Airbourne Kicks Ass
Saturday, March 1st, 2008For those of you who have the slightest taste for great hard rock, you need to check out the band Airbourne ASAP. They kinda look like AC/DC, they kinda sound like AC/DC, and they effing rock like AC/DC (maybe even more as of late).
From the first song through the last they don’t let their foot of the pedal. Hard driving, king size cockrock with a capital C. I am addicted.
Download the whole thing because every song kicks ass. Trust me.
For those of you in Twin Cities area - or in the upper midwest - these guys will be at The Rock Nightclub in Maplewood, MN on the April 12th with another great new band EndeverafteR (check out podcast 015). That should be a great show and I am not going to miss it. In fact I am going to buy six tickets right now.
If anyone wants to hook up at the show or ride up with me let me know. I’d like to get nice group together. And with tickets only being $8 measly dollars there should be no excuses. Hell maybe we can get a few rooms and really party.
Lets try to hook up a caravan and ride up there together.

Music Review: The Prog Metal Sounds of the Daughters of Fission
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
I am a big fan of all kinds of music but, back in the day, it was metal that caught my attention first. After weeks of listening to a ton of great music from other genre’s, I have to admit, I was a little excited when I received a review request from a metal band.
The Daughters of Fission bill their sound as a mix of rock, alternative and progressive but I will go ahead and throw them into the metal bin as well.
You can hear elements of Tool and Dream Theater (Stereomud even came to mind on a couple occasions). I would not put the Daughters of Fission in the same category instrumentally or compare them talent wise just yet, but they have a good start on developing a sound that uniquely their own.
Here are a few songs I was really into. Don’t let the opening piano on “behind the primates” fool you this song this song rocks hard. Probably my favorite in the album. The song “torso of…” has sort of an 80’s new wave thing going on and is probably the best tune vocally. The final cut “ape’ is just over a minute long but it packs a serious punch. Pure old school thrash and I love love it.
Every songs is solid and worth a listen if you appreciate rock or metal. The sound quality of the music is excellent (props to the production team). Only suggestion would be to involve some more lead guitar by adding some solos and fills. There were many songs where some solid lead guitar could have brought the songs to a higher level but it was nonexistent.
But don’t take my word for it, go see for yourself. You can check them out on MySpace or if you’d like you can download the DRM free high quality version of “Abandonatomy” free of charge on eMusic now (click on buy above).
Serve with headphones while surfing the web or playing video games. Also would be good mixed in a play list and turned up when having a few beers with your metal buddies.
Can You Name The Hair Band?
Tuesday, May 8th, 2007A few weeks back a friend of mine sent a “name the hair band” quiz to me. I tried it out and learned something interesting about myself. I figured I would pass the quiz on to you but before I do… you wanna hear something funny?
I had zero wrong.
Now I wasn’t completely surprised by my wizardry since my head was constantly buried in Hit Parader and Circus magazines back then but it does raise a question. What is wasted youth? I’m sure there are better ways to waste ones youth but this certainly ranks up there.
Anyway, good or not, this stuff is fun. I will just throw it in the guilty pleasures bin along with a the Loverboy and Kenny Rogers cd’s in the collection.
Before you laugh to hard you might want to give it a try.
