Juliet Simms-All Or Nothing

 

Well, well....Juliet Simms has returned, and what a return it is!  After coming in so close on the reality show, "The Voice", of which I believe she should have won; Juliet is bringing us a six track release, titled "All Or Nothing".  The lead singer for the alternative rock band, Automatic Loveletter, really shows her vocal range, style range, and a musical environment that is very solid on the EP.  Kicking off this release, is the song "All Or Nothing'.  This track is fast paced, pretty much, and has some basic lyrics, but also lyrics that sound angry, aggressive, and simply, "great"!  In the midst of the release, Juliet handed us a song by the name of "Evangeline".  Out of the six tracks, this would be my least favorite, based on the pace, and I feel her vocals could have been arranged a little angrier and better.  The song is still good, but if I had to pick, like I stated, it would be the one I would not download, if I were downloading the EP in "singles".  This release is just under six bucks at most digital retailers starting late January of 2015.  So, at that rate, I suggest you go ahead and grab this great piece of work.  Juliet Simms, in my opinion, has always been underrated and under the radar for some time now.  The best song on "All Or Nothing", is the song "Not Broken Yet'.  This is powerful, and the lyrics are so good, and delicate.  She is currently filming a video of sorts for another track off the release, that song is the fourth track on "All Or Nothing", that one being "End Of The World".  That song is very, very good....however, it just lyrically did not "catch me", as much as "Not Broken Yet".  The entire release, for me, stands out overall.  Other songs on the EP are "Mystified", and a great track called "Before It Rains".  I love this release, because of other reasons as well.  First of all, I cannot really be "favoring" Juliet, because I have personally hung out with her, and met her on a Warped Tour date, and whatnot.  However, even without "favoring" Juliet, I would truly enjoy this release.  I highly recommend this, if you are a fan of Automatic Loveletter, alternative rock, powerful female vocalists, or just excellent music, this hits hard, angry, aggressive, yet beautiful.  Definitely get yours right away!!

Prime Circle-Evidence

 

Prime Circle have returned with their latest, and best album to date, EVIDENCE.

I've had both the digital and hard copy of this release for a few months now, however, I have been hesitant to review it because I am such a huge fan of their music, and was not sure if I could present my honest opinion upon approach.  I believe I am able to though, after hearing this album enough now, and being able to compare it to other good, solid records out there today.  EVIDENCE is a strong, great effort.  The first single was, "Time Kills Us All", and it peaked at number one in South Africa's radio markets internationally.  The band has had sold out show, after sold out show.  I paid, to be quite honest, over $35 US for the hard copy, from a store in South Africa, but to me, this album is pretty much worth that, understanding the import and tax ordeals.  There are excellent tracks throughout this masterpiece, such has the current and second single, "Evidence", which is a straight rocker, and a thrill to jam to, anytime and place.  My favorite song on the record is a song called, "Answers".  Lyrically, I believe it is strong, and emotionally, Ross, the lead vocalist of the band, pours it out.  Speaking of pouring it out, he also does so in a little track called "Only Way Out".  That is an incredible track as well.  The band haunts us with their sounds on the tearful, "Room Of Ghosts", with lyrics like "....now I'm walking on air....finding my way...saying all I have to say right now....since you're hiding in a room of ghosts again.....you're not the same.....".  Love it!  If I had to pick a weakness, I'm not sure there is one, to be perfectly honest, but I would pick the song "King For A Day".  The main reason for choosing this track as a possible weakness, is simply that I feel lyrically, it is not the strongest, and emotionally it lets up somewhat, as a whole.....still though, I highly recommend this record, without any doubt.  Right now, the exclusive bonus track version is still out there, with the thirteenth track being a bonus track titled, "Evidence (acoustic version)".  The acoustic mix is pretty tight in case you ponder what that may sound like as well.  Definitely check out one of the links below, and the video.  If you want this album, nothing will stand in your way, it's a wonderful piece of work, trust me.  Contact me on facebook if you're having trouble getting ahold of this release, and honestly want to obtain it.  Thank you much!  Enjoy the music, rock on!!
