There are times when English-speaking listeners can't tell whether or not an alternative pop/rock band is British. Bands from Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, York, or Newcastle-upon-Tyne don't necessarily sound like they're from England; some British bands sound like they could just as easily be from Seattle or Minneapolis. But other British bands have a distinctly U.K. sensibility; Oasis, Suede, Radiohead, and Coldplay immediately come to mind. And on their debut album, Wicked Man's Rest, Brighton, England's Passenger favor a tuneful, alternative pop/rock approach that is unapologetically British-sounding. It isn't just the melodic and harmonic influence of the Beatles as well as more modern U.K. icons like Coldplay and Radiohead; it's also the lyrics that Passenger's lead singer Mike Rosenberg writes -- lyrics that often have a dry, witty sense of humor that is recognizably British. That isn't to say that Rosenberg goes out of his way to ignore non-British artists; in fact, Passenger's website describes him as "a singer/songwriter reared on Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Van Morrison," which means that he grew up listening to Americans (Dylan), Canadians (Young), and Irishmen (Morrison). But Brit-pop is the dominant influence on clever tracks such as "Night Vision Binoculars," "Four Horses," and "Needle in the Dark"; Wicked Man's Rest falls on the Brit-pop side of alternative pop/rock, and that's a positive thing because Rosenberg is obviously good at what he does. Wicked Man's Rest is mildly inconsistent, but overall, this is a promising and attractive debut from Rosenberg and his colleagues. ~ Alex Henderson

While the divide between stoner metal and indie rock had been eroding for some time by 2005, this debut by Black Mountain evaporated any such distinctions entirely. By packing allusions to the Velvet Underground, David Bowie, and Roxy Music in the same bowl with Sabbath and Pentagram, BLACK MOUNTAIN simultaneously reinvigorated a tired catalog of riffs and ripped the lid off a vibrant ...

"Pete Minda's singing can easily stand up to any one of his folk influences. His voice is touched with that boxcar tone found in some of the early American crooners but with a more relevant passion and richer vocal and guitar tones."Eric Shea, Listen.ComAt the place where soul meets folk, pop meets rock and earnestness meets wit stands.....well nothing stands there but if something did, it would be the music of singer/songwriter/guitarist Pete Minda.

| | Shitswarm Anti-Thology CD (2008)
Wicked Man's Rest music CDs
$10.65
Early 2008 has seen the formation, fruition and near stagnation of one of the world’s most uniquely idiosyncratic, enigmatic punk outfits. What is known of highly eccentric Tyneside based “SHITSWARM” follows: Shielded by a cloak of suspicion and anonymity, it is rumoured that the four band members do not acknowledge one another's real names because they do not actually know them. Their pseudonyms are “GOBSHITE” (vocals), “BIGHEED” (guitar), “PSYCHO” (bass), and “THICKIE” (drums). Their only interview, with jaded hack Daisy Gorge, was conducted in full beekeeper garb so none of their features were visible. The current direction of “SHITSWARM” was altered somewhat by the band’s decision to abandon all plans that would involve live performance. Accusing long-standing acts of participating in an ongoing nostalgia circus, not to mention their total refusal to play in any venue that actively enforces a smoking ban, as well as a reluctance to be photographed by mobile phones, “SHITSWARM” ...

Sky K was born in NYC and burst into the Australian Hip Hop scene in 2006. He was immediately noticed for his urban R&B/Hip Hop style. The first track he released was titled True Luv with vocals, beat, and production created by Sky K himself. The song featured another up and coming artist named MC Impact from NSW and shortly after, Sky was asked to do some work on the infamous Heavyweights album titled 3’s a crowd released in 2007. His two tracks on the album, “I’m Sorry” and “First Encounter” are two tracks full of attitude, energy and made himself a noticeable in the Australian Hip Hop community.But not only is Sky K a dynamic lyricist with a raspy flow, easily distinguishing him from the many other artists, but he also brings to his music, melodic harmonies with a street gospel appeal which makes his material individual with a sound like no other. His release of “Step,” is a grand showcase of the mixture of his talents with a falsetto chorus and ...
