Close Your Eyes – Line In The Sand
Close Your Eyes placed themselves firmly on the melodic hardcore map with the release of “We Will Overcome” and “Empty Hands And Heavy Hearts”.
World War Z
World War Z might be based on the book by Max Brooks, but it’s not as if you would notice it if you didn’t know it. Whereas the book is a collection of fictitious UN reports, eyewitness reports and interviews with soldiers, survivors and scientists who look back on the zombie apocalypse a couple of years after the facts, the movie is a no holds barred blockbuster that places you right in the action and that will have you on the edge of your seat.
Snatch / Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels
Guy Ritchie’s career can be divided in three periods: before, during and after Madonna. Those three periods can be described as good, bad and good again. Or are you that one person who thought that Swept Away and Revolver were worth your time? Didn’t think so.
Wanted / Salt
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment was kind enough to release a whole bunch of duo-packs that include some sweet movies. Fans of Angelina Jolie for example can rejoice with Wanted and Salt, two of her best movies. Let’s face it… she’s seen her share of crappy movies (Tomb Raider? Gone In Sixty Seconds? Taking Lives?) so it could’ve been a lot worse.
Toxic Holocaust – Chemistry Of Consciousness
Let’s get ready to rumbleeeeeeee!
Arliss Nancy – Wild American Runners
Arliss Nancy has been listening to a fair amount of The Hold Steady, Lucero, The Gaslight Anthem and Springsteen if you ask me.
The Dismemberment Plan – Uncanney Valley
Who here remembers The Dismemberment Plan? Raise your hands! They released a couple of solid albums back in the day (1999’s “Emergency & I”, 2001’s “Change”) and called it a day after that.
Pentimento – Inside The Sea EP
Following the free release of their self-titled album last year, Pentimento is back at it with a 4-song EP called “Inside The Sea”.
Audacity – Butter Knife
Even though Audacity has already cranked out a bunch of EPs and LPs in the decade they’ve been around, “Butter Knife” is my first encounter with these California-based garage-rockers.
Radioactivity - Radioactivity
Marked Men might not be around anymore but that’s okay because we already had Mark Ryan’s Mind Spiders and now we have Radioactivity, which sees Ryan reunited with Jeff Burke.
