Ghundi will open for Skint and Invisible Rays at Urban Lounge Dec. 10. INVISIBLE RAYS Bill Cruea: Bass Mike Waters: Drums and vocals Heidi Belka: Keyboards Bill and Mike

Local Review: Beyond This Flesh – Self-Titled
Beyond This Flesh Self-Titled Beyond This Flesh = At The Gates + The Black Dahlia Murder + Kreator + Total Chaos Scream as high-pitched, loud and hard as you can—really hard!—for half an hour straight. You now have a feel for the vocals of Beyond This Flesh. Imagine the intense, technical yet thrashing riffs
Local Review: Quetté Daddie – Reverse Psychology
Quetté Daddie Reverse Psychology JAMS Quetté Daddie = Bert McCracken’s publicity stunts + $10 DI Casio “Before music critic [sic] bash my music in a CD review, I think they should try to understand my music and my pain,” says Quetté Daddie at the beginning of Reverse Psychology.

Local Review: Scoob Serious – Standing in the Gap

Local Review: State & Stereo – Thinkstop

Review: 2% – VA
2% VA Reduced Phat 5/5 The first album off Florida’s Reduced Phat label has marked the music world with the brilliant 2% non-compilation.

Review: Laibach – Anthems And The Videos
LAIBACH ANTHEMS AND THE VIDEOS Mute 5/5 Laibach is an act that has surpassed the test of time. The Slovenian, multi-media act came into exsistence in 1980, and proved to be controversial before ever releasing an album or performing a show. Dressed in Yugoslav army uniforms with specially designed insignias on the arm bands,
