Clutch – Interview
What happens when you have a band that was born out of fury and has since evolved into controlled madness?

Shea Seger – The May Street Project
Artist: Shea Seger Title: The May Street Project Label: RCA Rating: 7/10 Shea Seger’s influences are apparent as you get a taste of The May Street Project.

Geggy Tah – Into The Oh
Artist: Geggy Tah Title: Into The Oh Label: Virgin Rating: 5/10 Geggy Tah are signed to that fruity Talking Head David Bryne’s label, Luaka Bop. So that should at least give you some idea as to where this album is going. The title is fitting: Into The Oh. “Goodnight To The Machine” is odd to…

Radiohead – Amnesiac
Artist: Radiohead Title: Amnesiac Label: Capitol Rating: 6/10 Again we are here with quite a quandary. If you like it then you roll with the sheep, if you don’t then you run with a few wolves. I’d dare to bet that if any group other than Radiohead released Amnesiac, the critics would probably pan it…

Jason Falkner – The 4-Track Years
Artist: Jason Falkner Title: The 4-Track Years Label: Spin-Art Rating: 6/10 Who is a bigger Jason Falkner fan than me? I’ve been talking him up for years. When I heard he left Elektra, I wasn’t sure how to react. On one hand they lost a genius, but would he now have the freedom needed to…

Artist: D:Fuse Title: Progressive Mix Label: moonshine Rating: 8.5/10 Who is D:Fuse?
