As you can tell by the above information, I got to do something not many people get to do with this tour. Due a pre-arranged trip, I discovered I would have the opportunity to check out this tour a second time while at home in Seattle. So this review is from two different shows.  Read more...

I’ll lay it out for nice and simple; Jonezetta is that smooth talking new student at school that is instantly friends with everyone. You would never know they were the newest band on the Tooth and Nail record label. Jonezetta are not messing around, they take “pop punkâ€?/â€?indie popâ€? and cram a whole lot of energy into every song. The record is infectious and just flat out fun. It should get should get at least a few people dancing.  Read more...

Mike Duncan: Cassino, Matchbook Romance – This week Matchbook Romance’s sophomore album, Voices, has been in heavy rotation for me. Even though I have owned this record since its release on Valentine’s Day of this year, it had not sunk in until now. The reason being that it was such a drastic change from Stories and Alibis, which has always been one of my favorites. I gave Voices a second chance, which turned into a third chance, which turned into a fourth and a fifth… The fact is that this is not an album that should be overlooked. Matchbook Romance took a chance with the direction of this disc and took some stabs for it, but I found that if you listen to it a few times and let it hit you, their new sound begins to take on its own shape and you depend less on your expectations. I love how dark the whole album sounds; it has really been gearing me up for Halloween.
