Liquid Casing

REVIEW: Liquid Casing – ‘A Separate|Divide’

Artist: Liquid Casing
Album: A Separate|Divide
Genre: Rock, Progressive, Experimental
For fans of: Russian Circles, Fugazi, Godspeed You! Black Emperor

Liquid Casing‘s newest effort opens with “A Path of Footprints Forged in the Midnight Sun,” a raw and gritty exploration through different variations of experimental and progressive rock that sets up a nice foundation for what’s to come on A Separate|Divide. The opener is immediately followed by “Alambrista” which starts out in a fury of rhythmic guitar and drums with cymbals crashing violently, and adds even more elements than were found on the album’s first offering. The horns …

Jonny Lang Announces First Studio Album In 7 Years

Rock and blues connoisseurs know the name Jonny Lang, but unless you’re a diehard genre fan there is a decent chance many of our young readers have no idea about this masterful young musician. You see, Lang hasn’t released an album since 2006, which makes introducing him to the internet-addicted younger generations a little difficult. In that time, however, Lang has continued to tour and play sell out gigs around the world. We knew he would one day return, and finally that day has arrived.

According to a press release posted through Facebook this morning, Jonny Lang will release a …

Catholic Girls

SINGLE REVIEW: The Dangerous Summer – “Catholic Girls”

Artist: The Dangerous Summer
Single: “Catholic Girls”
Album: Golden Record
Label: Hopeless

The Dangerous Summer released a fantastic new track yesterday in “Catholic Girls.” It contains the right amount of influence and ingenuity to get all fans, old and new, overly excited for their new album, Golden Record, which is due out August 6 via Hopeless Records.

If there is any potential doubt (after losing two members in the last two years) it can be completely wiped away with “Catholic Girls.” It appears TDS is picking up right where they left off with 2011′s War Paint. The track …

REVIEW: I Can See Mountains – Life on a Houseboat

Band: I Can See Mountains
Album: Life on a Houseboat
Label: Panic Records
Genre: Indie/Pop-Punk

What is there in Buffalo, New York? The Buffalo Sabres? My mom would argue “a whole lot of sadness and grey skies.” She’s probably right because she is indeed right about most things, but if you were to ask me I’d probably mention the budding punk and indie scene. Buffalo produced one of my favorite records of 2012, Pentimento’s self-titled debut, and in 2013 the birth place of my wonderful father gave me another release to get excited about: I Can See Mountains’ Life on

Nightmares For A Week

REVIEW: Nightmares For A Week – Civilian War

Artist: Nightmares For A Week
Album: Civilian War
Genre: Rock / Punk
Label: Broken English / Suburban Home

Sure New York’s Nightmares For A Week took a good 3+ years before releasing their sophomore LP, Civilian War, but the time and effort are pridefully shown throughout the album’s raucous ten tracks. For those not acquainted with NFAW, there are two things you need to know immediately: One, they are not as heavy as their misleading name depicts them to be, and two, the group did indeed name themselves after a Jawbreaker lyric, which is pretty punk if you ask …

STREAM: Parachute – “Can’t Help”

Today on Buzznet, Parachute is streaming their latest single, “Can’t Help.”

Loud, confident, and irreparably infectious, Parachute does as we’ve grown accustom to them doing, blowing pop-rock competitors out of the water. With the assistance of Ryan Tedder of One Republic as a co-writer, these Virginia boys are continuing to impress.
