The Duke Spirit - The Step and The Walk

This could do average on some rock stations, not my style.  Too out in left field.  4/10

Vampire Weekend - A-Punk

Funky little rock track.  Doubtful to do much.  4/10

Saving Abel - Addicted

I had a friend over the other day and was asking me about a rock song called “Addicted”, and I told him who sang it, and realized that I didn’t review this a few weeks ago when I should have.  Anyways, the song is great, and should put these guys on the map.  7/10

I’m not a huge Jack Johnson fan, but this song is alright.  6/10

Opeth - Watershed

DJ Willis – Album Review – Opeth – Watershed” height=

“Opeth’s U.S. profile is at a tipping point, as the Swedish progressive band is ready to break into the metal mainstream if it keeps playing its cards right. “Watershed” reaffirms the quintet’s style of transposing driving black metal with interludes tender enough for children’s ears. The flute-tinged opener “Coil” is positively rustic, with frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt dueting with Natalie Lorichs. Yet, even when pushing its heavier alter ego, the boundaries are blurring into each other. The determined riffs of “Heir Apparent” dissolve into lightly skipping guitar notes, and companion track “The Lotus Eater” winds through several jam incarnations that bring Opeth’s psychedelic ’60s influences to the fore. Then, sighing lament “Burden” picks up for the next decade, following traditional prog patterns from the ’70s. A substantial addition to the band’s catalog. —Christa L. Titus”

Faber Drive - When I’m With You

Song is doing very well in Canada, hopefully it crosses over to the U.S. 9/10

Theory of a Deadman - Bad Girlfriend
