my review copy of Anne Davis' debut CD last week. I listened to it twice and I was just blown away. I could not believe how good it was. I sat down to write a review for it but I didn't know where to start, there was just so much about the album I liked. I decided to take the advice a friend once gave me. He told me if I ever

Planet of Sound recently caught up with independent artist Richard Kapp the interrogation went something like this: So how did your last show go? Where did it take place? I recently had a concert in May with the band "Nicht King Kong" (http://www.nkk.at.tt) at the Aera in Vienna. It was a very nice gig, but there could have been more visitors, hehe! So what are your plans for the next six

I recently caught up with Yomp of Back Bone Shiver to ask him a few questions on how, what, when, and why he does what he does. So how long has your band been together Solo, mmm 12 months I suppose So how your last show go. Where did it take place Last gig was in Brisbane, can't remember the exact venue, I was mortally pissed but I got an excellent response. Oh hang on no it wasn't it was in

I was bumming around Garageband earlier tonight thinking about the Mana show that rocked my world last Halloween this got me going. I went looking for a band that listed Mana as an influence I found about 8 I'll only comment on one of them. Stoic Frame from Long Beach. These dudes blew me away. They also listed Rage, U2, The Red Hots, and the Doors. I can't tell you guys how many times i've

Sickboy Atlanta, GA This band should soon start buzzing harder than Paris Hilton at her 13th birthday party. My boy Yomp of Back Bone Shiver (burr..) turned me on to them. He said in his Mancurian accent "This new band is tops, honest they are" So I listened and they are. Heavy heavy guitar, it sounds like the Strokes went back in time found the Hooters beat them up took they're instruments

I'm fascinated by cities that somehow live and breath music. I live in Bakersfield California where the music is just intense. You want diversity? Okay I'll give you diversity. In the past it was Buck Owens who was given credit for creating our signature. Today ask any local who they feel should be credited for creating our more recent sound, and they'll probably give the credit to bands

Just as I predicted Pinktricity is moving on up the GarageBand "Rock" charts. Their song Undone is at a very respectable #143 out of 1200 total songs. They're getting big compliments on their vocal harmonizing and heavy bass sound. I would have heard at leat one Pixies comparison, I guess I was wrong there. They currently have a five song ep however they plan on hitting the road soon with the

Event Horizon-UltraViolet Uforia Sometimes I think the word eclectic is the most over used word in the English language, so I'll try to only use it once as I attempt to describe the sound of UlrtaViolet Uforia on their latest release Event Horizon. Their sound is eclectic with a range of influences that starts at Frank Zappa and ends with Sarah McLachlin. This band took me on a wild road trip

Ok just a couple of real quick pieces of information every music lover should know. I've searched and searched the internet for the dope spot to find new music and Garageband seems to be the place. There are a few others out there but as far as offering a little bit of everything, Garageband. Ok there is a brand new band on Garageband that just made their way into the second round. I listened

Good Old Stuff I was rummaging through the dumpster on Garageband recently when an artist calling himself Yomp introduced himself to me. He is in the beginning stages of forming yet another band informed me and asked me to have a listen to his music to see what I thought. He's listed under band name Back Bone Shiver on garage band but also has his own website. After reading a little bio on

To date I've had the chance to listen to and review some really great songs by a handful of really talented musicians. I had yet to listen to an entire albums worth of music by an artist until recently. Roll with the Flow by singer/songwriter Elisabeth Carlisle is just that it's an album. It's not a collection of demos it's not 3 new songs along with 8 old songs with a different line up of the

It's not just because I think that I can write. More because I feel I owe it to the music, I want everyone to take it as seriously as I have. I've said before that if I were more conscience about it I would have music on 24/7. I've already abandoned television. Really only watching a couple of shows a week and of course movies and concerts on DVD, VHS has slowly phased itself out of my life.

"New York New York it's a hell of a town You know the Bronx is up, but i'm Brooklyn down"-MCA-Beastie Boys Radiate from the NYC these guys flippin' rock hard core, bordering on Marilyn Manson style. Right on the same level as Nine Inch Nails, and Rage Against the Machine. Matter of fact on first listening to one could easily suggest that it sounds like Rage produced by Trent Reznor. But apon

Hey Punk! Ok time to brag a little about my town. Bakersfield, CA has the phat music scene and you can't deny it. Even if you can deny it I won't believe you so don't waste your time trying to convince me. Go start your own blog try and convince the others. You might as well try and tell them the sky is falling as well. I knew Bako did all types of music but I never knew we did punk.

Cool Beach Tunes Zach Madden was one of the fist independent musicians whose music just blew me away. I was surfing around on GarageBand one day and clicked on the track of the day. It was Zach's song 'Scribble Down'. Scribble down is one of the most honest and sincerest ballads I've heard in a long time. An aching heart confession put into words and then backed up with some sweet acoustic

Don't go Breakin her heart, she's from Texas Megan Melara will never have to say "if I don't make it in music I can always go back to school" That is because she's already done with school. Having earned a degree by age 22 she felt she lacked something in her life. Knowing she had an education to fall back on she took a chance by buying a guitar and heading for that famous music city Austin,
