A secret supergroup of sorts, now best-known for once containing two-thirds of what would become Primus (those being guitarist Larry La Londe & bassist Les Claypool), San Francisco's Blind Illusion had been active in one shape or another for nearly a decade before issuing their lone album, Sane Asylum, in 1988. &, given the band's long history, one can better understand why their music certainly drank from the local scene's then-prevalent thrash metal fountain (see finger-bleeding workouts li ...

Even in the blues, a style capable of wrenching unexplainable emotions from its audience, Blind Willie Johnson has few equals. With a voice capable of alternating effortlessly between sublime, trembling tenor & the sound of pure gravel, & unparalleled skill with the bottleneck (and knife), Johnson recorded 30 sides for Columbia (1927-1930) that stand as a high-water mark for both country blues & raw gospel. Given the fact that his entire output has been issued by both Yazoo & Columbia, i ...

No one less than Bob Dylan penned the lyric that stated, nobody can sing the blues, like Blind Willie Mc Tell. Mc Tell's '20s & '30s work reminds one slightly of Robert Johnson's work in the '30s, with notable differences. While Mc Tell has the same dexterity as a guitarist, combining single-note runs with rhythmic aplomb, his singing is never as shrill or as tortured as Johnson. Still, it's easy to imagine that Johnson might have picked up something in timing & delivery from " Death Cell Blue ...

It's almost a given that the story of Blink-182 is already familiar to most fans of current rock music. The scrappy pop-punk band forms in suburban San Diego in 1993, releases their debut album Cheshire Cat on a local label & four albums, countless stages & several million albums later, ends up as one of the world's most wanted, most recognized & most emulated pop-punk acts. The mere shift in environment is one of the many foreshadowing elements in Blink-182's latest, most challenging en ...

On their 1997 release, Dude Ranch, juvenile hardcore-pop band Blink 182 tickled the funny bone with an assortment of dumb sex jokes, off-color artwork, & between-song skits, including one of a dog drinking from a freshly peed in toilet. So, two years down the road, have the band matured at all? One look at the cover of Enema of the State, which features cover art of a tarted-up blonde nurse donning a rubber glove, provides the easy answer. Fortunately, Enema supports the humor with strong musi ...

* Furr is the fourth record by Portland sextet Blitzen Trapper & the follow-up to last year's highly acclaimed Wild Mountain Nation.* Written in the gaps of the group's frenetic touring schedule & recorded mostly in an old telegraph building close by the Willamette river, the new record refines & expands on the far-ranging yet distinctive songcraft that lies at the heart of Blitzen Trapper's unique appeal.* Critics & fans have compared their music to just about everything; there ...

With its second full-length studio album, A WEEKEND IN THE CITY, Bloc Party seems undaunted in following up its highly acclaimed debut, SILENT ALARM, assuredly presenting another shimmering set of heady, well-honed British rock. While the band's calling cards--alternately angular & chiming guitar lines, frontman Kele Okereke's plaintive vocals, & drummer Matt Tong's precise rhythms--are fully on display, WEEKEND features the London-based quartet in a more muscular mode, a point easily hit ho ...

However, the band does find subtle ways to tweak & channel that angst: " Biko" (not the Peter Gabriel song) is dedicated to Kele Okereke's "sweetheart the melancholic, but when he sings that you've got to toughen up, he sings it to himself as much as his lost love, & as the song closes with a swell of backing vocals, it's clear that he's singing about more than something between two people. The band captures post-breakup obsession masterfully on the frosty yet strangely hopeful Signs, wh ...

Bloc Party alerted fans to Intimacy's existence, as well as their ability to purchase the record instantly, when they hosted their fi rst-ever web chat on August 18th. The album follows on from the release of their hit single Mercury released on the 11th August. The album produced by Paul Epworth (Silent Alarm) & Jacknife Lee (A Weekend in the City) was recorded in Kent & London & mixed by Alan Moulder. Some songs are Bloc Party at their most wildly experimental, while other tracks are sim ...

U.K. edition. On this immensely appealing debut, SILENT ALARM, the London-based quartet Bloc Party fulfills the promise of their barnstorming 2004 singles " Banquet" & " She's Hearing Voices." Led by magnetic frontman Kele Okereke, the band extracts the most fascinating aspects of the previous 25 years of British indie rock & fuses them into a new entity--complete with smarts & heart--never delving into retro-kitsch or slavish imitation. Okerere's urgent yelp most often recalls a fired-up in ...
