| | Cal / Pas Handbag Memoirs CD Cal / Pas Discography of CDs
Blissful popsters Pas/Cal debuted their graceful pop sound with The Handbag Memoirs EP in 2002. Having impressed Le Grand Magistery owner Matthew Jacobson with their demo, the Detroit band quickly polished the six songs that would construct this impressive first effort. Opening with the cleverly titled "The Bronze Beached Boys (Come on Let's Go)," the song encapsulates the band's light and lively pop sound, rising and falling in unabashed glee, led by Casimer Pascal's brooding, falsetto lead vocals. While "I'd Bet Your Life That You Bet Your Life" at first seems to be toned down, the song's initial downbeat tones are quickly overwhelmed by the group's cheerful pop sensibilities. The album's refined pop reaches its peak on the blissfully catchy "I Wanna Take You Out in Your Holiday Sweater," with Mortain adding a festive trumpet throughout. The song, and most of the disc, screams of a return to indie pop's past, most notably to Holiday's unabashed optimism. The instrumental "Marion/Mariam" stands out as a textured intermission, and "This Ain't for Everyone" closes out the disc with the band's thoughtful, acoustic contemplation. The song proves the band is certainly not a one-trick pony, shining a light on Pascal as a balladeer, able to change tempo without forsaking artistry. Drummer Little Tommy Daniels and guitarist Gene Corduroy are joined by the First James Last Singers on two tracks, and Dan Ladouceur adds trumpet. ~ Stephen Cramer

Rush is no stranger to best-of compilation albums, they've released a slew of them. They are also no stranger to DVDs. To mark their 35th anniversary, they've released Working Men, which is both; it marks their first best-of live compilation exclusively from the DVD sets Rush in Rio (2003), R30 (2005), and Snakes & Arrows Live (2008). There is also an unreleased cut from R30 -- a killer version of One Little Victory. While fans may simply regard this as a record company cash grab, hardcore fans know how closely Rush monitors each release and controls all aspects of their career. On hearing these tracks without benefit of the visuals, it becomes lucidly clear that in the 21st century, Rush plays more like a hungry act looking to prove themselves rather than as seasoned ...

MATER MACHINA was born in the beginning of 2002 in the North-West of Italy, with the intent to realize a sort of metalcore apart from old cliches, looking towards to other styles but maintaining a powerful impact. The choice of the monicker lets perceive the undertaken direction: a style which reminds the listener of the repetitive, obsessive and perfect power of machines, that could improve metalcore concept leaving behind the old metal and classic hardcore habits. Former line up was made up of 5 elements coming from different musical experiences: Valynor (vocals), at first into black metal; Anti (rhythm guitar) and Lace (bass) interested in nu metal and brutal death; Simone (lead guitar) and Erik (drums) who have been sharing for many years the same passion for techno-thrash/death playing together in various bands. At the beginning of 2003, MATER MACHINA made its debut on the scene with the minicd "... Into Serenity" which collected great ...
| | Coheed & Cambria No World For Tomorrow CD (2007) Bonus DVD; Deluxe Edition
Handbag Memoirs songs
$16.09
Like previous prog powerhouses Rush and Yes, Coheed and Cambria showcase an immediately divisive element in singer Claudio Sanchez's high, sweet voice--a choirboy lilt that undermines the musical muscle for some, while granting it an additional dimension for others. No matter the listener's opinion on the vocals, no one can deny the scope and ambition of C and C's vision. NO WORLD FOR TOMORROW is not just an album--it's also the next chapter in the band's multimedia sci-fi comic book story, THE AMORY WARS. It's rare for a band to use its music specifically to tell a continuous, overarching story, and even rarer for it to come with its own accompanying comic.
