» Album Review: "Ballad Nerd Pop" by Paperdoll |
|
Apr 29, 2008 - 3:44 PM - by aarisings

 When I reviewed Paperdoll's self-titled EP last year I knew they were a band to keep an eye and ear out for. Now they've released their full album titled Ballad Nerd Pop and it meets all of my expectations and then some. Vocalist Teresa Lee Chaisiri takes the 80's rock sound and brings incredible feeling to the songs. If this were the 80's she would definitely be compared to the likes of Pat Benatar, Dale Bozzio (Missing Persons), Terri Nunn (Berlin), and Kim Wilde.
Almost certainly, lovers of the 80's new-wave era are going to find Ballad Nerd Pop to be as energetic, playful, and fun as anything they can remember. But will this appeal to... [Read More]

» Album Review: "East West" by East West |
|
Apr 17, 2008 - 9:03 AM - by aarisings
|
 East West is a band that was formed only a few years ago by founder Reiko Obata. East West can be best described as jazz fusion mixing elements of Japanese Koto with instruments of a standard 5 piece jazz band. Their current self-titled album contains 10 tracks, some which are originals and some which are jazz standards. Featuring the core 5 members, they also add some guest musicians as well. Stylistically, this isn't the jazz fusion with an Asian twist you might be used to - the most notable example being the band Hiroshima. East West differs by adding into other musical influences from Flamenco and Brazilian rhythms giving the songs a strong Latin/Worldbeat flavor.
