Decade, 2020's, Ohio Players, The Black Keys

The Black Keys – Ohio Players

Ohio Players, The Black Keys 12th album. I first heard them through their cover of Have Love, Will Travel and have been a big fan since Rubber Factory came out 20 years ago. I liked their earlier, raw bluesy sound better, but they haven’t had an album I haven’t liked at least a few track from. Before even listening I see that there are a … Continue reading The Black Keys – Ohio Players

The Black Crowes – Happiness Bastards

Happiness Bastards, The Black Crowes 10th album. This is a band that I only knew their two or three hits from the 90’s but came to really appreciate a few years ago. It’s been 15 years since their last album of original material, 14 since any album at all. Let’s see if they still have it. They come storming out of the gates with Bedside … Continue reading The Black Crowes – Happiness Bastards

The Dandy Warhols – Rockmaker

Rockmaker, The Dandy Warhols 12th album. It’s been 4 years since their last album, but really 5 because the Tafelmuzic album is really just experimental, and most tracks I wouldn’t even call songs. Reading an interview with lead singer/songwriter Courtney Taylor-Taylor they’re going for a heavier sound than normal. Let’s check it out. The album starts off with some crunchy sounding guitars, nice groove, but … Continue reading The Dandy Warhols – Rockmaker

Buckcherry – Hellbound

Hellbound, Buckcherry’s 9th album. Full disclosure I own the other 8 albums. I loved the first few, the last 3 albums or so have a couple good songs but are pretty forgettable. Curious to see how they sound now since Josh Todd is the only original member left and he’s now in his 50’s. Off do a pretty good start with 54321, sounds like classic … Continue reading Buckcherry – Hellbound

The Killers – Pressure Machine

I received a request to review Pressure Machine, the 7th studio album by The Killers. I haven’t heard the last few Killers albums so I’m looking forward to checking out their new album. I’ve found them to be very hit or miss in the past, some songs I love and some I can’t stand, so let’s see if this album follows that trend. Oh boy, … Continue reading The Killers – Pressure Machine

2020's, All Those City Lights, Tre Said

Tre Said – All Those City Lights

    I received a request to review All Those City Lights, the debut album from Tre Said, a power trio from Barcelona. They have a pretty unique sound, the best comparison I could think of is vocals are similar to Cold War Kids, but the music is a lot heavier, closer to Royal Blood. It’s a pretty consistent album throughout. Most of the songs … Continue reading Tre Said – All Those City Lights

Andre Tonelli – Mystic Electric

  I woke up to Mystic Electric in my in box. It’s the 4th album by Andre Tonelli.  I thought it was really cool that someone thought enough of my site to send me their album, but at the same time I was a little worried. What if it was just trash? I cautiously started the first track Mystic Electric and within 30 seconds knew … Continue reading Andre Tonelli – Mystic Electric
