Monte Negro - Cicatrix - Feed The Hungry Records - 2007
  -- Tuesday, July 03, 2007

Monte Negro is a little out there. Don't listen to this album expecting punk rock or hardcore. Actually, you're probably more likely to find a chill Latin Sugar Ray.

If you can hang with slow beats, English and Spanish mixed vocals and plenty of cowbell, this album could be your summer 2007 jam. If you live in Puerto Rico, you have been rocking it since April. However, most main land Americans have to wait until August 2007 for it to drop. I'd suggest getting the grill ready and perhaps grabbing some tequiza. Then again, I'm vegan and straight edge. What do I know about either of those items? You may want to decided on your own accessories to this album.

Grandville - S/T - TV Eye Records 2005
  -- Monday, February 05, 2007


Grandville reminds me of the WB. You know, The WB. The previous home of ground breaking tv programming like 7th Heaven, The Gilmore Girls, Charmed and Dawson's Creek. Over the years, that network has been responsible for the making of several prominent artists. Grandville seems like a band that is striving for WB hype, as if they were shooting for a track to be played on One Tree Hill.

Normally, I am a big fan of poppy music. But something about this album just doesn't cut it for me. If this comparison is possible, I would say these guys sound like an extra whiney Dashboard Confessional infused with some Hanson Brothers MMM Bop. Yeah, I know, that's hard to reach. But that's what I'm getting out of this album. I would expect these guys to be heart broken high schoolers where in reality, they appear to be 30+ grown adults. Who'd have guessed?

For more pics, a chance to hear the music or a friendly message from the band, you can check out Grandville at one of their many promotional websites: here. here, here or here.
