Mary And The Black Lamb - "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" [EP]
A common trend from the 90s was for artists to release acoustic albums under the name Unplugged. Some acts that created acoustic releases of their work were Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, Nirvana and Neil Young, among many others. Mary And The Black Lamb has joined these artists by recording their own unplugged EP Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.

Ted Nugent - "Motor City Mayhem" [LIVE]
The Motor City Madman is the embodiment of good old blues driven Rock & Roll. I have had the opportunity to see Uncle Ted live on many occasions over the years and honestly, there is nothing quite like it. The energy, unbelievable playing and the incredible sarcastic wit of Nugent creates a night you won’t soon forget.

Creature With The Atom Brain hail from Belgium and the fuzzy rock four piece released their second album Transylvania last month through The End Records and after just one listen it’s clear their sound has not differed hugely since their 2008 debut, I Am The Golden Gate Bridge.

3 Pill Morning - "The Side Effects of Chronic Ambition"
The album's very first track “Mindright” snatches your attention and proceeds to hold it for the next short, but sweet thirty-seven minutes. I found myself captivated and absorbed enough that I wanted to hear more. When I listen to 3 Pill Morning's music I can hear elements of many modern rock bands but the group has funneled all…

Cypress Hill - "Rise Up" [Song Review]
Who’s one of the greatest hip hop groups ever? Cypress Hill really requires no introduction since everyone and their grandmother recognizes the phrase “insane in the membrane.” It’s hard to believe but Cypress Hill has been together now for over twenty years and has sold nearly twenty million records in that time.

Blessthefall - "Witness"
It took a line up change and the signing of final record contract papers with Fearless Records for this album to come see the light of day. And it’s probably for the best. The talent this band has is undeniable; they gel so well and with that they crafted a fine-tuned album. Charged with double-bass pumps, aggressive vocals paired with…

Dommin - "Love Is Gone"
Back in 2009, when Roadrunner Records released the news of a new band called Dommin, I was excited and immediately found myself seeking them out. When I finally found them, I took a quick glance at their promo picture and my first impression was that this was going to be a lame gothic band. Was I wrong! Immediately after…

“Rock N' Roll ain't dead. It’s Alive!” Indeed it is. It’s Alive are a four-piece rock band from Lake Mary, Florida and their latest single "Pieces" should do little more than completely blow you away. The song was released digitally at the beginning of this month and will no doubt be a resounding success.

Kalki Avatara - "Mantra for the End of Times"
Mantra for the End of Times, the newest disc from Kalki Avatara is an amalgamation of classical piano and guitar, choral arrangements and guttural growing of the highest order. I found this disc extremely difficult to listen to for a number of different reasons. First of all, I found Hell-IO Kabbalus’ vocals so irritating and…
