South Carolina native David Reed began his rock and roll sensation with the band Closer, however, he later set out on his own debuting with the self-released Missteps and Miscommunications. For his sophomoric effort as The Private Life of David Reed, he teamed up with producer/writer Tomas Costanza to create a new sound that would represent him as a solo artist. Reed spent the next few months banging out the self-titled follow up, which he wrote, recorded, and remixed all on his own and signed to Chamberlain Records shortly thereafter. Reed briefly spoke to Buzzbin about, among other thing...
Energetic, ready to be back on tour, Coheed and Cambria are literally stretching the very limits of rock and roll. Their thought-provoking and innovative style continues to keep their fans and critics alike, forever guessing. Thursday, August 26 is the date of Coheed and Cambria at the Nautica Pavilion in Cleveland. Openers are Porcupine Tree and the Dear Hunter, which are both great bands. However, I was slightly bummed that Torche and Circa Survive, the bands on earlier shows were not warming up the audience. Coheed and Cambria are known for epic tours—this one is perhaps the most massi...
By: Julia Kazar The Barberton blues band The Heights is getting ready to perform at The Backstage Concert Club in Akron on Saturday, July 24th. The Woovs, another Barberton band, is opening for them. Formed just a few years ago, The Heights are becoming one of the biggest bands in the area, creating their own unique sound and drawing from a ton of classic rock influences, including everything from The Beatles to Neil Young to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Late last year The Heights released their first demo, We Are The Heights Band, which you can check out on their MySpace page. ...
By Julia Kazar The Ruckus, a ska band with a rock sound, from a small town in Kansas has been hard at work this summer. They just released a new CD called “Never Stop” and now they are going on tour to promote it, along with all their other music. The tour makes its way to Northeast Ohio early next week with a show at Conton’s Old Glory on Monday night. Also playing that night are Co-Pilot and General Riot. The music starts at 8:00 and it’s sure to be a night filled with some great music, so don’t miss a minute of it. A few years ago eight guys from a small town in Kansas ...
By Julia Kazar Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are known for their unique style of rock and roll music, but when they set out to make his latest album they decided to do things a little differently. Instead of following the formula that has worked for the band for years, a mix of heartland rock and catchy pop, they went with a more country and blues inspired theme, and it might not have been the best choice for them. Credit where credit is due though, this album was recorded mostly live. Luckily, Tom Petty, and all the Heartbreakers are incredibly talented musicians so what came out wa...
By Julia Kazar The retro sounding British band 22-20’s have just released their latest studio album, Shake/Shiver/Moan. The band’s name comes from the classic Skip James blues song “22-20 Blues” Although the band started out as a blues band they quickly realized that the style of blues that they wanted to play didn’t match what their audience wanted to hear. They were often told in rehearsals that they couldn’t play certain songs because the club owners didn’t think they sounded enough like blues songs. So they decided to follow in the footsteps of one of their major influenc...
zCcTivaToRA By Julia Kazar Colin Shoff might just be the hardest working 17 year old out there today. He’s already booking major gigs at bars and clubs all around the Akron area, including Annabell’s and Musica. He is getting ready to release his first album, The Struggle. Oh, and he has Tourette's, but he doesn’t let that get in the way of achieving his goals. In fact some people don’t even realize he has it. “I thought it would have a big effect on my music, but it really doesn’t at all. There will be times where I’ll get off stage and I’ll be kickin’ it, and people...
By Odessa Jackson In an era of watered down rock and roll, Simeon Soul Charger manages to stand out as a truly great rock band. With touches of metal and Pink Floyd, Simeon Soul Charger’s album, All Rather Dead, makes up in quality what it lacks in length. The album begins with various experimental sounds, “Infiglia Raukus”, that leads into a series of hard rock/ blues inspired pieces and end with the titular song, an acoustic guitar driven piece that reminds the listener of the heartbreaking songs of Johnny Cash. At no point does the band make a move that would lose the listeners...
We headed downtown to Maria’s Arcadia Grille to meet Canton’s The Most Beautiful Losers. Sam Huff and Chris Bentley were looking rough, and this first thing that came out of Bentley’s mouth was “We’re still hungover. Sorry.” Brad Belcher strolled in and ordered a coffee. Akron has The Black Keys, and Canton has The Most Beautiful Losers, a drinking band with a rock and roll problem. They’ve been through a plethora of band mates, brawled in bars all over the country and had the city shut down their home base and most underground club of all time. Born in 2002, Bentley and B...
By Red Eyed Pirate Time to bring back the leather and denim. Grease up the stripper poles and pull out the chaps from our closet. Airbourne has hit the American music scene with a throwback sound reminiscent of ACDC’s glory days. When you pop “Running Wild” into your stereo, you’ll swear it’s ol’ Brian Johnson and the Young brothers pumping away at your speakers. It’s not. I could go on and on about how similar Airbourne’s sound is to ACDC, but the fact of the matter is that would be too easy, and my artistic and journalistic prowess demands more of me. I’ll get ba...
By Charisma Charisma here with the guys from The Motherland United Kingdom, Circle of One. The band is made up of four crazy guys. Two of which share the mic and lead guitar, Julian and Richie, followed up by my new heartthrob SUV on bass and Mikey on drums. Charisma: How’s it going guys? SUV: Fucking shit hot Bute, it’ll be even better when we get our Welsh backsides out to the good old US. Charisma: You are known for your melodious and fierce tunes. Do you consider yourselves a rock and roll band? And who are your influences? Jul: Indeed we do consider ourselves a rock and...
