Review: The Complaints – Talk to Me
After the Complaints released the driving CD singles, “Trade Up,” and the Chris Lord-Alge produced “South Side Suicide,” they bring the angst down a few notches for this release, Talk to Me, an exquisitely packaged and beautifully crafted collection of eight compositions along with a reworking of the first track, “The View.” And it is a perfect way to...

Comic Review: Morgan’s Organs

Paul LaPointe's ambitious and creative project, Universe No. 122 - unleashed within the Beyond Mars album - is pure minamilist quasi-psychedelia engaging in...
Review: Thee Fightin’ Fish 4 Song E.P.
With menacing opening guitar throbs on "The Creeper" (not the famous punk song by Boston's Unnatural Axe, another creeper!) Thee Fightin' Fish enter the ring with gloves off. If you like early New York Dolls barreling all-out assault which begins with lyrical admonitions while adding smart, tight musical attitudes at the start, middle and finish of each blitzing tune,...

I’m digging the G12T-75. Now, there is a bit of commentary out there about how the mids are scooped....
