Lennon – 5:30 Saturday Morning
Artist: Lennon Title: 5:30 Saturday Morning Label: Arista Rating: 5/10 Lennon hails from the Nashville area, but listening to her album you’d think she grew up in hell. Lennon looks like an innocent enough girl until you get a load of the title of “Property Of Goatfucker”. Sounds just like it reads. I don’t know…

Bitch and Animal – Eternally Hard
Artist: Bitch and Animal Title: Eternally Hard Label: Righteous Babe Rating: 6/10 Bitch And Animal are a New York City duo that fly in the face of mainstream feel-good boy/girl pop. The in-your-face “Best Cock On The Block” is nothing less than a sexual invitation that rolls into the slowly tortured “Traffic”. Some of the…

Arcanum
Game: Arcanum Platform: PC Studio: Sierra Rating: 8.5/10 Arcanum is one of those games where you not only get sucked into the game play, but also the story that’s offered. Look: This might be one of the weakest aspects of this game. The game doesn’t look up to par with all the great games on…

Slayer – God Hates Us All
Artist: Slayer Title: God Hates Us All Label: American Rating: 6/10 Some things just aren’t meant to change, which isn’t always a bad thing, as in the of Slayer’s 666th studio release (actually, it’s their 9th), God Hates Us All. We’ve come to expect little as far as change goes for these elder statesmen of…

Damian Marley – Halfway Tree
Artist: Damian Marley Title: Halfway Tree Label: Universal Rating: 7.5/10 How many kids did Bob Marley have? Damian Marley is here with a voice that is remarkably his own while still holding the ghostly cover of his father that peeks out from behind the Halfway Tree. Damian follows in his father’s footsteps with the track…

Beulah – The Coast is Never Clear
Artist: Beulah Title: The Coast is Never Clear Label: Velocette Rating: 7.5/10 The San Fran group Beulah scored big with When Your Heartstrings Break. Now two years later The Coast Is Never Clear, and neither is their future. Beulah writes songs for the love of the song. Each song embodies their extensive styles that when…

Lila McCann – Interview
Did you spend a lot of time working on the new album, Complete? Yeah, we were recording songs right up until the last minute. We already had the album mastered and were ready to ship it, but we decided to add another song. How choosy were you with the songs you picked for the album?…

Halfcocked – The Last Star
Artist: Halfcocked Title: The Last Star Label: Dreamworks Rating: 5/10 Halfcocked is the first signing to Megatronic Records run by Powerman 5000 frontman Spider One. So now that they have their roots planted in Boston, can they take those roots and build upon them further? “I Lied” breaks it off fierce, but not supersonically. “Drive…

Prophet Jones – Interview
K.D. What’s up? How you feeling? Pretty good. How are you? Great. Life is good. What are you up to? We’re in DC rehearsing for some shows we’ve got coming up. We’re getting the show tight. What’s the show like? It’s ridiculous. Weeeehooo. We’re still doing a little a cappella, some beat boxing, and some…

Toxicity is the group’s answer to the burning question that has enveloped this country as…
