Murder Party, Debut EP – Album Review

I am a little late to the party on this one, as this debut EP for Murder Party was released in January, but it is still worth a review, even if it is a bit late. First off, Murder Party consists of Tommy Gun on vocals/guitar, Chubby McCarlson on bass/vocals, and last but not least, Chewie on drums/egg shaker. These Grand Rapids guys are not exactly new to the

Voice of Addiction, Reduce Reuse Resist

I have been, and always will be, a fan of punk rock. The sloppier the better. Although Voice of Addiction is far from sloppy, in fact they are pretty tight. This doesn’t keep me from labeling them my kind of punk! They have a great beat, the kind that makes you want to get up and move your feet, or bob your head. Heck, they may even make you

The Pomegranates @ Founders, Grand Rapids, MI

This was my first time going to Founders for a show.They had a pretty decent setup, though sometimes the vocals got a little lost. And of course, parking was a pain downtown on a Saturday night, but I endured it for the good of the music. I found the other concert-goers to be polite, but not friendly. I arrived in time to see opener Jes Kramer entertain the massive

The Music of Sleep

I have been wondering what music people listen to at night, in bed. At one time in my life I could only sleep when I listened to music and I had certain bands that I could sleep to.

Dee Snider: Dee Does Broadway

What do Clay Aiken, Cyndi Lauper, Patti LuPone and Dee Snider have in common?  Not much, right?

Penelope Houston, On Market Street – CD Review

Published on 6 August 2012 by in Album Reviews

The first thing that stood out to me about this CD jumped out before I even got it into my player! The packaging is made from recyclable materials. The CD was held onto its clever case by a piece of cork too! I love it. All CD’s should come in this type of packaging. It’s magnificent! Down with plastic! Now to the actual music. This is Houston’s 7th studio
