The band was founded in Los Angeles since 1994, the band did not offer something different, after five albums, Wayne Static, Tony Campos, Koichi Fukuda, and Nick Oshiro, still presents almost the same thing, just different doses.

When many people my age hear the name Engelbert Humperdinck, they usually dont know that it is the name of a popular singer, or they might even confuse it with the name of a long dead German composer. However, I have been fascinated with his music for as long …

“Tonight She Comes” was a previously unreleased song by the band The Cars. The song appeared on their 1985 Greatest Hits album. Just the thought that they knew the song would be a hit, and the nerve to put it on a “Greatest Hits” album is just amazing. How …

I’m reviewing the band Disturbed because they are by far my favorite band, and have been for years. Unlike other metal bands, their content is extremely original and they’re not just in it for the money and fame. I hate it when artists simply try and make their music …

Primer 55 isn’t a very well-known band, although I believe they had a song on a popular soundtrack, perhaps the Resident Evil movie? But this CD is quite a solid effort, maybe even great if you’re into the kind of hardcore tinged with funk sound they bring. …

Ok now allot of guys are probably thinking “EW.” but seriously if you look at it from a musical standpoint the album isn’t THAT bad. I know that girls overrate him and guys underestimate him but if we all look at it from the same point, you will see …

TP-3 Reloaded

AWESOME!!!! My girlfriend bought this cd for me because she liked it and I was a little hesitant, but I decided to give it a try. Now I am addicted! She starts out with a pretty generic fun pop song breakout that isn’t your favorite on the cd, but …

She’s like the wind by Lumidee featuring Tony Sunshine is a song I like even better than the original which is done by Patrick Swazy. This song is a beautiful redo and I love listening to it over and over again. The words and the melody are like running …

I really enjoyed listening to the new single from Tom Petty. I remember seeing Tom Petty steal the show from Bob Dylan when they toured together back in the 80s. Petty and his band made me sit up and take notice, while Bob Dylan, clad in red pedal pushers …

As a long time fan of the Backstreet Boys, I was eagerly awaiting the release of their album —˜This is Us.’ I’ve loved almost all of their past albums, especially since Kevin Richardson departed the group, so I expected that I’d love this one as well! However, I was …

My Chemical Romance, The Black Parade. An album that is part of many people’s adolescence, at least when it comes to my generation (I’m 26). They were pretty popular between goths/emos/punks at the time, which after all isn’t all that long ago, and “The Black Parade” was the album …

I recently rediscovered the grunge and hard rock band called “Pearl Jam”. They were one of my favourite bands in the early 2000s when I first started discovering my love for hard rock music and bands such as Creed, and Lifehouse. These days, I’ve begun to do some re-exploring …
