AC/DC Review – Black Ice Album Review

October 20, 2008 at 5:23 pm (Hard Rock)

Before I start, I’ll preface this by saying that while I’ve always enjoyed hearing AC/DC hits like “Dirty Deeds” and “Tnt” at parties and on the radio, I’m not a die-hard AC/DC fan.  Hence, the review you’re about to read is not coming from an AC/DC authority. Rather, I write to you as an average listener and appreciator of all music. Read the rest of this entry »

Thriving Ivory – Review of their self-titled album

September 12, 2008 at 1:44 am (Alternative) (, , )

Music genre: Alternative/Pop

Band members:

  • Scott Jason – Piano and Keys
  • Clayton Stroope – Vocals
  • Drew Cribley – Guitars
  • Bret Cohune – Bass
  • Paul Niedermier – Drums/Percussion

Sounds a bit like: Maroon 5, Train, Our Lady Peace, Gavin DeGraw
Recommended for: People who like the aforementioned bands

I’ll start with the good.  Thriving Ivory’s album currently has over 90 reviews on i-tunes and the vast majority of them are five stars.  Not to mention, the band has received a lots of exposure on VH1 recently; I believe they’ve even broken into VH1’s top 20 Countdown. So, it’s obvious that people are liking them.  They sound a little like Maroon 5 and their lead singer, Clayton Stroope, has a quality to his voice that resembles Gavin DeGraw’s.  Couple all this with the fact that the bandmembers are easy on the eyes – appealing to a late teens/early twenties demographic – and you have a band that will likely do very well.
