John Evans Music - Hope

John Evans is a well polished artist. You can just hear it in his songs. The song "Hope," is a great uplifting song that has solid guitar, awesome drumming, and strong vocals. This is the type of song you can put the top in your car down, and drive down A1A (I live in Florida), while blasting this song. I can hear another voice in the chorus backing up John, and they sound incredible together.
You really need to check it out. What I really love about guys like John Evans, is that they sound experienced, you can hear their passion in the music that they release.

New Music: Eldebrock - Release Me

Elderbrock's new single Release Me is a wonderful rock ride.
It's a mid tempo song that sounds just as good if not better than anything out today. The vocals of Jay Wegenast and Barrett Moore sound good over wonderful guitar and drums. It is the type of song that will sound good 10 years from now.
If you like solid rock with a touch of grime to them then this is for you.

They also are giving something back. The band started a wonderful campaign. Eldebrock’s World War on Cancer and they have committed to giving one dollar per album (ten cents per song sold) to support the UICC’s fight against cancer.

This is polished band that produces good music that the industry has been missing and they care!

CD Review: Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

The Gorillaz new CD is finally here! I'd love to go through each song, which I literally could and explain every part I love or leave me wanting, but its just too much. 16 tracks people, its huge. I love it! Well worth the wait.
Gorillaz Plastic Beach is a real trip. It is somewhere in between classical, electronic, and jazz. It goes ethnic at points at others you think you are in a rave club. Overall it is a very interesting listen. These musicians are very talented and unique.

The overall theme of the album is what you might deduce from the title: a statement against rampant waste produced by our civilization. Almost every track deals with this issue in its own way. The styles vary from the rap of the second track to the crooning of 2D that we have become very used to in past Gorillaz albums, to some more soulful tracks that bridge the sound between the previous two. The album is exceptionally well constructed.

CD Review: Bon Jovi - The Circle

Bon Jovi is back! I wasn't sure what to expect from this album when I bought it. The album starts with a highly energetic "We weren't meant to follow" and has some really good tracks that follow. I have listened to it a few times now and it feel like they have gone back to their roots with this album after flirting with the Country scene with "Lost Highway". Their sound is still truly unique and I believe it always will be. I think this CD is true to the Bon Jovi vision and incorporates current themes into their music. I must say this, I would classify this more as an "Easy Listening" album than a Rock album.
I guess in their old age they need to tone it down a bit. Still a decent buy!
