Grim Dylan is an all girl punk trio from the Midlands region of the UK. Consisting of Vicky tearing up the guitar, Ro keeping the pace with her powerful drum rhythms, and Suki providing hypnotizing vocals and bass riffs. Although the band has been together a little over …

Songs with a slower pace than most rock songs are ones that I typically enjoy, usually because these songs tend to be more creative on average. When a song moves slowly, it almost forces the songwriters to work a little harder at making the song interesting, as they do …

Cotton Eye Joe was a popular dance track in the 1990’s by the band called The Rednex, which as their name suggests, they take upon the gimmick of that of a redneck. Country music, hillbilly blues and some classic techno dance beats! What more can a music fan ask …

I just recently went to an All American Rejects concert and I have to say, it was a ton of fun. I’m a guy in my early twenties, and despite the fact that most other people at the concert were screaming high school girls, I had a ton …

Watching The Planets is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Embryonic. The track opens up with a fairly confusing tone comprised of an odd mix of instrumentation including keyboards, synthesizers, and drums. Overall, these instruments come together to create a sound which seems as …

I had the utmost pleasure of being able to see Black Label Society LIVE in concert supporting Ozzy Osbourne on July 6th 2007 at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham England. They were simply amazing combining powerful heavy metal riffs with amazing and unique vocalization for every song, each …

You’ve Passed is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and is the second track on their debut album, On Avery Island. Opening up with a simple percussive rhythm, a guitar soon joins in the mix and creates a fairly brooding atmosphere for the song which is appropriate to the …

Stockholm Syndrome is a song by Muse which appears on their album Absolution. The song starts off with an extremely heavy guitar riff which is quite uncharacteristic of Muse just because of how metal sounding and aggressive it is. To be honest, I’m surprised that I heard this from …

I feel very lucky to have this guitar amplifier. I get this amp in the former used musical instrument shop, good for me this amplifier is still in excellent condition.

I can certainly remember the time when everyone was angry with Rihanna and him …

A great power Ballad by Velvet Revolver is the song Fall To Pieces, off their debut album Contraband. I really like this song because it has a really heavy feel to with a soft side. The softer slower guitar parts are through the main verses with some fingerpicking chorus …

Chica Me Tipo is a song by Sublime and the thirteenth song on their first release, 40 Oz. To Freedom. Opening up with a simple guitar riff, I must admit that I actually find the introduction of this track to be one of the more interesting moments on the …

I met a friend on myspace and he asked me to listen to a couple of songs that he wrote and recorded with his band. My first though was on man because most garage style bands are no good, but I would have never hurt my friends feelings, so …

U2 for about five years break from the recording studio, now they appear more energetic and look even younger. After How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004), now Bono and his friends kicked back the music industry with their flagship hits No Line On The Horizon from the album …

The Fallen Angel is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Brave New World. The best way that I can describe the instrumental opening of this track is that it has a very driving sound to it both from the three guitarists, Harris’ galloping rhythm, and …

H.I.M (His Infernal Majesty)
This band is one that has been around for a while, and has a good number of albums under their belt. HIM stands for His Infernal Majesty. Sound kind of dark? Well they are, in a way. Their lyrics are, essnetially, love lyrics …

Most of my friends own a copy of this by now. I don’t know, it just seems perfect for any occassion as a present. It’s also the best starting point to listen to The Cranberries, since no album sums up their career more, than this one has. Most best-of …

Once again, Muse have dropped their seventh studio album in true Muse style. Beginning with an album cover that re-visits their earlier stylistic approach (similar to albums like ‘Black Holes And Revelations’ and ‘Absolution) through to their musical style that take the listener on a historical journey. Not only …

The new album by kiss Sonic Boom is an excellent album that shows that kiss is still rocking today and even still making good music with fairly recent drummer Eric Singer and Guitarist Tommy Thayer. The song Modern Day Delilah is the first track off the album and it …

The Killers are still new to the music industry. The band has been extremely popular since their first album “Hot Fuss” and their guest appearance on the popular TV show “The O.C.”. The band has recently realesed their newest album “Sam’s Town”. I was so excitied to hear about …

This Good Friday was my second time seeing all three of these bands, so I know what I’m talking about when I say that this concert was not just “business as usual” for these artists.
The concert began with a bang when Sevendust came onto the stage. Their high-energy …

Although I’m not usually a film music buff, I decided to buy the CD of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” soundtrack for the Bat for Lashes and Florence and the Machine songs. Still, while I was expecting to limit my listening to these two tracks, possibly finding a third or …

After the very successful album War, released in 1983, U2 have managed to release another great record so quickly afterwards. I think that this album, The Unforgettable Fire was an album which escalated their skill and level as musicians. I think that this 1984 album demonstrated how much and …

Overview - Meddle, Pink Floyd’s fifth effort, is a record that I’d have to say is pretty much average at best. The record starts very strong and ends very strong, but the work in between is honestly just mediocre in my opinion. It isn’t that the songs are bad, …

Jon Bon Jovi is not everyones cup of tea, but I think he has released some absolute classics and this was one that lived with me for a long time and still probably does.
In Always, I have no idea if he is singing about an actual experience of his …

“Thunder” by Boys Like Girls had been a hit maker for a couple of months already. Though I didn’t like the beat so much, it appealed to me through its lyrics and the choice of words they made. My sister was also into this song. However, playing it over …

“Bleed” is the third track off of Meshuggah’s 2008 album Obzen. Technically I believe it is a single off the album but I’m not quite sure. I do know that the song kicks major butt and that they do in fact have a music video for it. So going …

It’s hard to believe sometimes just how many things you miss while busy doing real life stuff, and for me discovering music that i didn’t get to the first time around for one reason or another is something i really love to do.
Lately, i heard for the first …

All by myself is another good song by Celine Dion. This song is about a person who never cares about love and who used to think that love is for fun but realize that it is sad to be alone.I always hear this song too many Music Bars. This …

White horse by Taylor Swift is a song that makes a lot of sense to me because it describes a lot of relationships now days. It makes even more sense to me because I know what it is like to live in a small town and fall in love …

Britney’s comeback is truly what ‘Circus’ is all about. The song tells about her being a showbiz entertainer. She knows her place. She knows what she wants on stage and off cam. Well, I hope she’s better be good now after a lot of hard beats the people had …

I saw this music video after the CMT Music Awards. I didn’t think I was going to like it but since it won an award, I figured I would listen to it and see if it really deserved it. I had wanted Carrie Underwood to win for “Cowboy Casanova”. …

I so love this song very much with my entire life. The first time I heard this one was 2007. I admit I am not a Miley Cyrus fan but I watched her television series before but not daily. That was in Disney Channel. This is the theme song …

Recently I came across a song on the radio that I have not been able to get out of my head. Usually, it is not my sort of genre of music type, and I go for more of the classic rock or modern rock sort of songs, but this …

When I first heard about the American Hero Concert (held this past Saturday), I was interested in attending it. Both because it was at Swan Park, just down the street from me and because I grew up an Army brat and understand the importance in showing both support for …

I remember how dissatisfied with this album I was after I bought it. It was a rather critical point then. I had bought the KMFDM album called Attak, released in 2002, and I liked it a lot. And then I saw this CD in the shop. And I thought: …
