Verbicide Review:
Here’s a great review from Verbicide

Read the full review here!
Thanks Verbicide. You really know the way to a bands heart!

Anonymous asked: Hey there, this is Justin from Forces of a Street. We'd like to talk about setting up some shows outside of Columbia with other folks. The problem is that we are recently drummer-less. I don't suppose you know anyone who might be available, or any other leads in that direction? You can email me at forcesofastreet at gmail - Thanks!

I was immediately drawn into the Rejectioneers’ EP 25 for the same reason that I listen to bands like Jimmy Eat World or Nada Surf. The songs are catchy rock, simple as that. The opener “Murderers”, is like a 90’s...

Rejectioneers, “Get So Mad”
“I can’t bridge the gap in between us.”
I’m still here, still blogging, still overexcited about new music – though you may have guessed otherwise based on my utter lack of attention. Thanks to Beartrap PR for inspiring some action on my part. Whenever an email from Beartrap pops into my inbox, I usually pay attention. And it usually pays off....

Pick Your Poison: Thursday 11-17-11
Posted by FaronheitNo comments
Thanksgiving is officially one week away. I don’t know about you, but I start to prepare my stomach well in advance for such an occasion. Turkey and mashed potatoes are my standbys, even as I personally dislike stuffing and cranberry sauce. Still, you pile food on multiple plates and just sit and eat for a few hours. Get a pair...
