Gorillaz – G-Sides
Artist: Gorillaz Title: G-Sides Label: Virgin Rating: 5/10 Gorillaz released the successful self-titled album not long ago. In case you were living in a hole and didn’t know that Blur’s front man Damon Albarn fronted the group with Dan The Automator running the boards, than you know now. This f*&king rocks: “19-2000” – is a…

Reverend Horton Heat – Lucky 7
Artist: Reverend Horton Heat Title: Lucky 7 Label: Artemis Rating: 7.5/10 There is no one doing rockabilly today like the Reverend Horton Heat. He has been killing us with melody whether it’s punk, pop, or whatever. He is relentless and his music shows that. “Like A Rocket” is rockabilly at its best. It proves that…

Reverend Horton Heat – Interview
On the line with the Rev, well Jim Heath lead singer from the rockabilly group Reverend Horton Heat. What are you up to today? Working for Artemis today. (Laughs) Man, they had me sign like two hundred and fifty cd’s. Is it cool to know that somebody somewhere will get one of those cd’s and…

Dreamstreet – Interview
On tour with Frankie from Dreamstreet! How’s the tour? The tour is great. We are actually on a tour bus right now and I am doing some homework. You gotta keep those grades up. Yes. I was checking out your website. What’s up with the new magazine coming out? It’s our fourth edition, but we…

Ali
I’m the first to swing/Home run with that ‘Gimme What You Got’ thing. “Batter Up” As the unofficial leader of the platinum-plus selling unit St. Lunatics (which includes the 9x platinum solo rapper Nelly), ALI is somewhat of a soothsayer. In the mid-90’s the St. Louis native conceived the group, pulled the group together and…

George Harrison – All Things Must Pass
Artist: George Harrison Title: All Things Must Pass Label: EMI Rating: 9/10 George Harrison was more than his ‘quiet Beatle’ moniker could attempt to sell. George Harrison wasn’t just a guitar player for the greatest band ever. He was a grand artist in his own right. All things Must Pass was his most magnificent solo…

Injected – Burn It Black
Artist: Injected Title: Burn It Black Label: Island Rating: 6.5/10 Injected has one good thing going for them, they brought in the songsmith Butch Walker of the Marvelous 3 to produce. However aside from the heavier riffs of “Faithless” you can tell it’s from the school of M3. “Burn It Black” is back to basic…

Course of Nature – Superkala
Artist: Course of Nature Title: Superkala Label: Atlantic Rating: 4/10 Course of Nature comes to us from Alabama, home of southern fried rock ‘n’ roll. The question is whether Superkala can rattle the bones from their rock ancestors and stir up some good vibrations themselves or just waste our time. Tracks like “Wall Of Shame”…

34 Satellite – Stop
Artist: 34 Satellite Title: Stop Label: Hideway Records Rating: 7/10 “Elijah St. Marie” is blustering rock that asks simply “can you hear me?” and the answer is easily, yes! “Caroline” is another diamond. There are a few tracks that can keep your interest even when those in between fail to satisfy. I’m glad I stuck…

Plus One – Obvious
Artist: Plus One Title: Obvious Label: Atlantic Rating: 6/10 Plus One had limited success with the track “The Promise” on their first record. Now they are back with Obvious. What is obvious? You tell me. Not too shabby: “Use Me”- So NSYNC which seems to be good for a pop group. “Calling Down An Angel”…
