The Sunstreak - Once Upon A Lie Review
(5.0)
(11.07.2009)
- Dan Marsicano
With an upbeat rock attitude, and a bevy of keyboard sounds supporting it, The Sunstreak looks to make waves with Once Upon A Lie. Does the album accomplish this task or does it turn out to be a fizzing dud? |

Alexandra Burke - Overcome Review
(6.5)
(11.03.2009)
- Daniel Wilcox
Upon winning the X Factor in 2008, Alexandra Burke was labeled a Leona Lewis clone. With her debut album, Burke looks to step out of Leona's shadow and conquer the US, but how does she fair? |

(7.5)
(11.02.2009)
- Daniel Wilcox
If you've just come to see how bad this, you're going to be sorely disappointed. Creed have come full circle and is rockin' once again. |

Between the Buried and Me - The Great Misdirect Review
(9.5)
(10.30.2009)
- Enrique
Improbably, BTBAM tops itself once again. The Great Misdirect is a breathtaking example of a band exceeding the ridiculously high expectations it has set for itself, and solidifies BTBAM as one of the most artistically important rock bands of our young 21st century. |

The Summer Set - Love Like This Review
(6.0)
(10.24.2009)
- Vanessa Willoughby
Hailing from Scottsdale, Arizona, The Summer Set consists of brothers Stephen (bass) and John Gomez (guitar), in addition to Josh Montgomery (guitar), Brian Dales (vocals), and Jess Bowen (drums). Their mission: to inject a sense of optimism back into the music scene. But is this power-pop band a feel-good relief or too much of a toothache to handle? |

Skeletonwitch – Breathing the Fire Review
(8.0)
(10.24.2009)
- Enrique
Skeletonwitch’s second album for Prosthetic Records straight up rocks. The Ohio-based thrashers deliver a high-quality selection of songs that features a little something for everyone. But you don’t have to take my word for it… |

(10.18.2009)
- Alistair McGeorge
Three years after the release of their last studio album, Bowling For Soup return with their tenth album, Sorry For Partyin’. Is the norm becoming boring and repetitive, or are BFS still one of the best at what they do? Check inside to find out. |

Fink - Sort Of Revolution Review
(7.0)
(10.17.2009)
- Paul Schofield
Not Howard Finkel, but a DJ turned singer/songwriter, with songs co-written by John Legend. But should Fink stick to spinning discs, or will he spin your head right round, right round? |
