Children Of Bodom Hatebreeder CD

----------------"In fewer than 25 minutes, Sleeping in the Aviary's Oh, This Old Thing? establishes the band as a viable contender for the Next Big Indie Thing. The Madison, Wisconsin trio's Science of Sound debut is flat out exciting - like riding the Gravitron at the carnival (minus the subsequent urge to vomit). The sound is at times reminiscent of bands like The Libertines and The Vines, filled with driving rock 'n' roll but also offering moments of delightful pop melodies ("Gloworm") or Art Brut-style calamity ("Maureen")...."--Betsy Boston, Three Imaginary Girls"On Oh, This Old Thing?, Sleeping In The Aviary prove that pop pulchritude and punk frenzy are always a winning combination. Whether singer Elliott Kozel is setting the hook of the too-brief "Gloworm" with his best impression of a vaudevillian warble or the whole Aviary crew are tumbling headlong through the full-scale guitar-bass-drums freakout that is "Drug Suitcase," the result is always irresistible..." --Tom Laskin, The IsthmusHailing from the City of Madison in the ...

+VICTORY REVIEW MAGAZINE, January 2008, Seattle, WA, USAThe New Prohibition Band's new CD Busted, has something old, something new, something original and 13 tracks worth listening to. Self described as 'psychedelic old-time & haunting maladies', it's an apt description for this band's brand of bootleg bluegrass that delivers its songs with chilling effectiveness. They do it with Cera Impala on banjo and vocals, Dirk Ronneburg on fiddle and vocals and Phil Post on upright bass. The CD begins with the traditional foot stomping instrumental, "Remember What You Told Me," and includes excellent versions of other well known traditionals � "Shady Grove," "Wayfaring Stranger", "Angeline the Baker", "Say darling Say," and "Valley Forge." Impala and Ronneburg have worked out some beautiful harmonies. Their version of "Shady Grove," is a good example. Ronneburg has written lyrics to "Angeline the Baker." Turns out Angeline has been growing something illegal on the back forty. He also wrote "Informant 559," a dance tune about a guy who spills the beans on his friends when he gets caught growing the same thing as Angeline. The other six songs on Busted were written by Impala. She's got some real good ones too, but "River Song," and "Jihad," are my favorites. Her voice and songs are eerie, graceful and a little odd. It's like she's living with a back woods secret she's determined to keep. It's too bad the CD doesn't come with a lyric sheet. If it did I'd be reading the lyrics to "Jihad," very carefully. The middle- eastern melody and Impala's vocals are tragically beautiful, but I can't make out all the words. The New Prohibition Band was ...
