The Last Waltz by Killdozer was originally released in 1997 by the defunct Man’s Ruin Records. Until now, it remained to be the pioneer of the historic Madison slo-core and still the one and only certified live recording. Since year 2000, it has been totally out of print but fortunately Wisconsin label Crustacean records was able to make a totally remixed, remastered and repackaged CD version. The momentous documentary of the band’s final tour is entitled The Fuck You We Quit Tour. It is believe that there could be a possibility of a mini revival of the live recording of their 1996 final show.

Review: Dashboard Confessional’s The Shade of Poison Trees

Dashboard Confessional fans found Dusk and Summer a wee bit disappointing and since then, there is much talk and anticipation about the band’s next album. It has been going around that Chris Carrabba was to gear back to their earlier style, which is more intimate. Indeed, The Shade of Poison Trees does seem to satisfy the standards. However, affectation is still met when the whole collection has been listened to. Nevertheless, producer Don Gilmore gave full trust to Carrabba and the rest of the band and allowed each of their hidden selves to shine through in this album.

“Fever Dreams” and “Where There’s Gold…” is perfect for the fans of the older Dashboard style and shall fulfill their listening pleasure once more as the two songs carry their signature acoustic instrumentation and sing along choruses that resemble those around the campfire. Indeed, Dashboard Confessional has come back home to cheer their loyal listeners yet again.

Its nice to know that Oasis is still alive and very much kicking amidst the music scene’s shift to another genre. In fact the band just doesnt care much about what others are criticising about them. The newest Oasis album sounds much like a band refreshed, but not exactly reinvented. They have just taken it easy. After all, they are Oasis. There’s quite a few difference on their newest release. For one, there is no huge piano anthem. They certainly did away with that this time. Or friend themes like “Let There Be Love”. Their latest album radiates that rough rock n roll album they tended to do every time their critics undermine their effort. In all, the songs are driven by pounding rhythmic, distortion based psychedelic rock. It sounds energetic and cocky. Its unmistakably, Oasis!
