Ironbound

I just love how these older bands get faster and harder with time! This latest Overkill CD is almost an hour of speed and fury.

Odd Blood

US trio Yeasayer are musical magpies, cut from the same cloth as acts like MGMTor Santogold. “Odd Blood” is their sophomore disc, comprising catchy jittery electronic Pop with a myriad of influences.

Just wanted to post a warning review to you Knopfler fans out there……I previously owned the VHS version of this show, and I have never been so impressed by the sound of basic VHS Hi Fi as I was with that tape. So, of course, when I found out a few months after buying the [...]

Greatest Hits

Sorry, but the remastering on this CD is awful. All of the previous Who collection sound better, especially “Then and Now.” Skip this.
