2KX Create A Lavish Musical Framework Beyond Comparison

October 31, 2014

I know it’s my job to compare musical acts and try to paint a picture as to what they are doing so that you can go and buy the record and check them out, but every now and again artists are beyond just one genre and above any simple terminology. It’s paying disservice for me to call the latest release from 2KX anything other than a masterpiece. Fronted by Lisa LaRue, this is a release of progressive rock and is like nothing I’ve heard in a long time. Yes, there are other prog rock bands out there, but this release is a cataclysmic exemplification of art, and not just music. With the release of “Sussuration”, you get elements of every type of musical genre, but it’s like a work of art, seamless in the integral elements that make this worth picking up. I was floored by the pieces, and really found myself in awe at the precision at which every element comes together. It’s like a giant jigsaw puzzle, and once you hear the record, you understand the pieces fit to make sure that this makes...

Figures of Light Greatest Hits Give You More Bang For Your Buck

September 12, 2014

Who said music is expensive? Figures of Light unleashes 20 tracks of pure gold on their greatest hits record. I for one am impressed that they are letting this all go for so cheap, as it is definitely worth a lot more. What you get is 52 minutes of non-stop protopunk glory. You get a taste of all the best tracks from the band and you’ll find that it is a perfect gift for those that haven’t heard of the band’s work yet. They dig through some of the highlights of their records to bring out a glorious edition in one release. From the opening track of “Buy Before You Die”, through the iconic hits of “Killers From Space”, “Too Many Bills, Not Enough Thrills”, “I give Up”, and their electronic stuff, you’re going to have a lot to listen to here. If you have an hour of time, put this on and boogie. This is definitely a good track listing of songs, with something for everyone to enjoy. You even get some of the mixes from their newer records. At the end of the day, when you order the Figu...

Figures of Light Blast Through To The Future With Great! Now We've Got Time To Party!

January 01, 2014

What some might see as a departure, others will peg as an evolution, and that’s closer to what you get on “Great! Now We’ve Got Time To Party!” from Figures of Light. This is an interesting release that has this artist spreading its wings and showing that the definition of proto-punk isn’t really going to stop them from creating incredible pieces of music. It’s this type of ethos that gets many bands in trouble, because they aren’t going to be put into a single box or style. This genre shifting release still holds something for the old school fan, but is very well rooted in the new. At first, you will definitely think that this is just an ambience filled record, and it most certainly has that vibe on the opening track, but if you stick with it, you realize that there’s more to come. It’s in the second song “Ninety-Nine (Featuring Stuart Pendergast)” that you start to get a feel for the talent that Figures of Light pushes. The wailing guitar riffs is coupled with a vibrancy that is ...

Charlie Leavy Creates An Emphatic Alternative EP With The Best Damn Ride

August 19, 2014

I never know what to expect from independent artists, as I’ve heard a lot of bad in my day. Charlie Leavy is one of those stand outs, that you aren’t sure about until you actually listen. It was with the release of “The Best Damn Ride” EP that I was floored by the talented artist. With the first track of “The Way Life Is”, you get completely thrown into a world that is a mirror of life. The lyrics are of wisdom and honor, a reflection of society, the same kind of candor that you would expect from a veteran soul artist. It’s sung and played with precision and it creates a nice spectrum to give you an idea of what the artist is all about. It’s with that opener that Charlie Leavy won me, it’s a strong opener. The rest of the EP is solid, with “Tongue Tied”, “Summers Day Runaway”, “Falter baby” and “Running My Mouth”. It’s this type of music that bridges gaps between genres, and while it is firmly rooted in acoustics, it still has a raw, rock energy that is definitely worth noting. I l...
