REVIEW: The Bronx – IV

Artist: The Bronx
Album: IV
Genre: Hardcore/Punk
Label: White Drugs

I’m tempted to write that it’s business as usual here for The Bronx, but doing so feels like a disservice. The simply-titled IV (as in, their fourth eponymous album) is a model of cast-iron efficiency, utilising all the toughness and relish and jarring qualities that permeate their work, and yet it’s something more elegant and refined than that description might imply. IV is easily good enough to count among the punk stalwarts of the new year but it has a light and, at times, tender touch that gives it …

MUSIC VIDEO: Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster – Open Your Eyes

Ferret Records’ Maylene And The Sons Of Disaster have released their music video for “Open Your Eyes” and it is a gruesome one. The video stars Machete/Sons Of Anarchy actor Danny Trejo and portrays him as a woman-abusing monster. Eventually the woman fight back and that is where I will leave you hanging in anticipation.

This song comes off of the group’s latest release, IV, via Ferret Records. Also, be sure to catch them on their US tour run with support from Lionize and the official tour poster can be viewed on UTG.

Lil Wayne Announces World Tour With Eminem

If Kanye and Jay-Z have the biggest hip hop tour of 2011, 2012 will surely be the year of Lil Wayne and Eminem.

Weezy took to his Facebook last night to announce a world tour with Eminem, just hours after it was announced that his latest album (Tha Carter IV) had gone double platinum. A post was made at roughly 5PM last night which read “Headed to Fiji,Australia,then S. Africa…on tour with Slim Shady…a blessing…thx to those who supported C4! 2x platinum! Love y’all.” No further details were given at this time.

Fans responded by the hundreds in …

REVIEW: Dub Trio – IV

Artist: Dub Trio
Album: IV
Genre: Dub Rock
Label: ROIR!

Reviewing albums that meld seemingly unrelated styles of music has led me on a rather interesting journey. You may remember my reviews for some of these albums, such as Lulu or The Browning, and how they weren’t really that positive. Brooklynites Dub Trio are about to change all that. Fresh off the release of their fourth record, aptly titled IV, Dub Trio deliver a fresh and groovy combination of dub (note: not dubstep) and rock. The album dropped October 25th on ROIR! and can be purchased …

REVIEW: Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster – IV

Artist: Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster
Album: IV
Genre: Southern Metal
Label: Ferret Records

As the owner of a very small independent record label, most people will think I’m crazy for saying this, but I think file-sharing, torrents, and the like, are absolutely brilliant. It is easily one of the best concepts to hit the music industry since the mix tape. The problem is, no one has really figured out how to harness it’s true capabilities quite yet. Radiohead sort of came close, as did Girl Talk, but they both still missed the mark a bit. See, about 80% …
