A decent first attempt
April 15, 2010

Zao - Where Blood and Fire Bring Rest (VINYL)
Zao's 1998 classic album sounds better than ever--a refreshing change from the overly-heavy or emo-infused metalcore bands of today.
Stellar Kart - Everything is Different Now
Wow, Brandon actually writes a review and it's a surprising choice.....
War of Ages - Eternal
War of Ages Best Yet
Inlow - s/t EP
Good post-hardcore
Thera - If This Is The End...
This CD pulled me away from the new Sent By Ravens... and that's no small feat. If you like rock, you'll love this.

Apartment 5 - Apartment 5
Promising early material from a band you should keep an eye (or two, or three or four) on.

Further Seems Forever - How to Start a Fire (VINYL)
Originally released on CD by Tooth & Nail Records in 2003, this album was a surprising but good first choice for Broken Circles to begin reissuing what we consider the classics. Listening on vinyl really brings out those definitive FSF guitar tones.
Letter to the Exiles - The Shadow Line
Good East Coast Metalcore
April 6, 2010
Solemn Vow - The American Dream
The American dream... all wrapped up in southern metalcore.
I Anthem - The Things Our Eyes Can't See
At last an anthem for the rest of us...
whatistruth - No Caps EP
Emotive hardcore that goes a long way in answering the question that their name poses.
Willet - Teeth Of A Lion, Fangs Of A Lioness
New music from a band on a mission... literally.

Concert Review: Manchester Orchestra, The Features
Manchester Orchestra tore up the stage with non-stop rock and roll. Arguably the best tour I've caught so far in 2010.

Kristin Nicholls Band - Kristin Nicholls Band EP
Hamilton might be Steeltown Canada, but it's also the home of a very good soft rock band

The Classic Crime - Vagabonds
The pivotal third album from The Classic Crime comes out on Tuesday. Verdict? You should pick it up if you haven't already. You still have time to pre-order it and all profit has gone to the Haiti relief fund.

pmtoday - In Medias Res
Great progressive rock
March 29, 2010
Solia Tera - Diamonds, Dirt, Iron Pyrite, And A Pearl Of Great Prize
Solia Tera do not fall victim to the sophomore slump.
Solia Tera - A Flammarion Woodcut
Throw jazz, surf rock, a piano, a couple of trumpets, a saxophone, Aaron Weiss' brain, a pineapple and/or a coconut into a blender and "puree" for 18 minutes. Let sit for 31 seconds, then serve to friends.

March 26, 2010
Manafest - The Chase
Great fusion of rock and hip-hop

You see below that A Hope for Home will be streaming their third album, Realis, tonight. For now here's a review for the soon-to-be fantastic release by an underrated band in their genre.
The Red Letters Project - The Gospel Of Matthew
The Red Letters Project is an excellent ministry that every music fan should enjoy regardless of taste in music.

Sanctus Real - Pieces of a Real Heart
Sanctus Real released their fifth full album just over a week ago. Depending on what you are looking for in the band depends on how you'll receive the album.

Mississippi Metalcore
