Brilliant Treasures

[via]
Normally I do these posts as sets of three but time is short tonight.

Apples In Stereo’s Robert Schneider has a new side project called Thee American Revolution, who, in turn, have a track called Power House. It’s sort of a standard Detroit garage rock riff and, to be honest, I didn’t really care for [...]

Earlier in the year I reviewed Kid iD who released a fantastic E.P. entitled Black Comedy. I am so proud to be in at the start of a new incarnation featuring former members of the now defunct Kid iD. There are shades of the former in parts but To Kill A king have added more [...]

There’s nothing particularly scary about the premise that I could work out on a conscious level. Sure, they stole the intro from Raiders of the Lost Ark and this song sounds like every single [...]
