Lisa Mychols - Sweet Sinsations |
|
|
 |
For an artist without a great many credits to her name, Lisa Mychols made an impressive splash on the Los Angeles pop underground of the 1990s, especially with her band the Masticators. Once the new millennium had dawned and that vibrant musical community had begun to emerge aboveground, Mychols had developed into one of its most accomplished songwriters, taking an obsession with the 1960s and 1970s AM dial and updating the sound for a new generation of pop/rock addicts. |

Andrea Perry - Two |
|
|
 |
Follow up to the excellent "Saturday Morning Sweet Shop". Fans of Sir Andy Partridge will find his influence hard to miss in many parts the choppy guitar sounds that dot the XTC catalog, as well as vocal phrasings are accurate. Not to take away one iota of Perry's unique talent, though. But suffice to say, fans of that band as well as the works of Kate Bush and Jane Siberry are passionately encouraged to check out both of her albums. |

The Waking Hours - The Good Way |
|
|
 |
Drenched in early Beatles harmony, the Waking Hours attempt to inject the present day's world of alt. pop with a cheerful shot of Sixties mod rock. And though they manage to combine the two effortlessly, there is no question their sound is firmly planted in the year 2001. Loud, guitar-driven songs about relationships and broken hearts burst with big choruses designed for the youth to swoon and sing along to –– all in under four minutes. |

Sousalves - ... to self |
|
|
 |
Within every punk rocker there is a drive for independence that is unique from all other genres of musicians. Eventually, the drive for independence can bring the most driven bands to destruction. Members of the bands become more inclined to pursue their goals in music individually from one another so that every pursuit is attempted. Paul Alves has made the difficult decision to forgot his ambitions of constructing a powerful band in order to achieve his musical aspirations independently, at least for the moment... |

Munkie - Chemical process |
|
|
 |
The follow up album to the well received debut "Progression" from MUNKIE is "Chemical Process". This is a darker, more intellectual affair whilst still retaining some of the characteristics of the debut. It takes a look at human emotions and life from depression (In my darkened room) and sadness (shatter the circles) to love (antidote to strychnine) and courage (cry no more tears). This album will take you on an ambient, "chilled" journey exploring different personalities. |

The Marlowes - Sugarbursts and Thunderbolts |
|
|
 |
4th album from Rhode Island's best, The Marlowes! A great example of a band maturing with every release and confidently stretching their influences and inter-mixing new sounds, new production techniques inside of 'what works'. This very popular indie guitar rock band in love with power pop and continuing to hone their craft in literate fashion merging croony 70's power pop with rootsy rock of the late 80's (Replacements, Bodeans) and plenty of jangle to boot. |

Semion - Get a grip |
|
|
 |
Semion are a five-piece band from London whose seven song disc, Get A Grip, falls nicely between the moody jangle of R.E.M. and the equally moody darker sound of Outrageous Cherry. Recorded over 2 weekends at a vintage all-valve studio in East London, this 7 track EP is a shot in the arm for the confused British rock scene – hopefully, Semion receives the attention its potential deserves. | |
