11. Party In Your Basement

Grand:PM have released their debut album titled "Party In Your Basement." This album is one that is very poppy, keyboard driven rock music that really goes well with that tween style of music. This band would be similar to that of a Metro Station or a Faber Drive, so if you like those artists, you could like this album. they have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded not too badly. The instrumentation on this album is quite average, but the band can play. Maybe a little more technique in their songs would really bring up the songs. Now onto the vocals and lyrics on this album. The vocals are not bad, the singer can sing, but they just seem really bland and in the background. His vocals just don't really grab you or bring you in to want to listen. Now with the lyrics, on this album, they seem to be a little on the negative side, with songs about girls and how they are a waste of time, while the song red black seems to take the opposite of the sad girl song by saying he is the jerk. Some of the lyrics could use a little work as they are very typical and just don't quite fit the happy fun  music they are going for. If you are looking for a single to this album, give the song "Red Black" your attention as it is the best song on the album and it gives you a feel of the album. Grand:PM have made a debut album that has some potential here, with some good backbone behind it. With some tweaking and better quality recording, this could possibly work. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Tamara Williamson has released her debut solo album titled "Nightmare On Queen Street." This album is one that seems pretty light and airy. The album gives you a sense of that nice relaxing feel where you don't really have to think too much about the album and just listen. Tamara has done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album could have use a bit more instruments and overall sound in the music to just bring it more together. The instrumentation on this album is pretty average. Now onto the lyrics and vocals. The lyrics on this album are quite good, give you a real meaning to each song, while the vocals fit the style perfectly. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Tamara Williamson has made a pretty good album that is good for listening to on a light, warm, summer day. She has a sound that almost anyone can listen to, but what we are hoping for is that she plays more shows and get more of a band together to make her sound fuller. Good job on the album. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it.

Carmine - Renaissance

1. Famine
2. The Hamptons
3. Larceny
4. Our land, Their Blood
5. Paris & Sicily
6. Renaissance

This album is Carmine's second release titled "Renaissance". This album was an album that never saw the light of day while the band was active, but they decided after they broke up to release it anyways for all their fans. The album is a continuation of their style and sound that they had on their previous album. They have done an okay job on this, and it has a sort of Chelsea Grin, Within The Ruins sound to it, so give it a shot if you like them. When looking at the recording quality of the album, the record needs a little bit more work, but not a lot, and the instrumentation is alright actually. Now looking at the vocals and lyrics, both the vocals and the lyrics could use just a bit of work, with being more meaningful and some clearer screams, but other then that, it sounds alright. If you are looking for a single for this album, there isn't one, as this was released after the band broke up, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. The band was heading in the right direction when they broke up, sad to see them leave, but good thing they gave us one last treat in this album before they forever said goodbuy. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of the album. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Carmine - Trophies

1. Klondyke
2. Fathoms
3. Abecrombie & Douche
4. Paradise Lost

Carmine have released their debut album titled "Trophies" This album starts off with a sinatra into and some shooting, then goes right into full metal mode. When you first put this album on, you get the feeling of the band trying to be tough and make that kind of tough guy Emmure metal, but it just turns out not working for this band. The band needs to get a little better recording, as this sounds a little too quiet and rough. A bit more on the recording would do wonders for this band, and having the guitar louder would also help. Something else the band could do is cut down on the gang vocals, there just seems to be way too much of it. Now these 4 songs seem to need a lot of work. and therefore it doesn't seem right to tell you to give these songs a listen. Every song here just seems to have a douche quality to them and be generic bad metal. the suggestion here is to check them out at  your own discretion and form your own opinion. This band has since broken up (R.I.P.)

To Cherish - In Sickness & In Health

1. XII.XXI.XII
2. Wives & Widows
3. To The Grave
4. In Sickness
5. In Health
6. Purgatory

To Cherish made their first EP in a very similar style to another bigger band, Dead And Divine. You can hear the influence and style similarities in they music. I'm not saying this is a bad album, it is very good, just both bands are similar. Sadly the band have called it quits (R.I.P.)

To Cherish - More To Life

1. No Chance In Hell
2. In Our Hands
3. Crying Out
4. My Declaration
5. This Life

To Cherish have released their debut album titled "More To Life." This album is one that really hits that screamo and hardcore genre quite well. It has a very hard and heavy feel to it. This album has a similar sound to that of a Blind Witness or a Norma Jean, so if you like those bands, you could really like this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has been recorded to an okay standard. This album could really use some work and a bit of a better recording to it. The albums instrumentation isn't too bad though as the guys can play. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are pretty good here, they have a nice scream to them while still being clear and able to make out the words. With the lyrics, they seem to have a very harsh tone to them that really seems like the band is in a down place that people do understand and relate to. These are pretty common screamo lyrics. 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. To Cherish have made a debut sort of welcome to album that really shows what they are capable of and the direction they want to take their music. Hopefully with a little better recording we can really see what this band is up to. Looking forward to it. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
