From 2009 to 2013 Dalea was the lead singer/founder of Quimera Music, a symphonic rock band. Now solo, she has changed gears and shifted into the realm of pop. Her new single, “Speed Racer,” is a delicious mix of electro and synth pop with a very chic, futuristic, sci-fi vibe that makes it immediately intriguing.

NOTE: I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. You can’t exactly bring a professional camera into a casino, less they think you’re taking photos so you can make plans to rob the place. So, I had to make due with the camera on my Kindle, which isn’t very good and is especially poor…

It’s 2015 and Stryper’s yellow and black attack continues. And I dare say it’s stronger than ever. Just listen to “Yahweh,” the blistering opening track of their new album, Fallen. When I heard Michael Sweet was writing a song with Clint Lowery of Sevendust I thought we were in for a disaster, just based on…

review by Michael McCarthy photos by Joshua Bernard Last night Bostonians were given the opportunity to rock their asses off and rock they did, thanks to one of the best, Brit Award-winning, rock ‘n’ roll bands to ever come out of England, The Darkness. Just before the band hurried out on stage, a huge black…

The beats are catchy as they are snappy and Ross does some of his best rapping to date. The hook is great, too. And kudos to him for doing this on his own without any guest stars.

Well, I don’t care how good the album Grimes scrapped was — it was well worth it, since it lead to this sheer pop brilliance.

The Dead Weather don’t like to call themselves a supergroup, but they undoubtedly are. Jack White (drums, vocals, guitars) has become an acclaimed solo artist during recent years and was already famous for The White Stripes. Alison Mosshart (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards) is one half of the rough and tumble pop duo The Kills.…

review by Michael McCarthy photos by Joshua Bernard Yes, indeed, it has been twenty years since Garbage released their self-titled debut album. That’s two fucking decades! Earlier this month they released remastered versions of the record, which included a deluxe edition and a super deluxe edition, the later being a massive 62 tracks long, including…

Let’s face it, Drake’s last album, If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late, wasn’t nearly as good as his previous, Nothing Was The Same. The beats didn’t compare and Drake sounded rather uninspired. But we’re thrilled with his new single, “Hotline Bling.” He sounds like his old self and the beats are mighty potent, too.…

Selena Gomez fans can rejoice. Not only has she just released Revival, a magnificent new pop opus, it has officially claimed the Number One spot on the Billboard 200, selling an impressive 117,000 copies in its first week of release. This makes it her second Number One record on Billboard, her remarkable previous album, Stars Dance, having sold 97,000 copies…

Chairlift, the duo known as Patrick Wimberly and Caroline Polachek, worked on Beyoncé’s last album, Polachek writing and co-producing with Wimberly the R&B number, “No Angel.” So, it should come as no surprise that their new single, “Ch-Ching” falls in the R&B vein. It’s like a mix between Beyoncé and their usual electropop sound.

“Downtown” is Chris River’s first single from the album Medicated Consumption, which will be out on October 21st. First of all, the Lana Del Rey sample is what first made me fall in love with this song. That’s how it begins, so of course that’s going to hook you first? But then Chris starts rapping…
