Throwing Muses at Get It On Vinyl

I was not thrilled to have a Throwing Muses album passed my way to review. At best Throwing Muses was a lingering memory for me, and at worst, I might have had them confused with another band altogether. I wasn’t a Throwing Muses fan when they were in their peak. It’s not that I didn’t… Continue reading Throwing Muses at Get It On Vinyl

The Primitives at Get It On Vinyl

Like many, my only previous exposure to The Primitives was their single, “Crash.” My lack of knowledge is simply because of my age. So with a reformation and their long awaited LP in our hands, and some research on their back catalogue, we jumped right into Spin O Rama. From the opening moments of the… Continue reading The Primitives at Get It On Vinyl

Mind Brains at Get It On Vinyl

Mind Brains new self-titled album definitely falls into this realm. Harnessing a massive range of elements, from classical, to electronic, to fundamental rock instruments, the album takes the approach of throwing everything at the listener in hopes that something brilliant may come out. While not brilliant, the album has plenty of high points. The opening… Continue reading Mind Brains at Get It On Vinyl

Only on vinyl can you really enjoy the magic that is a split EP. Digital only music consumers will never understand just how awesome they can be.

Lunchbox at Get it On Vinyl

When it comes to indie-pop, there seems to be two avenues in which an artist can approach the genre.

Others give into the sound and their lyrics are more carefree, their subject matter shallower. While both have… Continue reading Lunchbox at Get it On Vinyl

Bastards of Fate at Get It On Vinyl

When the name Bastards of Fate was passed along to me, I assumed they were a punk band. I was positive in fact, that they were a hardcore punk band with stage antics in line with G.G. Allen’s. I pictured a front man who cut himself on stage and projectile vomited on the audience. It really sounded… Continue reading Bastards of Fate at Get It On Vinyl

Cosines at Get It On Vinyl

The best thing about seven-inch singles is they can showcase the wide range of a group. With their second single, Commuter Love/Disclosed Stories, London pop band Cosines deliver polar opposite styles of songs, and deliver outstanding results in between. “Commuter Love” starts off with a rhythmic guitar riff, full of fuzz, and provides plenty of… Continue reading Cosines at Get It On Vinyl

Eureka California at Get It On Vinyl

Some of the best albums are the kind you can drop the needle, drop the lights, and just get lost in the lush harmonies, melodic guitars, and powerful drums. The lyrics are are as deep as an ocean, thick with artistic metaphors that connect with the listener on a personal level, and shares the subjects… Continue reading Eureka California at Get It On Vinyl
