RECORD REVIEW: We March – Creator/Destroyer – Non-Prophet, 2007
– by Pencil – Full length number three from Athen’s vanguard of punk/hardcore/garage/psyche, WE MARCH’s “Creator/Destroyerâ€, ranges from the speed and fury of 80’s H/C punk to scrappy garage stomp and murky psyched-out jams, but don’t think for one second that this is anything but the most scathing Punk record you’ve heard in a long…

RECORD REVIEW: Percolator – Man is Not a Bird, 2007
– by Brian Wiebe The relationships we have with music are as varied and complicated as the ones we have with people. Sometimes a song or album is love at first listen—swooning as I hit repeat for the fifth, sixth, seventh time—enraptured in immediacy. Other times, the relationship takes a little while to develop. Maybe…

RECORD REVIEW: Machine Go Boom – Music for Parents – Collectible Escalators, 2007

Music For Parents is their second album after 2004’s Thank You Captain Obvious, both were recorded by Paul Maccarrone at Cleveland’s Zombie Proof Studios. Machine Go Boom’s music is an audio sugar rush, with band-leader Mikey…

The Aquabear Rant #2: Your Band Is At Least that Lame, Too
by Dan Majesky I guess I’m supposed to tell everybody why local music is the new black. 3 years ago, I would have shot myself in the face for even thinking about defending that position. Now? Fuck it, I’m riding the wave of the future. The hey-day of the low-level music tour is over. Gas…

The Aquabear Rant #1: Burn Baby Burn
by Rick Dodgson, Foreign Legion Correspondent It’s been a long time coming music lovers, but the end is nigh so raise your glasses and rejoice over the passing of the music industry as we have known it. Sony BMG, Universal, Warner Music and all the other corporate music money-pigs have been condemned to die, guilty…

RECORD REVIEW: Southeast Engine – ” Wheel within a Wheel” – Misra, 2007
Adam Remnant, Southeast Engine’s principle penman and visionary, is a Dayton native living currently in that mythical berg of Athens, OH… a town often described as sleepy, dreamlike… you get the picture. Let me tell you about the Remnant’s house: piano, keyboard, drum here, drum there, harmonica, violin, organ… zounds of guitars. And that is…

RECORD REVIEW: Casual Future – “Footnotes in the City Lights”
On their debut album, Casual Future gets into character as musicians from the slacker set, slinging well-penned quips filled with cynicism and absurdity, while keeping pretty level heads. It’s a well-balanced act owing much to lead singer Scott Spice’s almost ho-hum delivery, dancing drunkenly over lyrics finely calculated and clever.
