SUNDAY: Title Fight In Norfolk!

2010 IN REVIEW: Graham Scala’s Albums Of The Year

When Graham (seen above performing in one of his many bands) turned in his Top 10 records of 2010, I considered writing back and asking him to write brief descriptions of each one. Then I realized that he'd already written lengthy reviews about the majority of his list. Therefore, instead of new writeups, we've linked each album title to its...

DAILY RECORDS: Ill Niño, Red Mass, As They Sleep

Ill Niño - Dead New World (Victory) Sometimes bands who are tainted by association with the universally reviled genre of nu-metal are condemned unfairly; bands like that (Slipknot, Chimaira, Killswitch Engage) are easy to defend, because their music speaks for itself. However, a band like Ill Niño is on much shakier territory. Sure, they have...

SHOW REVIEW: Job For A Cowboy, Skeletonwitch
