I've returned from my brief 'moving' absence with a review of Day of Fire's third album. This is a must-own for any fan of hard rock, especially the last song. In coming weeks I'll also be reviewing Sanctus Real's latest along with A Hope for Home and The Classic Crime. Stay tuned!

A Wayward Heart - A Wayward Heart EP
A Wayward Heart bring back that thing a lot of us used to call “emo” before the word came to mean something else. I’m talking Spill Canvas, Early November, and The Evan Anthem, especially their acoustic songs. A fine start for a young band.
Divide the Sea - Man
Some good southern metal with a banjo hear and there

Lybecker - Until We Feel Alive
Great things can come from the most unusual sources... even a fellow reviewer.
Riley - For The Love EP
Looking for a band that's not afraid to pioneer new ground? Then these guys may just be what you're looking for.

Darkroom - Stay Here With Me (For Better or for Worse)
Darkroom is a true indie band, releasing their sophomore album on their own once again. Stay Here With Me... is an album worth owning if you enjoy your music laced with beautiful sounds from trumpets, strings, pianos, and a xylophone behind a powerful vocal effort. Need something to brighten your day? Darkoom is the answer.

Pomegranates - Everybody, Come Outside!
Fun shoegaze/surf pop from Ohio.
February 9, 2010
Destroy Nate Allen - Perfect Recipe for a Smile
Destroy Nate Allen show a ton of potential on this album, but it is only fully realized on “Loving You” and “White Flag.” Yet when they hit it on these tracks, their acoustic sound rocks as hard as any punk band.
