Rarely does being extremely diverse, mixed with plenty of tallent, make a CD unenjoyable. However, in the case of the newest release from Kaddisfly, I found they’ve missed the mark on making, what some would call, refreshing and vibrant listening experience. After countless listens, I find myself unable to clearly state where this album even sits in my current collection. Now, don’t let me scare you away from Set Sail the Prarie, because there are many good things about it, but personally, I was scratching my head listening to this album rather then sitting back and enjoying it.  Read more...

For the pop in you check out Sherwood and Relient K.
For the rock in you check out Kaddisfly, Means, and Life In Your Way.

Julie Watanabe
If you love bands like Cartel and Fall Out Boy you NEED to check out Fleeing From Finales.  Despite being native UK-ers, these guys sound like all-American pop/rock fiends–catchy, upbeat, and dancable.

Kaddisfly are streaming their new album, Set Sail The Prairie, on their PureVolume page.

Let me start by apologizing to Kaddisfly. I was unable to make it in time, largely in part to the stellar (sarcasm), consistently overpriced parking at HOB. Besides this, there aren’t many things to complain about when it comes to HOB venues. Seemingly always well staffed, and under control, House of Blues concerts always have the big show feel with the smaller venue intimacy.  Read more...
