		<description><![CDATA[The Blue Midnight Highway, Erb’s latest project, harkens back to the days when electronic music branched into industrial. Their debut single, comprised of “Devil In A Red Dress Drive-By/Galaxy”, is odd synth-sounds, distorted vocals, and straight-ahead rock beats. The production on the tracks is fantastic— the synths are plentiful but never compete. On “Devil In [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Grand Rapids&#8217; The FUZZrites are obviously privy to this little-known truth as the songs found on Baby Cakes (Spinout Records) are awash in deliciously raspy square waves and crunchy, crackling guitars.  Retro-garage-surf fuzz&#8212;yeah, that&#8217;s an apt descriptor for this band&#8217;s stylistic leanings.  Throw in some pop sensibility (only the final track is appreciably longer than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[40 Stitches Later, an Americana/Alt-Country outfit from Lansing, offer up some good North-Midwestern twang against a bleak setting of unemployment and everyday blue collar struggles on their new CD Rust Belt Never Sleeps. The title of the record is a nod that’s setting the bar a bit high, fellas, but the images behind it seem [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[?Posible –O- Imposible? – the new offering from Detroit’s The High Strung – is an energetic slice of power-pop sunshine. They’ve taken queues from 60’s-era WHO (think Happy Jack &#38; The Who Sell Out) and added a bit of Donovan Psychedelia and Beach Boys bounce. They’ve wrapped it all up with some Guided By Voices-like [...]]]></description>

Led by the convincing grovely vocals and banjo strummin’ of Mason Damn Tinsley and the high-harmonies and mandolin of Joe Vega, Rickett Pass strum, yell, proclaim and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title track from Jeremy Porter and the Tucos’ new release “Night on the Town” sounds like a throwback to the mid-90&#8242;s before bands like Puddle of Mudd ruined music. The song opens with a distorted guitar, soon followed by a snare setting the tempo, and then an ascending 3 note vocal melody.  Competent musicianship [...]]]></description>
