Co-written by Maxwell 'Silver' Hammer The Memorial Day weekend traditionally symbolizes the kick-off of summer for tens of millions in the U.S., even though summer doesn't technically begin until June.

Texas rockers Riverboats Gamblers can consider themselves veterans of the scene by now. As veterans, they have settled into a groove with the release of their latest full length studio album The Wolf You Feed . No longer a groundbreaking act, the group are still churning out energetic punk-infused hard rock. There's an energetic slickness to tracks, like the combination "Good Veins"/"Bite My Tongue" that verges on power pop. The obvious point of reference being prime Face To Face . The blistering guitar and hook of "Soliloquy" only serves to [...]
A chorus of strong female voices top this week's list of new releases, none more promising than that of young London-via-Ontario singer-songwriter Al Spx, a.k.a. Cold Specks , whose head turning debut, as our Music Director, Don Yates, describes, is "a powerful, emotionally moving set of gospel-steeped folk-pop with a dark, hushed sound featuring muted guitars and solemn piano along with occasional strings, horns and choral backing singers accompanying her velvety, deeply soulful vocals and spiritually brooding lyrics." Singer/actress Aleksa Palladino ramps up the intensity with her Devon Church, as Brooklyn duo Exitmusic makes good on the [...]

Alternatively titled, jams we would have been jamming had I been posting more new jams over the past few weeks. The maturation of the Austin, Texas punk outfit, Riverboat Gamblers , shows no signs of slowing on their latest single, "Comedians." The tempo is just a click or two above, mid-tempo and there's a palpable sense of introspection and self-awareness running through the lyrics. What hasn't changed, however, is the force through which Mike Weibe and company deliver their message. The term wall of guitars comes to mind, as does the work of bands like [...]
