Modern reconstructions of Elvis to love or hate No doubt some will take to these reconstructions of famous Elvis Presley songs, while others will feel they're bastardizations on par with Ted Turner's colorization of movies. The truth lies somewhere in between. Presley's iconic vocals have been lifted and recontextualized in modern arrangements augmented with new instrumental performances. The results are a great deal more radical than Cirque du Soleil's reconstruction of the Beatles catalog on Love . At times the rhythms will remind you of the monotonous dance floor [...]
Anyone who knows me will tell you I was a definite child of the 802s - but I was a teenager of the 902s. As such, New Yorker JP Corwyn 's music tapped right into the grunge nostalgia left in my system, revived it, had a flannel-fest with Pearl Jam, Live and Collective Soul, then held it wonderfully hostage as I listened to several tracks from his latest release In Plain Sight . Corwyn simply writes fiercely melodic, straight-up, non-pretentious rock and roll dipped in grunge-y goodness, and he does so [...]
ACIDIC – Getting Lucky Precocious. The act of being ahead of one's times, developing early, talented beyond any reasonable explanation for being so damn young. Yep, that pretty much describes this blazing sopomore album from just-ending teenagers, ACIDIC . Forget any preconceived notions you may have about teenage bands before you pop this on your ipod. Yeah, I know, names like The Jonas Brothers or Hanson come to mind --at least my mind-- when I think of real young bands, but trust me that's not what we're dealing with here. [...]
If you were a casual reader of the Ripple Effect, you might think that we were members of Black Bone Child . I mean, simply search the archives and you'll find more column inches devoted to this band than any other that has ever graced the Ripple pages. If we were any less confident in the rollicking, barnstorming brand of modern rock, swampy blues that these cats churn out, we may even begin to wonder if you waveriders could get tired of reading about them. Fortunately, we don't think about it that hard. And [...]
The last time 30 Seconds To Mars hit the BBC's Live Lounge , we surprised even ourselves by having nothing but good things to say about their awesomely moody re-interpretation of Kanye West's "Stronger" . We can't dole out the same high praise on their newest LL cover, a somewhat too -serious rendition of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" that siphons out all of the original's hooky Euro-pop kookiness for some glacial modern rock pacing. But we do dig Jared Leto's disturbing yelped re-writes ("I want your [...]
What were you listening to in 1993? I know I was listening to whatever was floating around the airwaves of California's Inland Empire. Tangent: The Inland Empire is no empire unless you're a meth addict or have an unhealthy appetite for porn. Anyway, odds are I was listening to something from Alice In Chains , Pearl Jam , Soundgarden , Live , Faith No More . . . basically any of the alt rock, grunge, or bizarre metal of the day. I certainly wasn't listening to Syn 's album, Matter of Time [...]
You know we like our genre-bleeders here at Insomnia Radio. Here's one that just graced our inbox from Southern California: Open Hand is your typical modern alt/rock band with stony guitars and a heavy beat. But you can expect to hear playful female vocals, pounding German melodies, and a dollop of rap for good measure in "Honey." (Out April 2010, we'll keep you posted.) They produce progressive music with a wide range of talented artists, collaborating with Matt Talbot from the Illinois rock band Hum and Christopher "Kid" Reid of the hip-hop [...]
world domination enterprises - "i can't live without my radio" (download) World Domination Enterprises were only around from 1984-1989. Their music incorporated "modern" rock, industrial music and dub, and they're probably best known for this poppy cover of the classic LL Cool J hit "I Can't Live Without My Radio". myspace
The concept of the Musical Martyrs series, was to identify albums in a band's cannon that routinely draw the ire or disdain of fans and critics, when in reality, the albums have a tremendous amount to offer. Every band has their bad albums, but that's not what we're writing about. We're writing about albums that stand strong amongst the band's catalog, but for some reason (often a minor fan or critical contrivance) the album is held at arm's length as if my dog had just peed on it. And when it comes to [...]
Fen Head Back to the Studio to Record the Follow-up to their Massively Successful Ripple Debut, "Trails Out of Gloom"
Heavy Planet hailed "Trails Out of Gloom" as one of the "best albums of 2010." Infernal Masquerade proclaimed "Trails" to be one of the "Top 10 Albums of the Year!" Imagine Echoes and Prognaut both raved that "Trails" was on their "Best of" year's end list, and Progressions Magazine gave "Trails" a perfect 16 out of 16 score, gushing that "Trails was "consistently enchanting from start to finish" and called it "Fantastic in every way" as they proceeded to give it their "highest possible rating!" So what does a band do for an encore after accolades [...]

Emerging: Fez
Battersea, UK four-piece indie rock act Fez (maybe not the best name ever, but whatever) mix all sorts of classicist pop elements and the modern jangle of radio-friendly rock acts (Phoenix, Franz Ferdinand, et al. we're looking at you) in composing their pretty excellent EP, Hot Light, out this September. The band, who aren't lead-footed [...]

Introducing Silbermond
I came across Silbermond when I was studying abroad in Germany a few years ago. I watched them perform "Zeit für Optimisten" (meaning "Time for Optimists" in German) on TV when they performed at the Berlin Live 8 Concert and from that moment forward I knew that they were a band to reckon with. Upon first listening to them or even looking at their picture, images of just-another-rock-band fronted by an egotistical diva pop up, but that's definitely not what you get when you first listen to them. Songs like "Zeit" sound similar to [...]
Album Review: It's Alive 'Human Resources'
It's Alive is a very good band. All four members seem like talented musicians and the songs are well crafted. My seventh-grade self would love them, he would have It's Alive posters all over his room and spend his lunch singing their songs with friends in the cafeteria. Luckily for me seventh-grade self grew up and current self is severely disappointed in Human Resources, It's Alive's debut album. It's Alive is a thoroughly modern rock band. Sadly modern rock ceased being modern about ten years ago. It was the era that gave us Linkin Park, [...]

MUSIC NEWS - The video premiere for Manchester Orchestra's second single, " Shake It Out ," will be on MySpace, Columbia Records and Favorite Gentlemen tells us. The video will at MySpace for 48 hours starting on November 6 at 3pm EST. The video is said to be a brilliant homage to 1980's action films (tongue firmly planted in cheek, of course).
