Artist: The Vines Album: Winning Days Label: Capitol Records Reviewer: Chad Malone In the 50′s-70′s we had a UK explosion of bands being exported to the US; The Beatles, The Kinks, The Who, The Rolling Stones, so on and so forth. Oddly these bands proved to be some of the leaders, innovators, and milestones in [...]
Artist: Usher Album: Confessions Label: Arista Records Reviewer: Julie Wagoner I hate to relate two totally different artists of completely different genres but I do want to bring up my first thought when I completed listening to Confessions for the first time.

Throughout their last five records they’ve managed to achieve [...]
Artist: Slipknot Album: Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses Label: Roadrunner Records Reviewer: Robin Cordeiro “Forget everything you know. Slipknot is reborn in 2004.” Those words made a shiver go down my spine when I saw them plastered all over flyers at a show I was at in March. I couldn’t wait until the CD came [...]
Artist: Sister Hazel Album: Live LIVE Label: Sixthman Records Reviewer: Kim Worpek Sister Hazel, a Gainesville Florida quintet whose first single on a major label release – “All For You” plummeted them into stardom (with the help of an exhausting 300 shows a year), has now released their fifth major record label album, Live LIVE.

Artist: Sarah Kelly Album: Take Me Away Label: Gotee Records Reviewer: Bryanna Tago Breathtaking. Impressive. Extraordinary.
