Year: 2005
Genre: Alternative Rock, Indie Rock

The first release from Prince George's own Big Old Eyes, essentially known as the greatest band to come out of PG. It's only two songs, but it certainly showcases the talent that the band was only just beginning to discover.

The Downfall of Gaia hail from Hanburg + Hannover Germany and all i can say is: why are they not well known?! Just imagine a bunch of Crust Punks making emo. And you've got it. Not much else to say. but if someone happens to live in this area of Germany. Hook these guys up with a drummer again. Make sure to look them up on myspace as well

Nesin - Vanity





Yea. Another one. This one is by a little known Japanese noise artist. It was handed out for free and is his only non live release. Using nothing but sound samples from porn of only the most depraved kind and effects you are essentially "Ear Raped"

Aushvitz/Spinal Cord - 2002-2006


Better known for his work in the band Galneryus and Animetal Syu has another project up his sleeve. Started in 2002 under the name Aushvitz it was a slow going project from the start. But the music doesn't lack in anyway. An eclectic mix of Extreme Metal, Shred, and Hard Rock. The downside? Every release is a single with no album even on the horizon. Recently the name was changed to Spinal Cord after a long hiatus with a promise to kick it into high gear. With another single late last year and no info from the bands side again it's not looking good. But for now enjoy whats out

T.Rex - The Slider



Artist: T.Rex
Album: The Slider
Year: 1972
Genre: Glam Rock, Proto-Punk, Classic Rock
Country: UK

Simply put, it's summer, and what a disservice I would be doing if I didn't share an excellent album to kick start the hot months.  Not much else gives me the feeling of freedom and possibility with as much zest as a good ol' T.Rex album.  T.Rex is one of those bands that should have been/should be more popular than they are.  Marc Bolan is simply fabulous, and definitely a must on everyone's summer evening play list.

The Coral

artist: the coral
album: the coral
year:2002
genre: folk, neo-psychedelic(ish)

mixing in some olde tyme folk and neo psychedelic sounds the coral had an original hit in 2002 with their debut album. what's happened since then? well honestly nothing all that notable some four or five albums later. admitidedly after nightfreak and the sons of becker i didn't feel there was any reason to keep up to date with them. but that doesn't change what once was. genre splicing and sound blending, this album is fantastic. by all means though don't let me tell you what to think about their later albums. feel free to update me on their latest.

Fin de Siècle - Nine Barns

Band: Fin de Siècle
Album: Nine Barns
Genre: Neofolk/Ambient/Experimental
Country of Origin: France
Year: 2007

Track Listing:
  1. Introduction
  2. Fearless Femme
  3. Summertime
  4. Prison
  5. Daddy
  6. Interlude
  7. Lonely
  8. Nine Barns
  9. The Feast
  10. Stranger
  11. Night Hawks
  12. Summertime 2
  13. Ashes
  14. Epilogue
I can't find any samples anywhere, Fin de Siècle weren't exactly well known. Nine Barns was their last album and is really a quite beautiful, interesting and eerie Ambient album that sometimes boarders on Neofolk in a few songs. The ambience is mostly created through wonderfully creative violin, guitar and drum work, with sound clips and backing synth in many places added to it. The wonderful, intense and eerie atmosphere the violin work of Florence Cailleux can create is especially noticeable on tracks like "Fearless Femme" and "Prison". "Daddy" is an incredibly intriguing musical adaption of Sylvia Plath's poem by the same name, with a recording of Sylvia Plath herself reading the poem placed over Ambient music. If you're interested in something experimental, interesting and absorbing, give this a listen, but skip it if you don't plan on sitting down and opening yourself up to every second of the music.

Woman King

Artist: Iron & Wine
Album: Woman King EP
Year: 2005
Genre: Folk, Acoustic
Country: USA

This is what I consider to be one of the best things Iron & Wine has done.  For an EP, it's so solid, and it sounds like a mix between their old low-fi sound, and their current, over-produced smoothness that now encompasses their albums.  "Jezebel" is my favorite Iron & Wine song, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a listen, even if mellow isn't your thing.

Artist: The Germs
Genre: Punk
Album: GI

Another west coast punk classic.
