Pistol Day Parade-Burn

 
Pistol Day Parade have something to say, and if you give them the chance, you will experience the rock!  This band's incredible release, "Burn", showcases straight rock and some elements of grunge, if I say so myself.  My favorite track, is "Where I Lay".  The intro to this song sets it up to be a wonderful rocker, and that is what it indeed is!  They have more than just "Where I Lay" though.  The amped "Rockstar's Girlfriend", which clocks in as most of their tracks do, at about three and a half minutes, is another solid effort.  Of course, you then have to crank up another strong song in "Not Today".  Hailing from Detroit, this band is unique in the fact that they have a shot at a diverse fan base, and they prove to just that.  I know I typically review releases with a high rating, but to understand why, it's because I normally am presented with numerous albums to do, and if I at least "like" what I hear, then chances are that it will pan out.  Trust me, this release, "Burn" by Pistol Day Parade, will surely not disappoint the "more than" majority of you rockers out there!
 
Rating: 5/5

Seether-Seether 2002-2013

 
Well, hit after hit, Seether had to release something special for it's fans.  This greatest hits package includes smash hits like "Fine Again", "Broken (w/Amy Lee)", "Breakdown", "Country Song", "Tonight", and many more of your favorites.  It disappoints me that it lacks the track "Needles" though, if I must say so.  The set also has a second disc which has three new tracks, and some b-sides, demos, and unreleased tracks.  This is a keeper, no doubt.  The price is that which is about a price of a typical CD.  This is a terrific record to jam to, and ride along with for sure.  I suggest the way this s packaged and arranged that you pick this album up today, before you realize just what you're missing,
RATING:9.0/10 ( needs "Needles")

Leah Turner-Take The Keys (Single)

 
Ahh, smell that?  That's the smell of two things....sweet success and the scent of a fresh breath of brilliant musician doing her thing.  Leah, so talented and beautiful, has the country world by the strings with this first single, titled "Take the Keys".  It holds one heck of a catchy hook, and Leah has the vocals to power any song, as evident by the track itself.  Having just hit digital retailers in mid-August, Turner has impacted radio far before that.  Becoming a success wasn't an overnight ordeal, and Leah is well aware of this, and it is evident by her lyrical content.  "Let's hit the road and let the engine spark...." describes her sensual and ambitious attitude.  "Take the Keys" is a thrill ride of rocking country persona, and she definitely shows she belongs!  If you have to compare her to any current country artist, it could be hard, because Leah has her own distinctions.  Leah is stunning, vocally strong, lyrically talented, and has ambition to succeed for her fans and family like no other artist in recent memory.  I suppose the likes of a Kellie Pickler, a younger Shania Twain, or even Martina McBride would be suffice in comparison.  That is my opinion, but believe me, you will hear the point I am making, just grab a copy from a link below, and see and hear for yourselves!!  The chanting of "come on, come on, baby...." makes you want to do some dancing, party it up and crank this track top notch where it belong, up high!!  So, "take the keys", pop the song in the player, and turn it up as loud as you can, and do what Leah does best, sing your heart out!!
RATING: 10/10

At Night We Strike-Your Own Skin (Single)


 
Well, it's been some years now, but we finally have what we want; more Brandon Rike.
The former Dead Poetic vocalist, has returned with a brilliant, and amazing project, titled, At Night We Strike.  Started way back in January of 2011, Brandon has somehow, found the time to record those unmistakable vocals between the graphic design work, and family life, and given us a beautiful product.  He has done so with a former member of the Texas band, Oh, Sleeper by the name of Lucas Starr.  The bassist is working with Rike from Dallas, and along with another member, they are putting together a masterful, I'm sure, full-length album, that I would say will be released in 2013, but knowing how great this collaboration could sound together, it may be longer.  The bottom line is that it will, I can promise you, be worth the wait.  I had the fortunate opportunity to see Brandon and his former Dead Poetic band mates growing up at local churches, and clubs.  I consider myself lucky.  Such a talent, and I honestly was not aware of what I was witnessing.  The first single, from At Night We Strike, is titled, "Your Own Skin".  This song reminds me of a lot of Dead Poetic's tracks from their VICES album.  The most comparison I can give, which I use to mention often, is to the DP track, "Paralytic".  However, this ANWS song is much more definitive, more clear, more "darker", in ways that benefit "us", the fans and listeners.  Industrious, powerful, and honestly-better than I thought I stayed up until 1am to listen to this morning.  There are links below to listen to this song, and I highly suggest you do, and you just gotta, I mean Brandon Rike's voice sounds better than ever, and the engineering in this song is incredible, and the production is well-done.  A definite hit!!
RATING: 10/10

Latenite Automatic-You Are Electric ?

 
Founded and formed in 2010, Latenite Automatic has been on the scene electrifying the
music world ever since.  Currently located in Canada, Vancouver to be exact, the group have been exciting crowds with show after show, and tune after tune.  My favorite track from this diverse and rather great album, is the track titled, "Ghost Love".  The beats, the trance, and the lyrical breakdowns are enough to make you crave more and more from this band.  They deliver more too, boy do they ever.  Take the songs, "This Town", Dirty Secrets", and "Follower"-they all push the envelope of the music world as we know it today.  I highly recommend you pick up a physical copy of this album today, if you're unable to locate one, it's probably due to high demand, go ahead and score a digital version to hold you over.  You can find one or both at one of the links below, for certain, no doubt!!  If you're a fan of Eric Victorino's The Limousines, or the band Interpol, this band will suit you perfectly.  Also, if you relish The Killers, grab a copy of Latenite Automatic, you will not be let down, it's a guarantee!!  Amazing talent, great music, great grooves and beats!!
RATING: 9/10
