Unsung Zeros “Fading Out” (Eulogy Recordings) Insipid, boring “punk” rock. These zeros deliver clichéd lyrics delivered by a kid who probably gets dropped off in his mom’s Minivan before school and a couple of guitars played by band geeks. Maybe…
This Day Forward “Kairos” (Eulogy Recordings) Five songs of passionately charged emo/indie rock. It’s got the dual vocals, one smooth, one screaming (mostly the singer just doubling). Creative structures showing tension on the breaks and more fluid ideals in the higher…
Red Roses For A Blue Lady ““Return To Melancholy”” (Eulogy Recordings) Out of all the music I’ve received this month, this is my favorite. Red Roses are one of the best of the newest wave of metal core bands. They…

Unsung Zeros “Moments From Mourning” (Eulogy Recordings) My buddy Jeff Greenfield and I just got back from a trip to Las Vegas yesterday. We had fun. We got our pictures taken with Ron Jeremy at the bar at Mandaly Bay.…

Bury Your Dead “You Had Me at Hello” (Eulogy Recordings) I mean, their name is Bury Your Dead, what do you think they sound like? Soft rock? Electronica? Do you really need me to write this review? They’re a damn…
