On their 2006 debut When All That's Left Is You, Minneapolis quintet Quietdrive mixes up elements from the last three decades of alt rock. There's more than a hint of '80s new wave and college rock, most prominently on a cover of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time," but also in their cavernous drums, old-school synths, and pulsating guitar rhythms, plus the occasional sugary singalong chorus. But their basic style is grounded in '90s alt rock, in its surging guitar rock explorations of angst, anthemic choruses, and flourishes of blink-182-styled punk-pop. But, at its heart, When All That's Left Is You is a thoroughly modern rock record -- pretty and processed, neurotic and narcissistic, clean, crisp, and professional -- so it plays smoothly, but doesn't leave much of a lasting impression. Although they can pull off the occasional naggingly catchy chorus -- particularly on the opening triptych of "Rise from the Ashes," "Get Up," and "Take a Drink" -- Quietdrive doesn't have a distinctive spin on modern rock; in fact, for all of lead singer/songwriter Kevin Truckenmiller's emo navel-gazing, he does seem more comfortable with following the pack, or as he says on "Take a Drink" "I never wanna be part of the herd/I guess I was in case you haven't heard/Maybe you can tell that I can't stand/The way I want to be the included." That sentiment sums up the sound and emotion of Quietdrive's debut; for a bunch of self-centered and self-obsessed songs, it sure sounds like everything else out there. Not markedly worse or better, mind you -- just more of the same. And while that may get them a single or two as background music on an MTV reality show, it will have about the same shelf life as that show as well. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

These guys are really good. I heard their Time after Time cover late on night on radio and bought their album the next day. I highly recommend it.

Nickelback: Ryan Peake, Chad Kroeger (vocals, guitar); Mike Kroeger (bass guitar); Daniel Adair (drums).
With their fourth album, All the Right Reasons, Nickelback ditches any pretense of being a grunge band and finally acknowledges they're a straight-up heavy rock band. Not that they've left the angst of grunge behind: they're a modern rock band living in a post-grunge world, so there's lots of tortured emotions threaded throughout ...

The Toronto Star - by Geoff Chapman"Havana fun time at an Afro-Cuban Fiesta. HAVANA TO TORONTO" Luis Mario Ochoa, a 10-year Torontonian shows his roots on La Fiesta. La Fiesta (LMOCD1)Havana-born Luis Mario Ochoa's warm tenor voice dominates his second CD featuring the band CimarrĂ³n, which he formed shortly after settling in Toronto in 1990. The nine-tune session smartly underlines the priority he places on Afro-Cuban roots amid a sparkling fusion of steamy Cuban and Puerto Rican salsa. Charts and ensembles are tough and tight and the beat tougher still on a classy release from a future star who wrote all the songs.Americas Magazine - by Mark HolstonThe rapid pace in recent decades of immigration in Canada by people from throughout the world, particularly Latin America and the Caribbean has served to infuse new vitality into that nation's arts community. The arrival of diverse talent Canadian artist to initiate collaborations that lead to rewards for both the participants and their audiences.
