New Faces — Two Years

New Faces -- Two Years

The Shackeltons — The Shackeltons

The Shackeltons
The band has found that perfect indie-rock sound, with sonically charged, powerful post-punk beats anchoring lead singer Mark Redding's talking/screaming/pleading vocals.

Carrie Akre — ...Last the Evening

Carrie Akre -- ...Last the Evening
This is her strongest and most consistent record. For an artist to put out a record at this stage in her career is certainly admirable; but to make one as good overall as this one is nothing short of special.

Jonny Polonsky — The Power of Sound

Jonny Polonsky -- The Power of Sound
The record is a kicker, full of decent power pop tunes, a solid enough effort to kick the prodigal living piss out of some of the other crappy modern power-pop rock out there.
