| | Vermishus Suburban Parallax CD - Import Vermishus Discography of CDs
This mini-album marks the debut of Australian hard-rock band Vermishus.
Suburban Parallax is immediately remarkable for the range of Liz Evlander's lead vocals. If you didn't know otherwise, you might assume the lower-register vocals to be an entirely different (perhaps even male) member of the band, but they're all her work, with some backup vocal support from guitarist-bassist Jacinta Perram. However, it's the only truly remarkable thing about this debut six-song EP (or mini-album, as the vernacular seemed to be leaning toward in the early 21st century). It's edgy alternative guitar rock with bittersweet vocal blends, sometimes with the dragging-accelerated tempo variance common throughout much of the field in the 1990s and early 2000s. The lyrics seem to be projecting ominous sentiments of sorts, but they're not clear enough in enunciation or intent to make a deep impact. ~ Richie Unterberger

Purchase Suburban Parallax CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Susan Boyle I Dreamed A Dream CD (2009)
Suburban Parallax album
 $9.55     
Susan Boyle's grand unveiling on Britain's Got Talent was with a song from Les Miserables - the very song that lends this album its title -- and if she could become an international sensation based on a show tune standard, there's no reason for her to change her approach on her debut, since that's the sound that made her a star. Plus, a large part of Boyle's appeal is that she's a middle-aged woman recalling ...

| | Arms of Kismet Cutting Room Rug CD (2005)
Suburban Parallax CD music
$11.39
The follow-up to Arms of Kismet's 2004 release, Eponymous, finds much darker things emerging from Mark Doyon's pen. The theme here is put right on the table with opening track "Auriculara (Listen to Me)," reprised with two 30-second moments later on -- "Listen (To This)" and "Listen (To That)." Not recommended for bipolar people, there are more down moods painted then ups, making the earlier disc more inviting. "Clarendon" is an interesting episode on this close to 35-minute outing that travels through rockabilly and post-punk worlds like a journeyman possessed. The singer/songwriter stretches through these dark passages on Cutting Room Rug with his dry, witty observations. "Cracks" explains it in an airy moment, drums brushing against a collage of sounds that sets the stage for "Pinnacle of Same." "Pinnacle" hits a majestic tone aided by Beatles-influenced guitars -- mastering engineer Jon Astley (having worked with George Harrison) certainly knows how to keep them subtle and sweet. It's the opposite of "Coil," a tune that pulsates slowly, with sounds that pull the listener back into the cave. "Life Imitates" finds Doyon's collaborator from his earlier Wampeters ensemble, Kowtow Popof, returning to lend a hand on what could easily be dubbed "downer folk." Other guests join the montage on this intriguing but sometimes disturbing statement, which closes out with "Listen to You." The give and take slips everything back into the solitary mood, kind of like George Harrison's reworking of the slow version of "Isn't It a Pity" on All Things Must Pass, a counterpoint to its exhilarating doppelgänger, in this case "Auriculara (Listen to Me)," which started the whole thing off. ~ Joe Viglione
If Arms of Kismet's 2004 debut, Eponymous, was a heartfelt affirmation, the new Cutting Room Rug is its prankster twin, fusing parodic rants with tragic laments in a playful cocktail of satire and sincerity. From the mischievous "Clover" to the ominous "Coil," the new CD is a dark joyride, careening from track to track like a condemned man in a funhouse. Its inhabitants can only cry at weddings, can only laugh at funerals.Fans of postmodern popsters like Beck, The Flaming Lips, and The Postal Service will ...

| | Tim Schweiger Schwim Tiger CD (2008)
Suburban Parallax songs
$9.85
My name is Timothy Schweiger. I've been playing music for about fifteen years.. I'm not at the top of my career but I'm still doing better than I was in eighth grade fronting Amazing Larry (named after a small character in Pee Wee's Big Adventure, still one of Tim Burton's Finest moments) for $20 a show. Since I graduated high school I've been in some bands that put out some records on some neat labels (see the selected discography included below). I currently have an album of unreleased old songs alongside well cut, full band and acoustic demos called 'Schwim Tiger' that I'm looking to get label support for.I'm trying to keep things moving on my own. This project is a three piece rock and roll band with a bit of blues and punk influence. The songs have big hooks. The lyrics are honest and simple. Each member of the Middle Men (Tim Schweiger/vocals/guitar, Tyler Ditter/Bass/vocals, and Amos Pitsch/drums/vocals) spent our adolescence obsessing over 1980's/early 90's power pop and punk. Later, in our early twenties, we began exploring the Mississippi delta blues movement and other songs from the old south. The result is smart ...
