The Dear Hunter – The Color Spectrum [All the information you need]
June 14th (next Tuesday) is when The Dear Hunter’s complete Color Spectrum work will be released. I cannot recommend this release highly enough – Casey Crescenzo (lead singer and composer) has worked for over a year on these 9 EP’s. Each EP represents a color on the spectrum with black and white as bookends. There … Read more

So I wrote about this and it all got deleted, so condensed version is – this album is much better than the last, not their best effort but enjoyable – so enjoy.
The Mars Volta – Sydney, 20/01/10 @ Hordern Pavillian
So, on Wednesday night I saw The Mars Volta for the fourth time in my life. It was awesome. Opening with Son Et Lumiere/Inertiatic ESP was something that I would never thought I would ever see.

The Mars Volta – Tremulant
Three tracks of complete and utter insanity from The Mars Volta. Cut That City has some heavily distorted vocals and keyboard driven rhythms that get your feet moving. Concertina is full of Spanish beauty with a satisfying build and climax while Eunich Provocateur is the ultimate space out, electronic rock song tthat one could ask … Read more
