Since the release of the single, "Dream City," I've been waiting for the remainder of the freshman LP from Philadelphia's Free Energy. The album is saturated with seventies power-pop, providing a fun-filled listen that doesn't take many chances but s...

If you have been living under a rock for the last two years, it'll come as a shock to you that everyone's saying "˜Oh no, we're entirely screwed and the world is going to hell in a handcart'. Two words: Economic recession. Since the credit crunch hit...

I remember the first time I heard A-Punk: The song was so catchy, I just played it over and over. It was amazing live, the music video garnered tons and tons of attention on YouTube and even a little bit of play on MTV (bleh?). It became their bigges...

Sure, this album was first released in 1980, but it was just re-issued by Bar/None Records, so I don't feel I'm stepping out of line by bringing it to your attention. When The Feelies came to manhattan in the late 70s (from somewhere in the suburbs o...

I won't lie: I wasn't a big fan of this album. but i'm still compelled to throw this up because i think people should know about this band. it may not translate on CD, but these guys have one of the most raw, powerful live sets I've seen in a long ti...

Another varied LP! Just what I like to keep my attention. From track to track, you could easily be fooled into believing there was more than one band at work. While the lyrics are often melancholic, the music plays quite the opposite way, often picki...

I love albums that I can't figure out on the first try. This one does just that.
