At what age does your feminist anger stop being qualified as "riot grrrl rage"? Kill My Blues,the Corin Tucker Band's sophomore album, is being heralded as the former Sleater-Kinney bandleader's default to her '91 Olympia factory settings. This is a fantastic prospect surely stoking our 1990s nostalgia and wiping the weird taste of her previous album off our palates, but it doesn't quite hold.

Tucker is now a grown-azz, 39-year-old woman, and on Kill My Blues she tackles topics that weren't on her riot girl radar at 20: mortality, the joy of conception, how she could use a vacation. She is singing from the perspective of her life as the mother of two kids who's maybe a little wistful for days when her life was a little more carefree and Joey Ramone was still above ground. Her rage is no more than that of any American who's paying attention in 2012.

If ever a band deserved a good tribute, it is what some people refer to as the "real" LYNYRD SKYNYRD, the band as it existed prior to the 1977 plane crash that killed three of its members.
Most of the performances on this CD - produced by no other than Billy Sherwood - really do justice to the iconic band.

With former Skynyrd members Ed King on slide guitar, Artimus Pyle on drums, and The Original Honkettes (John and Jo Jo Billingsley-White, Leslie Hawkins) on backing vocals, "Double Trouble" musicality is true to the original, and blends well with Thane Shearon's fresh vocal interpretation.
Blackfoot's Rickey Medlocke wrote and did the lead vocal on the original version of "Seasons", one of the Skynyrd's few slow songs. He still does it nicely in this century.
"That Smell" and "What's Your Name" are skillfully interpreted by Canned Heat and Jim Dandy's Black Oak Arkansas, respectively.

NOW!KISS MY...

It all started from an idea between the two basic and original members, Mikki (bass & vocals) and Cioxxx (drums) back in 2005. After several line-up changes, they settled down and Mikki finally took over the vocals as well. What they wanted to do was to play rock & roll with a little bit of garage & punk music without any compromises. Adding elements from The Hellacopters, Gluecifer, Imperial State Electric (mostly), Backyard Babies, Hardcore Superstar, Hanoi Rocks and so on... they started writing their own tunes. With lyrics talking about sex, fun, good time, drugs & girls you can’t bypass the fact that those youngsters wanna party all day long.

NOW!...

If, like West Virginia stoner rockers Karma To Burn, you've got huge guitar riffs and gargantuan grooves on tap, why bow to convention and have a 'whining, posing douche-bag at a microphone' spoiling all your fun? That's exactly what Karma To Burn thought back in 1996 when they were offered a deal with Roadrunner Records. Here were three guys having a ball, knocking out some quite superb uncompromising, bulldozing stoner grooves as an instrumental power trio free of the complications a singer brings to the table. The only problem was that Roadrunner were not having any of it. The deal, and the money, was on the table on the condition they get themselves a singer. The lure of the filthy lucre was too much to resist, so singer Jay Jarosz was recruited and vocals were added to what became their first album, 'Karma To Burn'. Things didn't exactly work out though, so Jarosz was ejected, the band lost the deal and returned to their original incarnation as an instrumental trio.

I'm quite sure most of us have a hard luck story from our childhood, our teenage years certainly; that 'outcast' feeling of being a rock fan definitely applies to most of you who make your way to these cyber pages. Well, imagine then that you had been born in a war torn country in the Middle East, where religious zealots and politicians try and control every aspect of life. Well, that's the fascinating backdrop to which this band, The Kordz, was formed originally whilst the guys were at university in Lebanon in the early nineties.
