First and foremost, I have to thank Mr.B+C for handing this mixtape over to me and putting me on to the lesser known side of California's music. Additionally, we have to respect the influence this mixtape holds. J. Bizness, Dam-Funk, Dibiase and more contributed to this collection of otherworldly charm. All parties involved did not hold back in making Starship 27 a memorable and alluring project. Tracklist x Download Link after the jump +: Starship 27 Promo Videos after the jump also [...]

Ok, I'm sure everyone out there is already familiar with The Clash. It's not like I have anything to add to the oft told story of The Last Angry Band. For many people, the likes of "London Calling", "Rock the Casbah", and "Should I Stay or Should I Go" are enough to keep them happy. Then, there's obsessive fans like myself, that need to get every album (even Cut the Crap ), every b-side, and as many bootlegs as they can come across. And, [...]

First, my obsession at the moment, a song called Long Live the Fallen World. Don't really have anything to say other than listen, it is amazing. Long Live the Fallen World - Young Galaxy Pure catchieness, my favorite part is what i spose is the pre-chorus ("it seemed alright the first time..."). Another fantastic song. Name Tossers - Boat Awesome noise rock, can't really take more than one song of these guys, but in small doses, very good, love the chaotic feel. Awesome band [...]
As much as we have alot of people repping Montreal internationally in alot of music scenes [The Arcade Fire, Malajube, Handsome Furs, Islands, Patrick Watson, Tiga and even … Celine Dion(lol)], our Hip-Hop / R&B / Pop doesn't seem to be getting as much exposure, if not at all. Well the doors have finally been opened, and we can all thanks Montreal-bred artist Leïla for it. Creating a little buzz for herself ever since the release of her self-titled album a couple of months ago. She really got her big break when one of her song appeared on [...]
Here's some good news for the fans of power trio Super 400 . They've got a new album coming out September 15th. Given what I've heard, from it if you're a fan of their past albums, you will not be disappointed. For those who haven't yet heard of Super 400, they're a band out of New York that play straight ahead classic rock. With generous nods to the masters like Zeppelin and Hendrix, but with a modern edge that makes it their own. [...]
Seven years ago today I married my beautiful wife Amy on a sunny day in St. Marys, PA. Seems like we were just kids back then. Even though we were [Totally] in love, it's sometimes hard to believe that she went for it when I popped the [Question] considering I think it was a [Pretty Pathetic] attempt. Still, we had been a couple since 1998 and I hadn't actually been [Chasing Amy] for many years. Anyhow, on our wedding day, when I saw that [Punk Rock Girl] [...]

All this week, guest editor and D.O.A. frontman Joey "Shithead" Keithley looks back on the historic trip and gives a fascinating and uncensored glimpse into [...]

I'll get to the music in a moment. But first, a rant: The last couple of days have been absolutely horrible. First off, i still have no job, and giving the climate of the area, I'm not thinking I'll have one anytime soon. So, having to watch my budget closely, it didn't help when my PC finally gave up the ghost. It had crashed back in November, but I managed to get it up and running again after a few days. This time, that's not [...]

Last year, AWmusic reviewed Bombadil's debut album , A buzz, a buzz , which proved to be a fantastic album with lots of potential. This year, Bombadil , a folk rock band from North Carolina, have come back with an excellent follow-up album: Tarpits and Canyonlands . In this album, the band still manages to keep to their core of quirkiness and fun, with perhaps more of a refinement in the overall production and arrangement of the album. Even the simplest song seems to [...]
