The K.G.B. – The K.G.B.
Artist: The K.G.B. Title: The K.G.B. Label: Dreamworks Rating: 6.5/10 The KGB has a unique singer but not necessarily a unique sound. “Fortune And Fame” come off pretty soft, but are still enjoyable. And although I could really get into “Captain Max”, it’s the ska horns that weaken the effect. “I’m A Player” is perhaps…

Primer 55 – New Release
Artist: Primer 55 Title: New Release Label: Island Rating: 5/10 Primer 55 found something to write about on the road as they put together The New Release. The anger is high but you may not find Primer as bitter as in the past. “This Life” was inspired by a friend who was abused by her…

Lifer – Lifer
Artist: Lifer Title: Lifer Label: Universal Rating: 5/10 Can Lifer come out of their own fifteen seconds of fame? They entered Mtv’s Ultimate Cover Band Contest and soon found themselves winning the grand prize with a cover of Limp Bizkit’s “Nookie.” Now they have to step away from that cover and give us thirteen original…

K.D. Lang – Live By Request
Artist: K.D. Lang Title: Live By Request Label: Warner Bros. Rating: 5/10 Way back in December, K.D. Lang played on A&E’s Live By Request. From what I can gather, the rules are that people vote in on the tracks that the artist plays. What fans got were fourteen songs, assumingly the best of her best.…

Tyrese – Interview
What would you do if you saw Tyrese wandering through the mall? Life gets a little crazy when you’re a celebrity. I had Tyrese on the phone, but the fans had him surrounded. How’s it going? It’s crazy. (Tyrese starts talking to a fan, ‘What’s your name, sweetie?’) What are you doing at the mall?…

Lil’ Wayne – Interview
trading quips with lil wayne! What’ve you been up to? Not much, just chilling in New York. Been working? Yeah, just did some song for some movie. What movie? I don’t know the name, but it’s a revision of The Bad News Bears. The single is called “Hard Ball” with a couple other lil’ hot…

Leroy – Interview
How has life been treating you? Life is good. I have a record coming out that I’m really proud of. Things are rolling. It’s a good thing. So all the hard work is finally paying off? Yeah. It’s been a long road, but it’s good. I’m real happy today how things are going. How long…

The Beta Band – Hotshots II
Artist: The Beta Band Title: Hotshots II Label: Astralwerks Rating: 10/10 Well, it finally happened. The album The Beta Band have always promised us has arrived and, despite the almost crushing pressure they placed upon themselves after the so-called failure of their self-titled debut (an album of underrated genius which vocalist, etc. Stephen Mason called…

Trickside – Trickside
Artist: Trickside Title: Trickside Label: Wind-Up Rating: 6/10 Brothers Jeff and David Mendelsohn are Trickside. These two work at bringing us the most pop rock our ears can handle. Trickside does mix in some cute pop melodies for tracks like “Beautiful Thing” and “Under You”. The problem is that it’s too Third Eye Blind. I’m…
