Bronx Cheerleader have released their debut album titled "Tough Guy Cliches." This album has a very slow, almost acoustic, lighter psychedelic rock feel to it that really reminds us of that early 60's music. They have a similar sound obviously to any of those lighter 60's rock artists, so if you are into that, you could really like this album. They have done a pretty good job. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to a pretty decent level. It has that old rock feel and is still updated enough to not have that old recording sound. The instrumentation on this album is pretty straight forward as most 60's lighter rock bands were, but they can still play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are done quite well. He has that light, higher, soft voice you hear in stuff like ELO and that. A nice clear voice makes you not miss a word and really just enjoy the music. With the lyrics, the band goes for messages of being happy, having a good life, while also having that feeling of wanting to see someone who wronged you, crash and fall. It's nice to see a band mostly focus on the good things, which not a lot of bands do. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of this album. Bronx Cheerleader is a band that by the name, you wouldn't think they sound the way they do. A nice older sound that gives you a nostalgic feel and still works well. We think they did a pretty good job on their debut welcome to album. He hope to hear more. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Cowlick have released their debut album titled "Eternia Hernia." We are not exactly sure what that means, but we do no that this band likes to make a lot of noise just like the Garage Rock bands like to. They have a similar sound to a dirty, loud rock band with a hint of punk here. Not really any one band to name that they are like. They have done an okay job on the album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded in a pretty dirty, haze filled kind of way, which doesn't sound to great, but it is the style fans of this music like and it is what they were going for. The instrumentation on the album is not bad. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals are pretty good for the style they are going for, they really work. With the lyrics, they could use a little work to get more of a real and meaningful message out in their music that their fans will really grasp. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of this album. Cowlick have made a sort of welcome to album that shows off a rusty, dirty, noise band that isn't really what we are into but we can see why people would like it. Hopefully with some progression, they can get a more fine tuned, sound that more people will go for. We also hope they get out more to get more of a buzz around the band. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it.

Acid Priest - Fast Love

1. Intro
2. Midnight Celebrity
3. Redlight
4. Webb Road
5. Jumbotron
6. Viper Room
7. Venom

Acid Priest have released their second album titled "Fast Love." Fast Love follows the same style and has the same feel as the bands previous effort. These guys have a very old rock, psychedelic feel to them that resonates with the 70's rock and Monster Truck fans. If you are into that, this album and band are for you. It is a decent album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded pretty well and gives you the sound they are looking for. The bands instrumentation could be a bit better here though. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals sound like they are behind something, or coming through a fog, which isn't the most appealing thing. As well, you can tell that it needs a little work on the singing there. With the lyrics, they are pretty down and gloomy which is what fans of this music like, but again, they could use a little work as well. If you are looking for a single to this album, listen to the song "Jumbotron", as this is the best song on the album and feel gives you the feel for what the rest of the album is like.. Acid Priest have made an album that really throws back to the 70's rock times and gives you a nostalgic feel. Hopefully with a little work on the singing, this band can really bring it up a notch. They do have potential and would be nice to see them max it out. We also hope the band gets out there and plays more shows to get a buzz out. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Acid Priest - Outta Control

1. Broken Halo

2. Kiss Of Death

3. Crux

4. Vacation Wasteland

5. Maria Harley

6. Rollercoaster

7. Splinter (Blue Serpent)

Acid Priest have that old time rock and roll feel that seems to be sweeping the nation as of right now. It's not a bad thing that people are getting back into it, but its just not very original anymore. Think of a band like Monster Truck and they will be something like this band. When looking at the recording quality of this album,  it could use a little work on getting a few things to sound a little better and the instrumentation is lacking for a classic rock band as those guys can shred guitars. now looking at the vocals and lyrics, the vocals seem to be too far in the background and the stoner rock sort of vocals make it very hard to hear what the singer is actually saying and the echo just takes away from the band sadly instead of upping the stoner feel. The lyrics are pretty hard to tell what they are saying with the echo also. If you are looking for a single from this album, there isn't one, so just pick any song and give it a listen to see what the feel of the album is. Acid Priest is doing a good job with making the stoner rock and it seems to be catching on with this band, so hopefully they just make the vocals a little more understandable along with playing more and more shows, they will take this somewhere. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.
