Some think that hardcore punk has been vitiated by the many artists who have appropriated some of its stylistic trappings and draped them over other, less intense rock subgenres. Others see such cross-pollination as proof of hardcore's enduring vitality and continued relevance; two decades after critics first pronounced punk dead. Beloved is obviously a band from the latter camp; it prides itself on fusing emo and melodic indie rock elements with hardcore's emotional bluster and turbulent guitar roar, and it does so successfully on its debut album. The juxtaposition doesn't always feel completely natural; on one or two of these songs you get the feeling that the lead vocalist suddenly realized he'd been singing for two verses and that it was time to start screaming again. But when everything comes together, the effect is electric: note, for example, "Death to Traitors," which alternates spiky and intricate guitar arpeggios with interludes of dreamy ethereality before lapsing into jagged, complex math-core. "Insult to Injury," the album's closing track, starts out as a piece of aggressive but melodically compelling indie rock, then suddenly erupts into hoarse, stutter-step screamo. It's exhausting but fun, and a mighty impressive first effort. ~ Rick Anderson

When an artist wants to be truly harsh and blistering, density can be a highly effective tool. In avant-garde jazz, density is the thing that makes Charles Gayle, Albert Ayler, and post-1964 John Coltrane much harsher than AACM icons like Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell -- and in metal, density is what gives Slayer's God Hates Us All a claustrophobic quality that you don't get from the old-school fantasy metal of Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Ronnie ...

Failure On music CDs
$11.39
On her debut album, Just Like Breathing, San Francisco singer/songwriter Missy Roback weighs in with the kind of pensive, literate, sweetness that heretofore seemed the sole domain of Aimee Mann. Roback's is a layered, moody blend of folk-pop that steers wide of most predictable alt-singer/songwriter fare. "Sight Unseen" and "Take It Back" are a pair of ruminative beauties wrapped in escalating, atmospheric production, courtesy of Roback's husband, Steven Roback (formerly of '80s paisley underground heroes Rain Parade). And Roback's unobtrusively earnest vocals and songwriting are the perfect foil for her husband's production touches, which add enough of an ethereal quality to the proceedings without losing the songs in the haze. "Compass," meanwhile, is a drop-dead gorgeous number bolstered by an almost back-porch instrumental feel, with sweet electric guitar noodlings weaving in and out of acoustic guitar, and cello, with the drums dealt only glancing blows. This is a subtle and fragile album with a deceptively strong pulse. Players on Just Like Breathing include Steven Roback (keyboards, bass, and guitars), Tim Mooney (American Music Club) on drums, and Diana Senechal on cello. ~ Erik Hage
"Quite simply a knock-out. Missy possesses a rare vocal gift." - Magnet"A stunner." - HarpMissy Roback's debut CD, Just Like Breathing, features her haunting vocals and spare songwriting over psychedelic alt-country arrangements. From the droning slide mantra of "Take It Back" to the mournful elegy ...

Thrilled Skinny were a indie pop punk outfit from Luton Town in England UK who released most of their records on their own Hunchback Records. Early recordings were fast, thrashy and, to be honest, something of a racket. Their first LP managed to cram 22 tracks into its 38 minutes, ranging from Ramones-style blasts to downright noise. However, after a frantic start they slowed things down a little, smoothed off the rough edges and began producing some rather good tunes. 1990's second album, 'It's ...
