I've had the pleasure of listening to these 8 tracks a few times now and they get better with each spin. What we have here is a group of guys that have a true sense of themselves and know exactly who they are, and where they come from. It's tight and focused and they play "in the pocket" keeping the groove strong.

Vincent's Ear - Earth To Space
Vincent's Ear is another band that has flown beneath the radar for most people, I think, and are definitely worthy of some praise. With "Earth to Space" they have taken their game up a notch, and managed to create something truly memorable here.

You wanna get punished, feel stoned, fall down the well of doom...and be pleasantly surprised. Then Green and Wood will get you there.

From the opening beer tab pull of the first song "Georgia Trucker Fun", you can tell these guys are out to prove there's more to Iowa than cows and corn fields.

Black Rainbows - Carmina Diabolo
The new album 'Carmina Diabolo' has been worth waiting for; the Italian riff inquisition is back with a vengeance and ready to torture anyone who would try to climb the holy mountain, with their mighty strings!
