The fact that not many people know about this band yet is something that really annoys me, and I can only hope that anybody reading this review is convinced enough by the end to go and check them out. RUBY TIGERS are an Aussie band that blend indie rock …

The first time I heard this song was when I was nine and you would not imagine that age I certainly understood what this song is all about. Don’t forget me is an old song coming from Captain and Tennille the husband and wife team. This is a good …

Beanie Sigel is considered by many to be an underrated rapper. Though I’m not a huge fan of his, I appreciate his unique style. I just think behind his clever rhymes he kind of has an odd delivery and voice to be honest. Mac Man is the 4th track …

The first band, House of Heroes, played a very short set (only 4 songs) and didn’t seem to catch the crowd’s attention very well. They had an energetic show, just not a lot of stage presence. I had done my homework and learned the words to some of the …

Dominated Love Slave is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Kerplunk. Something I should mention immediately about this track is that it certainly does not have the traditional sound of Green Day. For one thing, the instrumentation and music on the track certainly doesn’t have …

I have always been the kind of person who admires music. Not only is it an art, it finds a way into your soul. Music is able to be related to and in the moment when you find a certain song, you feel like you are no longer alone …

I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …

Out of all the songs in Taylor Swift’s new album Speak Now, this song… Sparks Fly is one of my favorites. It’s just absolutly incredible, its a love story like no other, just playing in your ears. When I hear this song I just go through story after story …

Power Quest have always been a band that i am constantly frustrated with. They always hinted at greatness, but for some reason were never really able to put it all together when needed the most. I’m happy to report though that with this new album Blood Alliance, all the …

At this time, many old bands who started releasing albums. Is this just a proof, that they still exist or that their creativity is still there? One of them is MSG. When I first listened to 12 songs in this album, in passing, I had felt strange. Overall, beat …

Sometimes I watch a performance of live music and you have to wonder whether you are being asked to buy into the song, or the looks of the artist. I asked myself this when watching the X-Factor Final and Rhianna came out to perform.
She was singing her new song, …

It’s not even a normal cover, it’s one of those gorgeous …

My husband gave me this perfume as his present last Christmas. I have never tried this perfume before until he gave one to me. Its scent is not something that I will get addicted too (unlike the J’Adore which scent is very addictive, ahhhh!). Its alright, but …

For us those who are old enough to catch the tail-end of 80’s rock, rock icons Guns N’ Roses are definitely something we can be nostalgic about. Hard-core fans definitely miss the music of unique guitar sounds, equally unique and incredible song structure and craftsmanship and wildcat howls …
