Northern Portrait - Criminal Art Lovers

Aristocracy my EP of the year, and I know I wasn't the only one out there. It was clearly derivative of The Smiths, but most debut EPs rip something off, and there was more than enough there to su... Read more

Nitzer Ebb - Industrial Complex

A more complex, intricate, and industrially modern sound by Nitzer Ebb holds both revelation and blessing.2 of 2 thought this review was well written The once densely thin Nitzer Ebb of past is jus... Read more
