hard-core niche of Cakeheads, and you may count us among them. Check out our
exclusive shots of John McCrea and crew... >> |

Bullet For My Valentine, Scream Aim Fire, Jive - So this is where metal has been hiding! One of the most anticipated releases of 2008, BFMV does anything but disappoint. The band takes a quantum leap toward being the heavyweight champs of the genre... Click here to

Jesca Hoop, Kismet, Columbia Records – This sort of fell out of the skies on us. Released in late ’07, we (admittedly) missed this when is first came through. Finally rising to the top of the pile, we’re glad we finally made Ms. Hoop’s acquaintance. Her beautiful, multi-faceted voice is immediately pleasing, but has a different quality than the norm.

Further Down, 7 Years Hard Luck, Woodshed Records – This is ass-kicking, no holds barred, roadside bar Southern Rock in the classic sense. These Arkansas boys deliver authentic emotion, dirty guitars, and music that needs chicks and whiskey. The grit of a track like “One Night Stand Up” isn’t something you’re likely to hear on rock radio today. Click here to

Framing Hanley, The Moment, Silent Majority Group – If these guys can get some radio play, they’ve got a big future on their hands. From the opening strains of “Home,” The Moment has the promise of big, big things. These guys definitely understand the rock song formula – no song is longer than 3:50, they all progress perfectly, and each song could stand as a single. Click here to

10,000 Laughs: Best of the Boston Comedy Festival, Koch Records - Even with plenty of anti-Bush/war commentary, this CD doesn't get bogged down in political humor. It's some of the best relatively unknown comics you'll ever hear, and it is laugh-out-loud funny. Highlights of this two-disc set are the set from the hilarious Tom Cotter (and his ninja jokes), very real Floyd J. Philips and the smooth Darryl Lenox... Click here to

June, Make It Blur, Victory Records - Come the end of this year, if Make It Blur isn't on many "Top 10 of 2007" lists, then something went horribly wrong. Poised for a breakthrough year, June have constructed a record that is filled with pure emo-pop masterpieces, while also maintaining an air of originality in a crowded neighborhood. Building on the success of 2005's vastly underappreciated If You Speak Any Faster, these Chicago natives take their game to the next level... Click here to

Aiden, Conviction, Victory Records - Another stellar band from Victory Records' deep stable, Aiden have perfected the sound of teen male angst, overlayed with music and lyrical maturity that is far beyond their years. Being able to prefectly convey the confusion, emotional baggage and anger of the typical 16-year-old male isn't easy, but after a couple of listens, it should all make sense. Click here to
