Enter Ghost - Murettes



1. Semi-Formal
2. Let's Talk Relationships!
3. Fireworks
4. Kitchen Knife In The Bathroom
5. Haunted Mansion
6. Fire In The City


Enter Ghost have released their debut album titled "Murettes". This album is one that shows the band in a very screamo way with some synth parts here and there. Although being a little rough, you can tell the band is really has a good start. They have a similar sound to that of Drop Dead Gorgeous and Greely Estates, so if you liked those bands, you could really like this album. They have done an alright job on this album. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album has a bunch of work it could use. We do understand that quality has gone up but this really needs a better recording to get the max from it. The instrumentation isn't too bad, the band can play but they are not going to make you jump out of y our seat with it. Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals need a little work on both the singing and the screaming, but being a first album, it's what you expect. With a little work, both could do a great job, but right now it's just to k now what they are like. With the lyrics, the band could use some work there too, they have gone for more of a metal feel in the lyrics by just singing more angry attention getters than meaningful lyrics. This does still hold a place and is nice from time to time. 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. Enter Ghost have made a debut album that has its faults and could use some work, but it is still a good start for this band. Now they just need to get out there and be heard. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think of it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

To Tell The Tale - Raise Your Glass



1. Taking Steps
2. In Our Place
3. Folds Hands Over Face
4. Never-Ending Drive
5. Hearts So Pure
6. Into The Waterfall

To Tell The Tale want you to raise your glass and make a toast to pop punk. The album has a very pop feel to its pop punk but it seems to be done pretty well here like a These Kids Wear Crowns type of band. Now when it comes to the recording of the album, its done alright, but it could use just a touch here and there to put it over the top. Onto the music, the music is decent but it doesn't really wow you that much, the guys can play though. Lyrics are a bit better then average here too. If you want a song to listen to, give the song "In Our Place" a listen. This song is a faster pop punk jam that has decent guitar work in it and pretty good vocals. On the hole, their preparation of this album is very good and they have something that with a tweak here and there, could really give them something good. Give this album a listen. They have since called it quits. (R.I.P.)

Hello Beautiful - Soundtrack For Scenario



1. Asphalt Ambulance
2. Saint Andrew's Bridge
3. Virginia Symphony
4. Around The River (Hey You)
5. Say Hey!
6. Toxic In The City
7. Words
8. Wake Up
9. Broken Picture Frames
10. Boombox Generation
11. Princess Oklahoma
12. We Are
13. Piano Outro


Hello Beautiful have made an album that mixes rock and hip hop beautifully. They have one guy who sings everything and then another who puts the hip hop twist onto it. The content of the songs is also very powerful, and they sing about things like how to treat girls and that. The single "Virginia Symphony" is a very catchy song with good lyrics and tops the album off. All in all this band is very unique and good at what they do. So give this band a listen right now, you won't regret it.

Bury The Bully's debut full length album is one that packs a lot of rock power for a band that is not very well known. These guys have the potential off this album to make the jump to the big time right away. They seem to have it all, very pop rocky, but something that everyone can enjoy. They really did well when making this album. This band has since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Heartless - Heartless



1. Sinatra
2. Atlas
3. Deadtime
4. In Cadences (Interlude)
5. Hostility
6. Bottomfeeder


Heartless is a band that goes all out. These guys love to play an aggressive, hard, in your face kind of hardcore, in the style of The Chariot. When you listen to them, you can hear The Chariot's influence all over it. They are a pretty good band and one you need to listen to, but if you know and don't like The Chariot, you may not have as much interest in these guys. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Hotel Royal - Hotel Royal EP



1. Wasted Youth
2. Bang Bang
3. She Don't Mind
4. Are You In It For The Money?
5. Sleepless


Hotel Royal's debut EP is one that showcases the older side of the rock genre. These guys seem to have the appeal of an older audience and sound generated for the less extreme concert goer. They do kind of have a funky sound that makes them stand out a little bit on this album, but nothing to left field about it. These guys are your typical bar band, but if they decide to evolve with their music, I think they could break past that. For what it is, it's not a bad album.

Genre: Rock/Classic Rock/Alternative

2. Let's Not And Say We Didn't

4. Tweaking Out
5. More Than


Hometown Beatdown's EP is one that shows what you can still do, with a little auto tune on some pop vocals. Oddly enough, this works and hits you like a guilty pleasure. So come get your guilty pleasures out and listen to this "cool" album. He has since called it quits (R.I.P.)
