Vinyl Review: "Endless Descent" by Junior Bruce

Endless Descent

Today was supposed to be a really awesome day for my family and I. There were a great many plans that we had made for today. However, Mother Nature decided that all of our plans were mutable.

Instead of seeing a movie, going to the Library, and perhaps taking in a hockey game, we have been locked inside of our house...and without bacon.

Considering last evening St. Louis was pounded with sleet and today's no better, it seems that staying inside of our house and enjoying time as a family was better than the solo fender bender I engaged in on my way home from the office last night.

In this spirit, I have spirited away to the upstairs lounge to resume my consideration of Junior Bruce's latest effort, Endless Descent on vinyl.

Album Review: "Blossoming Decay" by Noisem

Blossoming Decay

Sorry, but I got this album late. It's release date has already past, but let's peep this stuff anyway.

Today we're considering the sophomore album by Baltimore's Noisem, the follow up to Agony Defined.

I first encountered Noisem on tour with Carcass and Obituary last year.

They were the first act on a four act bill. The frontman for Exhumed mentioned, how great is Noisem?  He followed that up with "Imagine how great they'll be once they get their driver's licenses!

These men are definitely young. The bassist is the elder statesmen on the group at the ripe old age of 22. The line up is rounded out by two pairs of brothers and they've been off and running for years.
