Review:
Feeler was supposed to be the follow-up to Rubberneck, as it was recorded in 1997. Interscope rejected the songs, and we got nothing from the Toadies until 2001’s Hell Below/Stars Above. The Feeler tracks leaked onto the Internet, so we’ve all been enjoying them, but recently the band dusted off the songs and were going to release them properly. Except Interscope wouldn’t give their permission. (Record companies are dumb.) So what to do’ Re-record the songs in the present day, make a couple changes, and put it out as the album that “should have been”. Voila, Feeler 2010!

Review:
The Bush frontman’s first solo album, which is kind of a poppier version of Bush. Quite listenable, even if you’re sick of hearing “Love Remains The Same” on the radio ad nauseum.

A compilation of demos, rarities, live cuts, with two new songs: Dull Boy (which ended up on The New Game as well), and a cover of the Police’s King Of Pain. The intro tracks before each song thankfully are separate tracks and are skippable.

Review:
Stolen from Amazon:
Metal legends Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed) and Kirk Windstein (Down, Crowbar) return with Behind The Blackest Tears, the second album from their acclaimed super-group Kingdom of Sorrow. Behind The Blackest Tears pushes their legendary songwriting talents even further as evidenced by the unforgettable “Enlightened to Extinction”, the devastating “God’s Law in the Devil’s Land”, the title track, and the fragile, haunting “From Heroes to Dust”. With a sound as large as their reputations, and some of the best songwriting the genre has seen in years, Behind The Blackest Tears is destined to become a instant genre classic!

Review:
Sludge meets hardcore! Kirk Windstein and Jamey Jasta turned their longtime friendship into a dynamite record. Heavy as heavy can be. And who rounds out the band’ Steve Gibb (ex-Black Label Society), and Derek Kerswill (of Seemless/Unearth fame).

Review:
Jamey Jasta’s long-time-running side project with Danny Diablo (of Skarhead) finally saw a release in 2006. This is about as hardcore as it gets, and the album even has a couple of guest spots from Ice-T, Al Barr (from Dropkick Murphy’s) and others.

The “official bootleg” of the Buffalo PJ show I attended. You can see my review of the show here, which should pretty much be the review of the CD. Another excellent show for the WNY faithful.
