Review: Talons by The Toothe
Album Review: 7.1
When I first turned on the EP, I expected another Mumford & Sons, folk wanna-be band. But as they continued playing, I heard subtle tones from the Beatles, Panic! at the Disco, (clearly) the Avett Brothers and Fleet Foxes. As I listened farther into the album, I found great beauty in the descriptions and comparisons that The Toothe would use. Although quite graphic, “you are passing through me like a kidney stone.” the lyrics were very well done and never felt out-of-place with the style of music The Toothe plays.
Review: Blue Skies for Black Hearts by Blue Skies for Black Hearts
Album Rating: 7.0
Blue Skies for Black Hearts is no light-weight in the world of music. They have been around since 2002 when lead singer Pat Kearns began as a solo artist. Since bringing in the other members, Blue Skies has put out 5, this being the 6th, album. This album was self-titled, as Kearns said,
“it’s the best sound and best songs of anything we have done to date. This new lineup achieved the sound I aimed for when I started this thing thirteen years ago.”
