Tragic Hero Released July 21, 2009 If you ask me, He Is Legend has always seemed to have a bit of a musical identity crisis. They’ve always kinda been lumped into a category with other bands from the label they were once a part of, Solid State, but that’s never really been fair or accurate. [keep on readin', baby...]
Sony Records Released September 29, 2009 Man, I’ve known of this band for a long time but I NEVER ever would have figured they’d ever make it here..into the runner up position on the most distinguished list in the entirety of the music and internet industry. You see, I’ve always just been a casual fan [keep on readin', baby...]
Tooth & Nail Released April 21, 2009 My goodness, I don’t really think there is any way for me to share with you exactly how much I love(d) this band. As Cities Burn is, without a glimmer of doubt in my eyes, one of the most talented and disgustingly overlooked and underrated bands over the [keep on readin', baby...]
Anti Records Released October 6, 2009 It started all the way back in the spring with a little post right here on BEP by our little buddy Madlibs (who has a bit of a Ryan Gosling obsession thx to the Notebook), who dropped the knowledge of these guys on myself and everyone else ’round these [keep on readin', baby...]
Solid State Records Released August 25, 2009 In a year where rock n’ roll has been rulin’ my roost, the cream of the crop in metaltown for me was this bad boy right here. I’ve dug Oh Sleeper for a while now, they’re probably one of my top two or three faves in the metal [keep on readin', baby...]
Temporary Residence Released March 24, 2009 Aside from the constant barrage of beautiful women and truckloads of money that get dropped off at my door on a regular basis, one of my favorite parts about being a ‘blogger’ and running my own website is that I get to share with my friends and my readers [keep on readin', baby...]
Victory Records Released June 23, 2009 I have heard so many people talk shit about this record and I’m really kinda baffled by it. Trust me, I understand where you’re all coming from. I understand that, in the minds of some, the band has ‘regressed’ into what they were years ago..before they really started experimenting [keep on readin', baby...]
Epitaph Records Released February 17, 2009 Over the years, Thursday has become one of the bands that can really do no wrong in my opinion. They’ve shown the incredible ability to evolve with each passing record while continuing to keep the signature ‘Thursday’ sound as the foundation for their work. Their last record, ‘A City [keep on readin', baby...]
Reprise Records Released March 29, 2009 Sure, it didn’t quite make the top 10, but I’ll tell ya what, this cd being this high on the list is a small miracle in and of itself. Had you told me a year ago that a Mastodon record would be something I held in high enough regard [keep on readin', baby...]
Ohlone Records Released June 9, 2009 Dredg has always been a pretty special band for me. It started with a little cd called Leitmotif that I stumbled upon only because people here on the internet were going gaga about how awesome and groundbreaking and ahead of it’s time it was and I wanted to see [keep on readin', baby...]
