The Birthday Massacre – Hide and Seek (2012)

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.

Jeff Lynne (ex-ELO) – Long Wave (2012)

Returning from a long winter’s nap is ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne. His newest album, Long Wave, to be released October 9th 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.

SINESTRESS – SINESTRESS 2012

NOW!

The 80s saw NIAGARA SANGRE AZUL and closer to us, we HARDREAMS, 91 SUITE, NEXX and Guru to name the main ones. This new group we are talking about today is SINESTRESS, consisting of musicians already experienced and highly inspired melodic rock of the 80s. The singer Juan Carlos Garcia, guitarist and keyboardist Penedo Alejandro Miguel Angel Gala them come from Abu Simbel group who released two albums, the second from 2008 entitled por cumplir Sueños, a real gem of melodic rock. This first album SINESTRESS was born last year and it is clear that their compositions have tone, enthusiasm and especially the melody! Keyboards present well bring this bit of heat for this major art and melodic choruses present well give them also the extent to disk. The singer uses course

NEM – Q 301.81(2012)

NOW!

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
