Looks like I wound back around to Kylesa to conclude. Seems appropriate, considering their career trajectory feels similar—this trio just has two fewer members. And even though forefathers like Helmet are showing more promise than they have in years, there is plenty of room for Goes Cube to grow in The Big Apple’s concrete jungle.

This has certainly been a good year for bands like Sweet Cobra and their musical approach. I would recommend checking this out, especially if you enjoy Coliseum and Black Tusk.

I don’t care how complex and enigmatic you purport to be—gimme some friggin’ songs. Tub Ring is one of those bands that frustrates me because something tells me that I ought to like this music. Every allusion to Mike Patton’s various projects triggers my happy sensors, but with the amount this band misfires, I keep questioning my own instincts.

I appreciate Zeuss’ full production, and the control that Joey and Wednesday have over the final product, but perhaps wanted to give too much. With better focus and judicious editing, their next effort may be deadly.

“Goner” is a cornucopia of anger, depression and despair,conveyed through each song.

This is a special live release from Infectious Grooves and Cyco Miko, which are technically the same people but with a slightly different style. The sound quality could be better but otherwise, an interesting set to review.
