Things have never been better
So they bound to get worse
I’m havin’ visions of leavin’ here in a hearse
Death’s been stalkin’ me since the day of my birth
Tell me Lord, why must I live my life cursed?
Cruisin’ down the strip where the sun is known to set
Knight pushin’ his Beamer, and me ridin’ without my vest
I [...]
Step foot into an empty room
See the curtain drapes parting to reveal the glow of the moon
See your black gown from your video
Lying on the mattress
See movie scripts requesting your gifts as an actress
Scattered in front of the mirror where you would practice
On this dresser there also lies a bouquet and a chain
With your name [...]
Stayed up late one evening
Daddy came home drunk; could see his rage seething
Went straight to the closet and got his belt
Took my sister to her room, her arms swollen from the welts
Daddy’s home
I’m all alone
Mommy sits by herself and she’s praying
Upstairs my sister is crying in pain
Could stand the screams no more
Opened my sister’s door
Daddy [...]
Welcome to the cold town known as “The Grove”
Where the youth pack more heat than the kitchen stove
The dead of winter lasts all year-round
And children play around body outlines on the ground
An average night is spent listening to a collective cry
No use in trying to escape, when you’re busy trying not to die
Shots from the [...]
City lights dimmed as light pierced the night
Stare up to the clouds to glance at a heavenly sight
Oh watch how the sky suddenly rains down fire and might
Souls destined for eternity on their final flight
Oh watch as they burn, these stairways to heaven
Stomachs turn as billowing smoke suffocates their brethren
The city of light has never [...]

When first laying eyes on the Films, you may rightfully mistake them for a clone of “garage-pop” band Jet, or a group who similarly apes the recent craze for 70’s rock throwbacks. This assumption will gradually melt away though, as the Films’ set progresses. They are not in fact a [...]
Lucky man returns home; face is grim and pale, like a zombie
Bringing disturbing news of impending doom
Glides to the bedside of his wife and newborn son
Junior is nursing, being nurtured by his mother
His future looked promising; he was going to be someone special
The man embraces his wife, tears building
Slowly, he bluntly states, “The third one [...]

This band sounds like a contemporary version of the tripped out mid-60s musings of the Zombies, only after having been married to the distinctive tribal rhythms of early Santana. Each musician in Dios Malos’ line-up plays a role in elevating the band into the cosmos; keyboardist Jimmy Cabeza DeVaca in [...]

Prototypes don’t just seem like they’re from another country; it’s more like they’re from another planet. With an amazing brew of New Wave, techno, hip-hop, and (dare I say it) rockabilly elements, these French exports serve up a delicious full course meal of transcendent dance pop in the span of [...]

The elements incorporated into this band’s sound should not make any sense alongside each other, but they do. Infusing backwoods jangle with electro pop and an overall jam band sensibility, the Spinto Band conjure up a refreshing mix that simultaneously emancipates your body and your soul. In the course of the [...]
