3: The Ghost You Gave To Me
3 is a band that can’t be simply described. The best way to put them is a “progressive-avant-garde-rock-metal” band, but that would be missing elements of their broad sound. This is my first experience with 3 and I realize what I’ve been missing out on. I’m planning on buying all of their past albums after

MEB Stream: The Nick Johnston Band- “Wander (Feat. Zack Ordway)”
Now, I know we don’t normally post much rock, but this is an exceptional track. Instrumental rock isn’t really my forte’, but after I heard the new album Public Display Of Infection that was sent to me by Nick Johnston himself, I must say I really liked it. Then when I heard that Travis Orbin

Currents: Currents EP
You know what makes me sad? The fact that some bands (cough BrokeNCYDE cough Millionaires cough) can get “famous” seemingly in a heartbeat, but bands that have honest talent, honest tact and honest taste are the last to get praised. Bands like L.A.-based Currents, who have just completed their self-titled EP. In this EP, Currents

We Were Promised Jetpacks: In the Pit of the Stomach
On their latest album In the Pit of the Stomach, Scottish ambient rockers We Were Promised Jetpacks have taken an interesting turn from their last album. This album has a signature sound that is instantly recognizable as a WWPJ album, but with a different feel. Think along the lines of The Gaslight Anthem’s The ’59 Sound, Kings of Leon’s Because of

MUTEMATH: Odd Soul
MUTEMATH has always had a way of bringing in fans from everywhere. Their ways of consistently creating music that is not strictly in the cramped borderlines of specific genres has opened doors not only to a bigger fan base, but also to what they can accomplish as a band. When a band/artist confines themselves to

Mayday Parade: Mayday Parade
Out of all of the albums that were released October 4th, this was the one I was least sure about. While A Lesson In Romantics was damn near perfection, Anywhere But Here, while still good, seemed to miss its mark. If only I could have predicted their recent return to form. From beginning to end,

Opeth: Heritage
There are no epic death growls here. Now that we have the obvious out of the way, let’s focus on what this album actually stands for. The album art stands for where Opeth is today in their careers. In a seemingly unfortunate move (though this is hopefully not true) the roots of what the tree

The Subways: Money and Celebrity
The Subways are finally back, releasing their third full-length album, Money and Celebrity. Carrying the over-arching theme of, well, money and celebrity, the album provides an outlet for the band’s views on everything to do with fame and fortune AND how they don’t need any of it.
