A stylish fusion of new contemporary jazz grooves -Black Sand Diva takes its name from the songwriting of well known vocalist & Piha based songstress Cat Tunks from Auckland's Wild west coast – and swings open the pantry of musical blends, a teaspoon of latin, a pinch of funk, reggae, and soul -and mixes it all up with a generous tablespoon of swing influenced style.
Black Sand Diva"Chameleon" will leave you feeling inspired as the original repertoire of sensual and strong songs weave a musical story - from a songwriter with the heart of a Gypsy

Adam Svec - Enemy Swimmer

As singer/songwriter for The Glad Version, Adam Svec is familiar with the construction of a pop song. In contrast with The Glad Version’s full bodied production, Svec’s Enemy Swimmer is a deliberate attempt to hold back the studio reins and stick to the basics. While dealing with his childhood, relationships, and anxieties, Svec lets his voice and the simplicity of the song structure do the storytelling. Engineer extraordinaire Tor Johnson builds beautiful soundscapes behind the skeletons of Svecs’ tracks that span from the loneliness of a solo acoustic guitar to the comforting full arrangement of an air organ, a muted banjo, a wurlitzer, and a box filled with bells. Enemy Swimmer is recommended if you like John Vanderslice, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sufjan Stevens.

In their DVD, "Let Go of the Wires", the band discussed plans for their next album. The album was to be titled "Glaciers". The band later announced that this would not be the title of their new album. However the explanation for Glaciers is being that with the concept of a glacier, there is always more than meets the eye. Though "iceberg" would be the correct word to fill this idea, "glaciers" could be used in relevance. They also revealed that the album will contain more serious lyrical themes than those of "Wires...and the Concept of Breathing".
On January 8 2009, the band announced, via a Myspace Bulletin, that they were now a part of Fearless Records and to expect a new album release sometime in 2009. They also announced tour dates with Dance Gavin Dance.
On May 26th, A Skylit Drive released a new song, entitled "Those Cannons Could Sink a Ship" onto iTunes and also for play on their MySpace page. The song is the first of their new album to be released on iTunes.
A Skylit Drive is also doing some shows with Escape The Fate, Madina Lake.
Adelphia, peaked at number 64 on the Billboard 200.

Hailing from the industrial wastelands of Manchester (UK), gutter rock n rollers Dear Superstar combine their passion for 80’s hard rock with the power and bile of modern metal.
Riding their unscrupulous and depraved rollercoaster into sold out venues across the UK and Europe, Dear Superstar have destroyed stages supporting the likes of Papa Roach, Buckcherry, Bullet For My Valentine, Hanoi Rocks and Wednesday13 – helping to build their foundations as the UK’s brightest hope for lecherous Rock N Roll.

With their unquenchable thirst for life on the road, Dear Superstar recorded their album “Heartless” with producer Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral For A Friend, Bullet for my Valentine, The Blackout, Kids in Glass Houses) to document years of touring and a graphic confession of the band's lifestyle of unbridled mayhem. This sparked a unique relationship with legendary rock independent label Demolition/DR2 Records who went on to release the album in October 2008!
Dear Superstar burst straight back onto the live circuit in 2009 supporting Papa Roach and after wowing crowds on the sold-out tour, were quickly confirmed to appear at the iconic Download Festival 2009. With "Heartless" now available in all major record stores and a relentless touring schedule the UK’s premier rock n roll disasters are taking no prisoners!

We’ve been readers of the music blog scene for years now. We were reading music blogs before everyone had a music blog, and our own music blog wasn’t so much as an iota of thought several years ago. Although our blog is young, we were there to see the rise of Pitchfork and its effect on the scene. We were around when Chris began gorillavsbear and Brian’s been reading Aquarium Drunkard religiously since that site began pumping out MP3’s from Los Angeles. We’re acutely aware of the purposes of online music websites, but this also makes us unfortunately knowledgeable about their drawbacks, too. We dislike the rating system of music reviews, and we’re even more averse to bashing albums. If you’ve been a regular reader of our site, you’ll see that we’ve been churning out full-length album reviews at a rate damn near impossible for three busy writers that have taxing day jobs. With all of the writing and reviewing we’ve done, we’ve yet to bash an album and we’re extremely proud of that here. If an album makes it onto our site, we feel it’s worthy of extensive review and purchase. Consider it our stamp of approval. We get inundated with really bad music daily and we choose to post the best of the best. We “unpack our bags” about why we think albums are good and don’t waste our energy and intelligence on albums that are sub-par. Pitchfork has created an empire both lifting bands out of obscurity but also shattering dreams. That’s not our style here. We can write like those guys, but you won’t find the rants around here.

The central problem, however, is based around an article I read last week about how music blogs serve to rave bands that really aren’t very good and discuss mediocrity as if it was the next Neutral Milk Hotel or Radiohead. This draws my ire big time. The sheer nature of our enterprise here at Citizen Dick is to write about good music and leave the bad music completely out of the equation. If our central job is to become a PR agency for shitty music, we’ve certainly lost brain cells at some point and have lapsed into a completely inconsequential hobby. This idea that the music that bloggers post is overhyped is ludicrous, and certainly doesn’t apply to my reviewing and online writing. I want to smash my Macbook over someone’s head every time I hear this sentiment. The fact remains that noteworthy emerging music deserves discussion, and for every great album that “makes it” there are another fifty excellent records that barely sell enough to warrant enough dough for a second release. We feel our job here is crucially important, and that somebody has to review great records positively and without needless bashing. Some albums you don’t know about are amazing, and we’re here to explain that. This new WAND album coming out on May 19th is one of those albums we sincerely hope you’ll put your ears to in 2009.

James Jackson Toth is a dude I can get into immediately. Formerly known as Wooden Wand, Toth has decided to change things around a bit moniker-wise but the brilliantly simple and dark country blues balladry he’s been known for is still front and center. “Hard Knox” is a 14 track wordy escapade that wickedly haunts you from beginning to end, and the collection of rare B-sides, home recorded tracks, and rarities is so good we can stamp it as excellent immediately. I’ve played the record in its entirety in excess of fifty times since I received it last week, and there isn’t a record in 2009 I’ve given this much attention to. It’s filled with lyrical mastery and ear-pleasing tone. It’s rough and edgy but beautifully transcendent at the same time. The tracks hold up well individually but also mesh together to give you a great inside look at Toth’s muse; It’s heartache and contemplation that drive this thing, and if you’re not listening to “Arriving” as you’re reading, please do that now.

It doesn’t take too long to fall into the album’s tone, as “Arriving” is a dark, dark song with amazingly poetic word-puzzles and imagery about a girl with thick skin. Toth chooses the poetic concept of cataloging, where tone-drenched images are listed with very little explanation. Quips of lyrical brilliance punch you in the face from the first note of this track to the last. Brooding imagery of serpents, decay, worms, fruit, is so well-placed in the track. It’s somewhat narrative, as the evil woman finally reveals, or “arrives” at the end and her ill motives are laid bare. The song rules and Toth’s decision to start with it is wise, as it sets pace and draws the audience completely in.

As mentioned, the poetic structure of this album is loud and clear. Toth knows what he’s doing and he’s incredibly intelligent. “Eyes” may be the best track on the album, and some of the lyrical business is superb. Flying aces, crosshair bows, fugitive liquor, solid snow. Alien strangers, first through seventh row. Images erupt from the song like dandelions in your yard and stick in your craw long afterward. Tracks like “Saturday Delivery” and “Lady of Situation” are more overtly positive and uplifting in their musical arangement, but nearly every track focuses on both the good and bad of our existence. Toth pines in many of these songs about how it’s impossible to go backward and erase the past but the past must be fully embraced to move forward. It might be too late to settle bets beneath the ocean. The dawn awaits.” Warm tones, beautiful acoustic arrangements and pleasing vocals are the standards here.

Toth’s gravelly and hardened vocals are a major reason for this album’s greatness. “Blamelessness” is an edgy and low-fi track where his vocals become deeply ingrained and seared in. Likewise, in “Chrome” Toth makes a simple amplified guitar in a basement sound brilliant. His melodic vocals and well placed double-harmonies bring blues, country, poetry, and edgy alternative vibes to listeners. If there’s any specific track where everything balls into one, it’s “Soldier Movies” at the album’s close. Endearing and softly yearning, Toth emits an aura that’s impossible to forget. The closing track is significant because it brings home the ideal emotional conflict of the entire album. Toth is obviously reminiscing about a rocky past, but seems completely okay with it. There’s a comfort to his lyricism and imagery.

There are 14 tracks on the record to wrap your brain around, and I’ll emphatically state that each one of them exhibits its own unique style and value. This isn’t an album to be missed this year, and to fully let Toth and WAND into your arsenal, you’ve got to spin the whole thing repeatedly. We’re confident this will be a mainstay for you, as it has already become one for me. Enjoy “Arriving” for free and pick this up on release day.

"There's some kind of crazy connection between Michigan and Florida, enough so that the proposed bullet-train / flume ride linking the two states starts to make a hell of a lot of sense, especially when you consider the twenty-some-odd trips to Gainesville NORTH LINCOLN has made from Grand Rapids over the last five years. Between recording two albums and a demo here playing five Fests, and touring in general, maybe they should invest in a time-share or foster a band-exchange program?

The eleven songs on "Midwestern Blood" are the culmination of a two-year recording and mixing process. Rob McGregor once again captured the noise at Goldentone Studio, with Derron Nuhfer mixing the beast at Crescendo Sound The trade off captured the best of both worlds. The band took their straight forward, gruff mix of anthemic punk and raspy rock and extended the formula to include instrumental stretches and more space to breathe. Maybe it was too many hours spent listening to Drive Like Jehu? Maybe it was something in the water... or the snow? Whatever it was, we can all hope that they drink deep and forge ahead, striking the delicate balance between record-nerd and music-geek. (Insert college football reference here.)" - Var / No Idea

A few years ago, somebody coined the term "Midwestern beer- belly despair rock" to describe a handful of bands emanating from the greater Illinois/Michigan era, and the moniker couldn't be more aptly fitting for North Lincoln. Hailing from the reeling metropolis of Grand Rapids, deeply rooted in a community that rode the post-industrial wave of collapse and still struggles to keep its head above water, North Lincoln embodies a newer wave of working-class punk rock that ditches the anthemic trappings of Boston and New York and instead builds on the melancholy hymns of luminaries like JAWBREAKER and LEATHERFACE. They've added a healthy dash of HOT WATER MUSIC's hoarsely-shouted defiance to craft their own niche - desperate without implying resignation, helpless without feeling hopeless, downhearted but never defeated. It's furious mid-tempo rock heavily steeped in distorted minor chords, all tied together by lyrics that scrutinize the turbulent personal and social relationships found in their community and, more likely than not, mirrored in our own

After 3 years of touring and a very well-received demo, Poison My Blood recorded their first album 'Monuments' at the Rape Of Harmonies studios (Heaven Shall Burn, Misery Speaks, ...) in Germany. Their metal-influenced hardcore has now taken a more melodic and progressive turn and today can be compared to bands like Shai Hulud, Twelve Tribes or Misery Signals.

This five piece is full of ambition and motivation, resulting in steaming and energetic shows. No matter the location, circumstances or whatever: Poison My Blood will go to the fullest. The band is their way to escape from everyday life and do something where they will put their heart and soul in, which results in a very charismatic live show.

So far the band has played and toured in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Germany and the United Kingdom.They have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with bands such as Norma Jean, The Chariot, Silverstein, Bane, Strike Anywhere, Horse The Band, The Warriors, Ligeia, Cold As Life, The Banner, Architects, For The Fallen Dreams, Salt The Wound, Machinemade God, Born From Pain and many more!

This Swiss 3-Piece shows us Brilliant Female Pop melodic vocals over fiercely heavy metal riffs, this is certainly it's own thing. Check out the samples!

69 Chambers are heavy riffing guitars counterpointed by Nina Treml’s pop-oriented vocals, while Maddy Madarasz’ driving bass and Diego Rapacchietti's blasting drums form a tight and solid wall of sound. The Swiss rock/metal three piece was formed by the guitar-playing frontlady (Nina) in 2001 and soon made a loud impact at the «Universal Breakthru Contest», recorded an EP as well as a video and gave their international debut at the «Pentaport Festival» in Incheon, South Korea amongst reknowned bands like «Muse» and «Testament». After experiencing the unfreedom in the «Land Of The Free» for some time, Nina returned to Switzerland with 13 powerful songs to record the debut album: an uncompromising work full of contradictions and unique melodies. 69 Chambers’ «War On The Inside» will be released on April 24th, 2009 worldwide under the label Silverwolf Productions.

The debut album "War On The Inside" from the rock-/metal-trio "69 Chambers" with frontwoman Nina Treml on guitar and vocals, bass player Maddy Madarasz and drummer Michi Brugger, was produced by Tommy Vetterli (Coroner, Kreator). It’s a high-quality production with a powerful sound, heavy dropped guitars and unique vocals that sing unusual yet catchy melodies. The musical influences seem clear, but you can’t really compare "69 Chambers" with any other band.

The music is unabashedly pop, in that it's full of catchy, hook-filled melodies and vocal harmonies. But there's plenty of rockin' power in the driving guitars, chugging bass lines, and pounding drums.
BPK got his start back in the North Carolina/Athens, GA "janglepop" scene of the mid 1980s, what is now recognized as a golden age of Southern powerpop. The songs and style of that era still influence him today but there are plenty of references from the past two decades in his music!
Here's what folks have had to say about "Ice Cold Pop," the latest album from BPK:
- "Pulls out all the stops and highlights a special light side of pop that most reminds me of early Shoes. Old school, good school. VERY highy recommended!" (Not Lame, May 15, 2009)
- "The tracks here are full of rich effortless hooks... this one is worth the effort to track down and listen to"

The Humbugs - On The Up Side

"On The Up Side" is the fourth release from the Minneapolis quintet The Humbugs. It follows their debut EP "Hey That's My Bike" and the critically acclaimed "Stereo Types" and "Twist The Truth." "On The Up Side" took The Humbugs back to The Terrarium, one of Minneapolis’ premier recording facilities with producer Jacques Wait(Semisonic, The Soviettes}. The bands' goal to make a completely cohesive album intertwining 60's pop with early 80's new wave. The result was eleven tight, concise musical nuggets that strive to take you away to a sugary pop wonderland. Of course "On The Up Side" has the signature layered vocals, jangly guitars, and the ultra tight rhythm section. Since "Stereo Types", The Humbugs have toured from NYC to Chicago to San Francisco and many places in between. They will be heading back to Chicago for their 9th consecutive appearance at the International Pop Overthrow Music Festival in April.

The Sounds are a Swedish New Wave band founded in 1999 in Helsingborg. Their musical style mixes punk and pop/Synth-pop influences. Most songs make integrated use of synthesizers. The group is often compared to New Wave acts such as Blondie, The Cars, the Epoxies and Missing Persons.

Lead singer Maja Ivarsson is outspoken in her ambition, claiming "I want to be the best female vocalist around...of at least this century". She was also featured on Cobra Starship's "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)", for the film Snakes on a Plane. In addition to Ivarsson's contribution to the Snakes soundtrack, the entire band is featured as track 6, "Queen of Apology," remixed by Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump.

Band members Jesper Anderberg and Felix Rodriguez have recently been working as songwriters for other artists, among them the Dutch pop band Krezip and the Swedish punk band Quit Your Dayjob.

For Krezip's latest album (Plug it In), the pair wrote three songs: "All My Life", "Play This Game With Me" and "You're Wrong". "All My Life" has been one of the most played songs of 2008 in Holland. Krezip's album Plug It In was also produced by Adel Dahdal, who produced the The Sounds' debut album Living in America.

Brindisi Paradiso - Unexpected Tucano

乐队名称：Brindisi Paradiso
专辑名称：Unexpected Tucano
风格类型：Electronica/Down-tempo/Experimental
发行日期：2009.05.27

Nato da una fruttuosa jam session ad Amsterdam tra l’eclettico artista e dj Marco Foresta e il compositore e sound designer Enrico Ascoli, Brindisi Paradiso è arrivato al suo primo album, Unexpected Tucano. Il progetto conserva e mantiene intatta la caratteristica iniziale: una forte spontaneità musicale e la combinazione di diversi generi musicali. Jazz, tango, funk, hip hop, glitch, folk music. Il loro primo album, Unexpected Tucano, è un mix di improvvisazione e minuzioso editing. Tutte le tracce sono aperte ad ogni possibile cambiamento, a nuove idee, nuovi paesaggi e soluzioni. Le sonorità risalgono ai suoni catturati dalla vita reale, di tutti i giorni, con un tocco di espressione poetica, ritmi sensuali e visuali aperte a mondi nuovi e paralleli. Una nuova scoperta di una musica “esotica” e ricercata.

- Feel This Way - "How you feel, use that feeling to the most beautiful songs to write .." Jupiter late in 'Feel This Way "show that they know what is at stake to write songs. The songs are open, honest and as pure as chocolate. This one time you have a lump in your throat, while even later that broad smile on your face is available. Jupiter takes you down slowly, and then not releasing it.
