Alternative |
Shoegazing rock from the perpetually hyped Northwest favorites attempts to sound smart and inventive, but comes off as unstructured meandering better left as a studio outtake. Do yourself a favor and buy an At The Drive In record instead.

Don’t mean to burst your bubble, but "Hubble" is 7 minutes in …limbo. STS9 will neither elate nor bore you with this innocuous little organica workout. Ho to the hum.

Jazz |
Slick, contemporary jazz fusionist takes trumpet and treads easily into crossover turf with competent, though far-from-inspiring pop fare.

Angelfish |
MP3 |
|
Electronic |
Mind-numbing and repetitious techno-babble is a total bore that plays like a skipping LP left unattended for waaaaaay too long. This is one "Angelfish" you should throw back in.

Alternative |
Glossy power pop nugget pays harmonic homage to the Beach Boys, the Raspberries, and the Replacements. Pretty arrangements compensate for the repetitious lyrics, repetitious lyrics, repetitious lyrics.

Alt-Country |
Twangy gee-tar, honky tonk harmonies, and skid-row story combine for a rootsy little number that would sound right at home following Hank Senior at the Ryman Auditorium.

Electronic |
Peppy like a benny-poppin' beatnik, this jacked-up techno-jazz hybrid will put a spring in your step for sure. Whip off that turtleneck and stomp out that cigarette. It's time to twist, Daddy-o.

Free Speech, Phase 1 - Declaration |
LiquidAudio |
|
Jazz |
Bop-based critics’ darling and bonafide “young lion” of the tenor sax delivers an energetic and stylized number steeped in tradition, yet driven by a seeking spirit. This is the kind of “Free Speech” worth fighting for!

Rap/Hip Hop |
Geeksta rap by math club casualties is a Beastie-esque brain teaser of wacky, self-effacing fun. Study up now, the Professa needs to test your aptitude for ill.

Electronic, R&B |
Upscale, jazzy R&B starts off with an acoustic turn, takes a twist toward the electronic, and renders shades of Sade along the way. Sleek, slick, and sophisticated.
