Despite the fact that long as life shall separate us from Timo Rautiainen is the fourth solo album, so even the disc will be sure to compare the neck shot at the time. Of course, this is not surprising, because after all, Trio heavier by far one of the most important influences in the Finnish music. Parables are guaranteed for as long as Timo boards publish either solo or as a head shot, so I do not do yourself any of the exceptions.

Previous solo albums none of his own yardstick, received grade excellent, but every solo album since then has been somewhat contradictory feeling. Each disk has had its climax, but also has its own downs, and sometimes even those steep. The fourth sector, however, goes even further and can be lethally immediately to the top to say that Till death do us part is by far the very Rautiainen, "a solo album."

Warhorses in more ways than one is an extraordinary phenomenon in the local music scene. The seemingly pre-programmed suicide by switching from Hip Hop for diametrically guitar genre they bomb casually with fat charts quotations henceforth. This sold-out arenas and a fan base, as they had been since the Cretaceous go. Their second album "En Garde" to this success is certainly still increase

Reeling from the success he garnered from his last EP “Always You” and the single of the same name, he hit the studio with producer Larry Marciano at the helm, to create a truly powerful rock album that magnifies Addison’s talent for rock arrangements. Addison returned to the studio with the same team from his previous go-round. Christine Wu (Justin Timberlake/Usher) and Ryan Hoyle (Collective Soul), as well as newcomers, vocalist’s Adam Brooks (of TV’s “The Lying Game” and the band The Good Mad) and Vanessa Bryan each exhibit exceptional contributions.

Hailing from Springfield, Massachusetts, Doug Ratner & the Watchmen's main claim to fame is getting banned from a popular TV show, Mass Appeal, in their hometown, for their song Bomb in the Backseat. It appears the show neither listened to the song nor understood it's meaning. They only heard the references to bombs and explosions. O well.Ratner and company play a blend of classic guitar rock with some modern alt references. Here's the skinny on their debut EP Lessons Well Learned. First, if you give it more than a few spins, it will grow on you. But the significant songs are three.

Seven Kingdoms commitment to melodic power metal continues on their third release, The Fire Is Mine. Led by the clear and passionate vocals of Sabrina Valentine's vocals, Seven Kingdom effortlessly combines speed and heaviness with melody to invigorate the American power metal genre.

There's little more to be said about Valentine's vocal prowess that wasn't said in my review of 2010'sSeven Kingdoms. She remains the classic female metal vocalist, singing clean and strong, but also avoiding the extremes of outrageously operatic or gruesome growling. (It appears, overall, that the band has abandoned the growling found briefly in their last release.)

Long Island based Como Brothers seem a little conflicted on their new EP, The Speed of Sound. Sandwiched between the positive chick songs You Are My World and Can I Be Matched With You is a nearly vitriolic rant against an unfortunate gal, I Don't Like You.

I'm hoping, maybe, that first song is about one of the brother's pet dog or infant daughter, and the last about online dating services, as one Como bro seems pretty pissed about some chick. Otherwise, The Como Brothers Band is about some very good music. It has a foundation of classic melodic rock, with a touch of blues, and enough alt-indie edge to make the hipsters take notice. It's nearly raw,

With every new album from The Birthday Massacre, we see a band that has created not only its own distinct niche in the musical landscape, but also seems to have created its own world. This time, we play Hide and Seek in that world. The new album from The Birthday Massacre opens with rain, and ends with the sounds of waves; in between we are given songs of lost girls, lost love, lost time. The delicate interplay between Chibi’s vocals and the ambiance created by Rainbow, M. Falcore, Rhim, Owen & Nate is on full display. Dark new wave hooks and haunting synths turn sinister as Rainbow and Falcore’s guitars lead Hide and Seek into ever darker, ever more beautiful corners of The Birthday Massacre’s world.

Returning from a long winter’s nap is ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne. His newest album, Long Wave, to be released October 9^th is a collection of songs, most predating the rock and roll era. Lynne was captivated by these tunes as a child and has put his own spin on them, making them a true blast from the past with ELO sprinkles on top!This album is a testament to Lynne’s musical genius. Who would ever think of making pop rock versions of “Love is a Many Splendored Thing” or “”Smile”?What makes this so wonderful is that is works – everything Jeff does works. And he did it all himself, he plays and sings everything.

Five years ago Dutch progressive rock band Nem-Q independently released their debut album, "Opportunities Of Tomorrow". It showed a band in pursuit of the right direction. The guys knew how to handle their instruments, but their songs sounded a bit too flat and monotonous to hold my attention from start to finish. We're now five years further and Nem-Q has just released a sophomore album, strangely called "301.81". To cut a long story short: this concept album is certainly better, thanks to playing a lot of gigs and shaping their sound along the way. Released by RVPrecords and produced by newcomer Twan Bakker (who replaces Paul van Limbeek), "301.81" tells 'the story of Adrian's dreams, delusions, rise, aggressive outbursts and inevitable incarnation'. So, not only do these guys have an interesting story to tell, they also succeeded to pack it up in songs, that sound a lot more diverse than on their debut. Although the theme of the album is a bit heavy, the music is easy digestible and as such it could appeal to a wide audience. One to check Dout
