It’s cold outside, or at least it is where I’m at. If you have weather above 45 then consider yourself lucky. InVogue Records has released a 17 song sampler to help keep you warm this winter. Ok, the songs won’t keep you warm. But you can download the sampler for free and that is always a warm and welcome feeling. Continue reading
Apple introduced iTunes and destroyed the idea of the album. People no longer had to buy the CD or record to own the 3 songs that they wanted. This was great, people could pay $3 for 3 songs and put them on their Zune, iPod, Walkman or whatever else they had and take the songs with them. But throughout the years people have been looking for the next thing in the music industry, and radio is taking a hit. Continue reading

We at Crooked Line Reviews would like to apologize to our readers. We have not updated our site since June. This was due to a stressful year and trying to do school, work and applying for other jobs. But this is a new year and we will do more to cover your music, television, movies and any other forms of media that you consume. This might include the occasional video game, podcast, radio show or advertisements.
Please stick with us as we begin to cover more. And feel free to send us your albums or to ask us to cover your favorite artists.
Onward Chariots loves to use harmonious vocals and upbeat sounds to draw in the listener. This Chamber Pop group, almost with a hint of Ska, pulls some tricks out of its hat.
This is not just a group of people hoping to make it big. This is a collection of people who have been playing music since they could walk and have been filling out their personal resume’s with bands including Cake, Scurvy and Wheatus. This is a group that has shown us what they are capable of, and once again they are proving that they can consistently perform.
This song is not from this EP, but it is still worth a listen.
