Last night, Devo performed their legendary 1978 album, Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, in its entirety (alongside a handful of extra treats). As you might have guessed, the gig was undeniably incredible. TMS Rating: 10/10. Read my Q&A with Devo here. Visit Devo at their official site. Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh recently [...]
Eddie Allen is a busy man these days. Last month I reviewed the veteran jazz trumpeter's new album as the leader of a large band called the Aggregation . That effort was a solid collection of big-band music, and the band was - well - big, with something like 17 members. Now Eddie is fronting a smaller group and joining the current explosion of seasonal music with Jazzy Brass For The Holidays. Eddie also produced the album, which is now out on the DBCD label. As you might expect from the [...]
I owe you guys a ton of reviews this weekend, and since I'm pretty sure this is the one your most interested in, we'll lead off with it: The very image that the mind associates with the words "crooked vultures" should have given excited listeners a clue as to what to expect from the supergroup featuring Dave Grohl, John Paul Jones and Josh Homme. Perhaps everyone was too excited about the names involved to think about that fact. But with the group's self-titled debut, Them Crooked Vultures cut the leash off of [...]

○○○○○ HARDCORE punk band Gallows 's second album Grey Britain , suggested as a possible Album Of The Year on the Facebook page , sees the group adding a splash of colour to their debut album's sound. Don't get me wrong, Watford's Gallows are still the musical equivalent of having acid thrown in your eyes. But where Orchestra Of Wolves was just angry and loud and raucous, Grey Britain has a focus. Lyrical vitriol towards 'broken Britain' is matched by a musical expansiveness - as well as the group's established acerbic [...]
Rita J: Artist Workshop Chicago rapper/singer Rita J releases her debut album, Artist Workshop via All Natural Records. Rita J reminds me of Queen Latifa . The girl is multi-talent; when she raps she commands the track but she also has a very soulful singing voice. She combines both talents on some tracks creating R&B tinged hip hop; on other tracks she lets her raps do the talking. Right from the get-go its apparent that Rita J is bringing something unique to hip hop. The album's opening track, "Introduction" is half rapping [...]

Well, I guess Alice in Chains can't hit a home run every time. The metal-related iPhone apps thus far - or, at least the ones I've seen - have, by and large, sucked. Oddly enough, Metallica, who haven't released too many products worth owning this (or last) decade, have the best ones: their Live Metallica and [...]

There's something about Cincinnati that the members of Phish must love as they keep on coming back to the city for two-night stands. For an example of how good Cincy Phish fans have it, consider that The Queen City has gotten a total of seven Phish shows since Fall '99. During that same span, the only show in the Cleveland area was in Cuyahoga Falls on September 18, 2000. Quite the disparity when you consider Cleveland is the bigger city.

Guess this is the sort of stuff you will find under the tree this Christmas - if you have been bad. I'd rather have a gift card, you know? Anyway - here are some new efforts from Big Superstars who are still trying to get your hard-earned money this holiday season, although you need it way more than they do. Norah Jones has sold a zillion albums but she has really put out only four, and The Fall is certainly her liveliest album to date. She's kinda wanting to [...]
The deal: It's possible that over the past several weeks you've noticed the reviews slow to a trickle around these parts. We had our reasons! Cookies weren't involved! Okay, maybe they were! All of us at Tripwire HQ are pleased to introduce to you today a new chapter in our "take" on music criticism—by handing over the keys. Starting this week and every Tuesday hereafter, we'll be posting a full album stream through our friends over at LaLa. What we'd like you to do is lend us your brainwaves and tweet whatever crosses your mind while [...]
It's been a decade since the original release of the landmark album by this Italian symphonic metal band yet the unbridled power hasn't dulled. Haunting organs and a symphonic dirge wallow behind wailing guitars and a thundering back beat on "The Oak," serving as the foundation for vocalist Cadaveria's evil barks about crucifixion and death. Interspersed in the 10-minute-plus track are hypnotic chants and a somberly melodic vocal bridge. It's a dark formula the band employs throughout the release's six tracks, the longest of which is the 14-minute "My Devotion," a stunningly bleak piece that melds complex folk-metal, melodic doom, [...]
Under The Moss is the very first full-length psytrance release from Lithuania. Compiled by Forest Freaks , it showcases the early experiments of a number of new producers in this young scene. The overall style is generally a mix of darkpsy, forest music, and dark progressive but there is a wide range of other influences at work as well. This compilation has been crafted with care to demonstrate that psychedelic music production in Lithuania is moving forward. http://www.ektoplazm.com/free- music/under-the-moss/ Posted in [...]
It's hard to mention "Endless skies" without making reference to Mangrove 's fellow countrymen The Quill , as some aspects of this album could sit very comfortably on any release by the aforementioned quartet. Just like the genre stalwarts, this Stockholm trio are to be commended for striving to keep their output a bit more inventive by showcasing a hard-rock sensibility while generally remaining within the confines of stoner conventions. It works well in that it offers a good deal more variety than a lot of the third-rate genre bands out there who opt for the [...]
The lofty reputation of Glasgow recording studio Park Lane goes back to the early '80s, when a host of the most exciting new bands on the Scottish scene did some of their earliest work there. The Park Lane Archives compilation could have merely offered well-known cuts by its dazzling client roster, but it does that idea one better by collecting previously unreleased tracks these artists made at the famed studio, including a wealth of demos and alternate versions. So the album performs double duty as a snapshot of the Scottish indie-pop scene of the '80s and a treasure [...]
