WANTS

ADEM
LOVE AND OTHER PLANETS
Wilco.

GWYN ASHTON

PROHIBITION
Pentatonic blues rock that just sounds like dumbed-down Stevie Ray Vaughan at times.

ATREYU
A DEATHGRIP ON YESTERDAY
Death metal music with Journey/Foreigner vocals.

DAEDALUS
DENIES THE DAYS DEMISE
Non-horrible electronic dancery sing songery. Samples, loops, tunes.

DISMANTLED
STANDARD ISSUE
Dark synth pop.

ERIC GADD
ERIC GADD
Soul, r&b, pop with the F word.

EVANS BLUE
THE MELODY AND THE ENERGETIC NATURE OF VOLUME
The sentence-length album title should be a clue that whiteboywhininess abounds. Encased in hard rock riffs though it may be.

GODSMACK
LIVIN' IN SIN
Radio friendly dark pop metal. Which they practically invented.

GOTAN PROJECT
LUNATICO
Smooth & jazzy grooves. Lyrics en Espanol. It's cool & I like the accordion. If that's an accordion.

HAMMER BROS
THE VITALITY
Screamy slow hardcore metal. With a Cro-mags cover at the end. So I don't think they're bullshitting ya here.

HOMEBREW
SMOKE & MIRRORS
Full on blues. Horn section, everything.

I AM ROBOT AND PROUD

THE ELECTRICITY IN YOUR HOUSE WANTS TO SING
Sweet-ass electronica that's more fun to listen to than write about!

LAS KETCHUP
UN BLODYMARY
Latin pop.

LIVE
SONGS FROM BLACK MOUNTAIN
Dude, I fucking hate this band. To me they've always symbolized everything that's wrong with alternative rock music. Bland fucking songs & the singer has the most annoying voice I've ever heard. This shit pile is no exception.

PSYCHOBITCH
ELECTROLICIOUS
Euro tech dance pop with metallic guitars & overtones. "Go Pussy Go". Next wave Lords of Acid?

SCARLET
THIS WAS ALWAYS MEANT TO FALL APART
The sentence-length album title should be a clue that whiteboywhininess abounds. Encased in progressive death metal riffs though it may be.

ERIC STECKEL BAND
HAVANA
Live blues band. The singer sounds about 15, maybe he is.

US BOMBS
WE ARE THE PROBLEM
Boppy pop punk with a wheezy old dude on the mic. Uptempo songs about weighty social topics. "Tonight" is the piano/acoustic ballad. Green Day had a piano/acoustic ballad, didn't they.
