Crime In Stereo releases never published songs
October 12th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
I’ve been following Crime In Stereo from day one just about and I’ve always enjoyed their refreshing sound which mixes many musical elements but keeps the punk rock aggression in their sound. The latest record release “Selective Wreckage” has been available since September 30th, 2008 and watch out for them touring ther US and England with hopefully more dates following soon!

Here’s what their record label “Bridge Nine” has to say about Crime in Strereo:
Crime In Stereo’s 2007 genre-defying album Crime In Stereo Is Dead was a huge step forward from 2006’s punk outburst The Troubled Stateside. Selective Wreckage isn’t so much of a b-sides collection as it is a collection of unreleased songs that document the band’s evolution from the 2005 recording sessions for Stateside and 2007’s Is Dead. Featuring the often rumored, but never released split EP with Capital, and songs from many recording session, this is a 10 song statement to Crime In Stereo’s talent and diversity and only begs the question-what will come when the band releases a new album in 2009.
Dennys Restaurant Rockstars Menu

You have to keep the marketing machinery going to attract people to your shop, restaurant, products etc. to keep the business going. Rock bands have huge followings and kids like to follow what they get up to so how about this:
Dennys restaurant invited Taking Back Sunday, The All-American Rejects, the Plain White T’s and the Eagles of Death Metal to take over their kitchen to create a late night meal. Now you can pig out from 10 in the evening til 5 in the morning and think you are being all rock n roll. Hmmm, not too sure about this but I di have to admit: every time I’m in the States I stop by Denny’s.

Featured Band on Europeskate: MJ13
September 3rd, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Coming home after a pretty strange day at work and some not-too-cool things happening, I wanted nothing more then to listen to some loud music which in some way expressed my…frustration I guess is the word I am looking for right now. Yeah, something to let go off that ever so slightly pissed off feeling that is creeping through my mind right now.
Nothing better then checking out some music websites and I came across a quite different and expressive sounding band going by the name MJ13. Made up of three guys (Andres Anguita, Anthony Johns and Felix the Rat) out of East London, the band mixes both slow and fast beats which made me tense ,yet attracted my attention to listen to more with raw guitars and a quite garage-like sound – no clean mixing going on here but it’s all very listenable.
Confused? Me too I guess. What I’m trying to say basically is that it’s catchy, dark, upbeat, philosophic and punk all mixed together. Okay, maybe you should just listen to it…my favorite song is “A Pocket Sex Poppy Like You” – get what I mean? They are that little bit different which makes them good.
Check their websites which all have a lot of their songs for listening…

Currently Slipknot is on world tour pushing their latest upcoming album, the fourth studio album entitled “All Hope Is Gone” which is making Slipknot fans smile even more as this is in my eyes just another masterpiece of heavy metal at its best coming our way. With new masks and supposedly one of the heaviest albums to date, we’ll all be looking forward to the new release coming out August 26th, 2008.

Element hosts Audio Visual Awards 2008
July 17th, 2008 / No Comments » / by Jonathan Young
Element has put together a rather nice and creative contest called the “Element Audio Visual Awards” which is supposed to “support a new generation of musicians, film-makers and artists”. It isn’t always easy to package a contest and keep it from being branded, but looking over the edge of the commercial plate, this looks like a promising concept which should be tested.
The following categories are open for entries:
Video: best full length film, best short film, best skate video part and best skate video
Music: best group/band, best female musician, best male musician
Art: best fine art, best graphic art, best photo, best skate photo
To find out more, make sure you visit the Element Audio Visual Awards website
Entries deadline is September 1st, 2008 and the winners will be announced September 15th, 2008. So get cracking, there’s not that much time left!
