Eclectic Vibes
by Andrew Frey
Burning Brides - Anhedonia
Burning BridesAnhedonia
Label: CobraSide Distribution
A hard rockin’ trio pumping out a flavorful spin on heavy alternative rock with a heavy hand in the low end grooves and a droning swagger filled with post punk angst and profound awareness. “Anhedonia” means the inability to gain pleasure from enjoyable experiences.

Dengue FeverVenus On Earth
Label: M80 Music
Have you been searching for 60’s retro Cambodian pop rock with a psychedelic slur and female vocals? Then look no further than this flamboyant Los Angeles-based group to fulfill your need!

Eivind OpsvikOverseas III
Label: Loyal Label
Classic straight jazz turned into an ambient field and then nudged with noise, progressive elements and a few electronica glitches. This Norwegian born and NYC based composer records and plays live with a 4-piece ensemble called Overseas.

HydrogynDeadly Passions
Label: DR2 Records
Smart, sexy, determined and connected (they scored a Pepsi gig off their demo!), this well fueled metal outfit struts their stuff with a stunning female presence in front and a furious musical appeal in tow.
• Hydrogyn WebsiteLeatherwolf - New World Asylum
LeatherwolfNew World Asylum
Label: Self Released
Megadeth meets Metal Church in this surprisingly good thrash attack throwback. With Mustain-like vocals and kick ass catchy riffs n chops this release will certainly stress my neck well into the future.

Legendary Shack ShakersSwampblood
Label: Yep Rock Records
Wailing hillbilly psycho swamp rock with a gothic snicker and a bluesy swagger showing off the strange and soulful American South. This is the third and final installment of the “Tentshow Trilogy.” Git sum!

Gemini Sun Records PresentsLive!
Label: Gemini Sun Records
Taking 4 of their highest selling new age artists, David Arkenstone, Loren Gold, Nicholas Gunn and Johannes Linstead, and pairing them together in a CD and DVD combo package is formulated to be a sure bet for this label. I pretty much agree
• Gemini Sun Records Presents WebsiteMike Zito - Today
Mike ZitoToday
Label: Eclecto Groove Records
Soulful bluesy roots rock combined with pop singer/songwriter mischief. Zito got into music at an early age and has a veteran attitude to compliment. The vocal delivery strikes me as having a Dave Matthews-ish sashay layered in an adult-contemporary musical playground.
• Mike Zito WebsiteNeverdie - no ROCK uN ROLLed
Neverdieno ROCK uN ROLLed
Label: Club NEVERDIE Records
Generally cheeky and heavily sample-induced dance music from Club Neverdie, the most famous (and highest grossing) virtual nightclub in the world. Neverdie also happens to be the avatar of multi-talented singer/songwriter John Jacobs who is at the forefront of this new wave of nightlife entertainment.
• Neverdie WebsiteMelvins - Nude With Boots
MelvinsNude With Boots
Label: Ipecac Recordings
Repeating the lineup of their prior release, King Buzzo and crew blast through a perky platter of lowbrow musical adjectives and adverbs to arise victorious and refreshed after the 872nd year of the band’s existence. Viva La Melvins!
• The Melvins Website • The Melvins WikiMock Orange - Captain Love
Mock OrangeCaptain Love
Label: Wednesday Records
Casting an indie rock aura for meters in all directions, this tried and true band has weathered thru a lawsuit from George Lucas (for their Dead Droid Record Label) and come out crafty, quirky and generally plucky.

Natalia ZukermanBrand New Frame
Label: Weasel Records
It is a bit of a conundrum how the daughter of a flutist and a violinist manages to find herself producing tantalizing bluesy guitar rock driven by her husky vocals. Her Americana attitude intermingles with a country and folk backbone while being complimented by the Willy Porter production.
