The Bright Light Social Hour
Self-titled CD review by John Feuling One thing about Colorado bands: they sound a little like something else, yet they sound a lot different than anything else. The self-titled release from Bright Light Social Hour is no exception. The sparkly production on this record makes it a good listen, but the instrumentation and musicianship […]
The Longest Day Of The Year (TLDOTY) – Turn Into the Ground
by Guy Errickson thenakedstage.Net [email protected] Taking “High-Octane” to an outlaw extreme, Sean “t.Mule” Lamborne (t.Mule) comes out shootin’, howlin’ vocals and fiery acoustic blasting The Longest Day Of The Year (TLDOTY) into whisky-fueled flight. Dan O’Donnell‘s “phat” 5-string & tastefully raging drums by Darin Graber lay down the law, while Brian McCosky‘s (Mudbugs, with O’Donnell) […]

Action Friend [LP] For You The World By Sheila Broderick [email protected] The first time I saw this group, I think it was in December of 2010 at Moe’s BBQ. Since then they have come out with an excellent new 9-track album. Their sound is quite different; a mix between experimental, industrial and progressive jazz with […]

Omniism [LP] By the Swami [email protected] Chris Thomas, vocalist for Spools of Dark Thread, has released a rather prolific and highly anticipated solo project. Sticking to his penchant for the heavier side, Thomas shows strength and desire to create a more compact and refined sound the way of Powerman 5000 or mainstream Mushroomhead minus the […]
Lizzie Huffman – Pretty Old Soul
by Sal Christ [email protected] The rich maturity of Lizzie Huffman’s voice makes it incredibly hard to believe that she’s a whole 22 years old. Signed to local record label Suburban Home Records, Huffman fits easily in the Folk and Country arenas with the gently husky vocals, soft acoustic guitars, and usage of harmonica and tambourine. […]
Fotoshop – Lifeforms
by Sal Christ [email protected] Jarno-Erik Faarinen’s latest musical project, Fotoshop, is much like the homophone with which it shares its name: It takes something that’s already beautiful and enhances it. Self-released via BandCamp, Fotoshop’s first full-length album Lifeforms is a lush twist on nineties Synthpop meets Glitch meets Classical. A departure from his more Indie […]
