Gentlemen Husbands - Mirror Doll Business




1. Family Economics
2. Ramblin' Andy
3. Goin' To Church
4. Bad Girl
5. Woodwork
6. Mirror Doll Business





Gentlemen Husbands have released their second album titled "Mirror Doll Business." This album follows along with the same style and sound the band created on their debut album. They have a country Indie rock feel to them, and it really airs on the side of country more than rock. They have a similar sound to that of Wilco or The Lazys, so if you are into those bands, you could really like this album. They have done a solid job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded fairly solidly. This album has a nice crisp sound, and it is very listenable. The instrumentation on the album is just pure, straight rock playing. Nothing flashly, nothing over the top, just a nice solid sound. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are  quite good as well. Their vocalist has a nice hard, in your face style, that really brings a full sound to the recording. He can certainly sing, and he is very clear, so you can get just what he is singing about. Great overall. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs that are very small town, and sing about cowboys, drifters, ladies, church, and giving it an old western feel all over. The overall sense here is that the band is trying to give you a scene and set the stage for you to imagine the things they want you to. We aren't really sure that many people can relate to this, but it will take you away from the stresses of everyday for a bit. We like that. 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 idea of this album. Gentlemen Husbands have given you and album that can help you escape, and have some fun. We aren't personally fawned of the style, but we appreciate it. Solid job on this album, and gives them more to pull from while playing shows. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of them.

Cleopatrick - 14




1. City Kids
2. Chromeo
3. Belly Button Blues
4. Friends


Cleopatrick  have released their debut album titled "14". Their debut gives the band the feeling of an older blues rock band from the 60's. This sound seems to be pretty popular lately in the Canadian music scene right now. The band has a similar sound to that of Queens Of The Stone Age, Kiss or even a Foo Fighters, so if you like any of those bands, you could like this album. They have done a pretty decent job here. The instrumentation on this album is actually pretty good here. You can tell the guys can play well, nothing crazy, but just some good old well played rock and roll Now onto the vocals and the lyrics, the vocals on this album have a coolness to them. You can tell the singer is confident and knows what he is doing. He can certainly sing he shows off his highs pretty well also. good job overall. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs about having that one person who is your kryptonite, standing up for yourself, having people you trust, etc. I don't know how well the listener will relate to all the songs, but we feel that you will find at least one song you get. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't really one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the idea of the album. Cleopatrick have made a debut album that show the sound and style the band is going for, and introduces them to you. They have done a pretty good job here, it's just nothing too unique, which isn't a bad thing to us. We feel the album is decent overall. Give the album a listen to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Gentlemen Husbands - Something Along The Lines Of "A Lesson In Unprofessionalism"

Gentlemen Husbands have released their debut album titled "Something Along The Lines Of "A Lesson In Unprofessionalism." This album is one of those ones where the band has gone for a more small town indie sound with a bit of country added into it. They have a similar sound to that of a Wilco or The Sadies, so if you like those artists, you could possibly like this album. Not a bad job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded pretty decently here. They have a sound that seems to be standing u which is very important. The instrumentation is not bad either, the band can play and there are flashes of ability there, so we will see what they can really do in the future hopefully. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are a little twangy and go with that indie country sound quite well. He is quite clear and he can certainly sing. We think the singer is perfect for the sound and style the band is going for. With the lyrics, the band has gone for messages of what life was like as a new adult, girls, aspirations of life and relationships. This seems to be a little off what a lot of people think of or have going on in their life, but we think at least one song on the album can relate to the average working class folks. 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 idea of the album. Gentlemen Husbands have made an album that hits the average working class, smaller town folks. This isn't really bad or good, but we fell that as they don't have a wide market of people to get into their music, it will be a little harder to succeed. We think they have done a solid job on this album though. Hopefully the band can get out more and get more people to know about them. Good job overall. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

The Go Time have released their debut album titled "All We'll Ever Have Is What We've Got." This album is quite the mix of different genres. It is nice to see a band that is willing to experiment with different genres that haven't really been put together before and have it come out sounding so well. If Forever The Sickest Kids and Down With Webster had a baby and screamed while it happened, this would be the result. So if you like a bit of rap with your pop punk, this could really be something you will like. these guys have really done a great job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded averagely. The album could really use a bit more production on it and the volume needs to be up in the background here, but other than that, it is pretty good. On the instrumentation side of things, the album is pretty average, but it has a lot of elements to it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals on this album are done quite well here with all three different singers have a role that really defines this album. With the lyrics the band seems to have that party style ans talks about that in their lyrics just like Down With Webster do. If you like happy party lyrics and songs about girls, this is going to do well for you. 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. The Go Time have really made a different and unique album here. It mixes a bunch of genres well and keeps it fun. These guys have something here that could really work and bring them up pretty quite. We hope that this band can just get out there and let everyone know about them, start the buzz. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

These Silhouettes - Non-Album Tracks



1. Angels Vs. Plagues
2. Don't Breathe A Word
3. Funeral
4. Glory
5. Here We Go Again
6. Off The Floor
7. Rest Your Head
8. Second Time Around
9. Surrender Your Heart
10. Surrender Your Heart (Techno)
11. This Is For The Best


These are all the songs from These Silhouettes that were recorded and didn't make it onto an album. Now not all of these are in the best recording quality, as they are demos and what have you, but still the tracks that didn't make albums. The song "Angels Vs. Plagues" is an early version of "Surrender Your Heart." This is what the song was called before they changed the name. "Surrender Your Heart (Techno)" is an 8 bit version of the song, and it is done decently. The song "Second Time Around" is the newest track from the band, and it was made with a different lineup then the one who made the EP and all of the other songs. It is a really good track, so definitely give it a listen. These songs give you a look into what These Silhouettes were doing on top of the EP, and the direction the rest of their stuff was going, so listen to it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
