Life Is Peachy, 1996 Album by Korn

Sounds of the Earth: Waterfall - Sounds Of The Earth Series

“F**kin’ A” by A.C. (Album, 2011)
The long-standing band A.C., whose offensive name is often abreviated as such, is notorious and infamous for their noise-filled “anti-music” with frontman Seth Putnam screaming extremely offensive lyrics. Their music is music to some, a headache to most. After a decade without any original releases, A.C. finally came through …
The Academy Is: Almost Here
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not usually a fan of upbeat, post-punk, bop-your-head-and-tap-your-toes Rock, but I unshamedly admit that when I put on ‘Almost Here’, not only does my head bop, but my whole body follows along in a strange, convulsing, toe-tapping mess.
The Academy Is’ first album, ‘Almost Here’, …

Album : Bonfire - Branded (2011)
I have always had a bit of a love/hate relationship with German hard rock band Bonfire. Some of their albums i really, really like and others don’t do much for me at all. For me, their whole output between about 1995 and 2007 was all pretty ordinary and most …
