This one man band, namely Guy chambers, from the UK is too much. The sound effects are eerie, the beat is hypnotic, and the overall feel is like being drug underground and left in a dark cement walled tunnel with the echoes still bouncing around in your head to prove [...]

After listening to this band, you might want to talk your pastor into booking them to play at your next church function. Okay, that might be a little too much for the old blue haired folks who sleep in the back rows. The reality is that Theocracy [...]

Maybe this is a sign. The second band from Florida I’m reviewing in a row. Actually, I had never heard of them before, but someone sent me an email and told me to check Megaphone out. I always take my talent scout’s requests seriously, and so I dropped on to [...]

BAND: MATADOR
TYPE OF MUSIC: Indie Alternative Rock
ATOMIC RATING: 5 Mushroom Clouds
I was having a really rough morning the other day, wading through a ton of audio crap and otherwise mediocre bands, when I stumbled upon the music of Matador. As usual, myspace was slow to respond and acted [...]
