We’re halfway there!
#15: MIEN – (self-tited) – This psychedelic supergroup (featuring members of the Black Angels, Elephant Stone, the Earlies, and the Horrors) had a fine debut indeed with this record that dabbles in some of the darker sides of psychedelia.
#14: Slaves – Acts of Fear and Love – How can two lads make so much punk noise? Easy, they’re powered by anger, satire, ferocious beats, and shredding guitar. These cats are probably the Next Big Thing, but I doubt they give a damn about that.
#13: Hprizm – Magnetic Memory – This rap record has more layers than an onion, wicked beats, philosophy, and calls for the disenfranchised of all colors, sexes, and creeds to band together.
#12: D-Tension – The Violence of Zen – Fierce hip-hop. That’s the best way I can describe this solid record from Boston MC D-Tension. He’s one of the wittiest rhymers out there and deserves to be heard more across the world.
#11: Caroline Rose – Loner – This pop-punk record is full of witty lyrics, sex, and snark. Rose is like a ninja – jumping out of the shadows to wallop you and then retreating back into the rock and roll shadows to plan her next attack.
We’re into the top 10 next!
