REVIEW: Mewithoutyou – Ten Stories
May 21st, 2012 James Shotwell Artist: Mewithoutyou Album: Ten Stories Genre: Post-hardcore/experimental Label: Pine Street Earlier in the week, I spent some time bemoaning the fact that too many bands had nothing memorable or distinctive about their music, such that they melted all too easily into a growing mass of conformity.

REVIEW: Kiros – Lay Your Weapons Down
February 4th, 2012 James Shotwell Artist: Kiros Album: Lay Your Weapons Down Genre: Rock Label: ANGR/Century Media Records Lay Your Weapons Down is a wobbly, indecisive album, one that seems to second guess itself in several of its songs and shudders to a horribly unimaginative ending just as it seemed to be picking up a bit. It has obvious quality […]
