 (6 Customer Reviews)
Ignite are one band whose sound is hard to pin down, as their music contains elements of punk, hardcore, alternative, and even (to a lesser degree) heavy metal. Any band that refuses to be pigeonholed in the early 21st century should be commended, and Ignite continue on their path with their 2006 release Our Darkest Days. Six years have passed without a new album by the group (who do they think they are, Boston?), but the Orange County quintet has reappeared seemingly from nowhere with its fourth full-length (and first for new label Abacus). Despite containing hints of hardcore here and there, frontman Zoli Teglas completely bypasses barking vocals in favor of melodic singing, which makes it not hard to imagine such tracks as "Fear Is Our Tradition" and "Let It Burn" being played on a local mainstream rock radio station. That said, tracks such as the Bad Religion-esque "Poverty for All" sound custom-made for slam dancing at the Warped Tour. It may have taken for what seemed like forever to get their fourth long-player released, but Our Darkest Days is sure to not let down fans who snapped up such releases as A Place Called Home and Call on My Brothers. ~ Greg Prato

Our Darkest Days album
 $9.85 
The post-grunge band Ignite follows the late '90s spirit of anger inspired punk rock thrash. Pop kids who worship the likes of KORN, Limp Bizkit, and Blink 182 will be pleased with this quartet's debut, A Place Called Home. Its gut-wrenching spit of churning percussive throws and spiraling guitar licks still make corporate modern punk music something ...
| | Social Distortion Sex, Love And Rock 'N' Roll CD (2004)
Our Darkest Days CD music
$11.99 
A major force in West Coast punk since the early 1980s, Social Distortion became the longest-lasting of their peers, with perhaps only Bad Religion for company. Through a daunting history of ups and downs, drug problems, personnel shifts, and worse, the band soldiered on fearlessly, never sacrificing the righteous fury of their sound. Following a layoff of eight years (during which time singer Mike Ness pursued a solo career), SEX, LOVE AND ROCK 'N' ROLL was the group's first foray into the studio since the death of founding guitarist Dennis Danell in 2000.
With longtime bassist John Maurer and the revitalizing power of a new guitarist and drummer, Social Distortion maintains the lean, propulsive punk attack that made them famous. While the group's trademark ...
| | Strung Out Exile In Oblivion CD (2004)
Our Darkest Days music CDs
$6.65  
After over a decade in existence, Strung Out has settled into flagship position at Fat Wreck. But as Exile in Oblivion's streamlined sound and thoughtful lyrics suggest, the quintet has also reached veteran status musically. Beginning with its rich, evocative artwork, Exile is by no means just the next California punk-pop record. After a rousing opener that establishes the harder-hitting side of the band's mix of punk revivalism and melodic hardcore, Strung Out drops "Blueprint of the Fall." Over a Bad Religion backbeat and not-overdone metal guitar flourishes, vocalist Jason Cruz delivers a sobering rumination on 9/11 and the state of American freedom. "Imagine a place where freedom's just a word on the wall/Surrounded by the wreckage of towers that could never fall"; "One thief to rule them all along the Potomac" -- it's heavy stuff. But while he's certainly passionate, Cruz frames his words as poetry, so they don't come off as preachy. ...

| | Music From Merkin Manor CD (1972)
Our Darkest Days music CDs
$11.69
Music From Merkin Manor is a strangely interesting album as might be expected from a group of young longhairs playing a combination of psychedelic, country, and hard rock in smalltown Utah in the early 1970s. The album opens up with "Ruby," a song on which Merkin sound something like the Association on acid singing harmonies that sound slightly off-kilter while being backed by Blue Oyster Cult. Odd, to say the least. There are many recognizable influences on the album, but many of the influences wouldn't seem as if they should be within miles of each other. As a result, a song such as "Take Some Time" has the druggy ambience of early-'70s stoner rock moving into pop verses, before it somehow evolves into a jazz jam. "Todaze," again sounds not unlike the Association (a comparison that consistently holds throughout the album) in terms of the vocals, but only if that pop act was backed by a groovy hard rock band fronted by Carlos Santana that was capable of shifting rhythms at the drop of a dime. "Sweet Country," just as the title implies, tries on country-rock without batting an eye, and many of the songs graft similarly across-the-board influences together, and somehow generally do so in a tidy pop-song framework of three to four minutes. It is terribly intriguing ...
| | Low Things We Lost In The Fire CD (2001)
Our Darkest Days songs
$11.89 
Over the course of their career, Low's glacially beautiful music has gradually melted into something much more accessible and intimate. The thaw culminates on Things We Lost in the Fire; despite its brooding title, it's the group's loveliest, most approachable collection of songs yet. Voluptuous strings, softly fuzzy guitars, and propulsive percussion suffuse songs like the sweetly melancholy opener "Sunflower" and the slo-mo pop of "Dinosaur Act" and "July" with a warmth and direction that Low's best work has ...
