Roark – Break of Day

February 17, 2007 By David Gagnon 1 Comment

Roark - Break of Day

Artist: Roark
Album: Break of Day
Label: LoveMinusZero
Purchase: WestAspen
Release Date: February 20th, 2007

Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.3
Lyrics: 9.0
Production: 8.8

To be completely honest, I haven’t had the had the pleasure to listen to a CD of this genre that was this good since Copeland’s latest release. Roark, a stickler for melody, and trust me it shows, crafted a simply amazing listening experience that I have been unable to put down since my first listen through.

Break of Day, the first release from the new lable <3-0 (LoveMinusZero) has it’s share of up’s and down’s. I say that in a good way though, based on the fact that the subject of many of Roark’s tracks are on Death, Relationships and Love. However, let me warn you right now, if you’re looking for some ass kickin’ rock and roll, you best look elsewhere, because, although this cd rocks, it rocks on a whole different level.

I highly recomend that everyone checks out the <3-0 website as snipit’s of each track are available to listen. It doesn’t do any track justice, but should provide everyone with a chance to hear, what should be, one of the best new pop/rock/indie cd’s this year. Break of Day get’s my vote for ‘sleeper hit’ of the last few months.

Be sure to check out the Roark contest taking place right now here with Driven Far Off. You could be the proud owner of a signed copy of Break of Day.

Be sure to check out the conest Driven Far Off is running right now with Drive-Thru Records and <3-0 to become the proud owner of a signed Break of Day CD.

Self Against City – Telling Secrets To Strangers

January 8, 2007 By Reema Desai 2 Comments

Self Against City

Artist: Self Against City
Album: Telling Secrets To Strangers
Label: Rushmore Records/Drive-Thru Records
Purchase: Smart Punk
Release Date: January 9, 2007

Overall: 9.0
Music: 9.2
Lyrics: 8.7
Production: 9.0

The record begins with the line “Lets take this all the way.” Two years after their release of their EP, Self Against City are back again and most definitely taking it all the way. Since the EP, Jonathan’s vocals have gotten stronger, there is more variation and the band has a much tighter sound. The result is the disgustingly catchy “Telling Secrets To Strangers.”
