The Black Keys switch it up "Danger Mouse" style with their latest offering, Attack & Release, a cleanly produced, soul influenced disc with more mellow tunes than the heavy blues rock duo have brought in the past.
A few listens of the new album in rotation with the old ones, just for perspective's sake, reminds us that these guys are good. Scary good.

At the age of 12, Jay Nash knew music was the avenue he had to go into. He listened to a 90-minute Maxell tape with the 1971 Grateful Dead Live album on one side and Cat Stevens' Greatest Hits on the other.
Jay speaks about that moment, "I felt a connection to something I'd never felt before." Jay's latest album, The Things You Think You Need, is a digital release that is taking him on the road to fame.

French Kicks - Swimming |

 In Stores May 20th Swimming around for what is the quintessence of French Kicks, this New York-based quartet's latest album proves to be promising. As the first-ever album to be produced and mixed solely by the French Kicks, Swimming has an array of songs that are pure and genuine. Having heard a couple of songs from their previous CDs, Swimming's music is definitely more emotionally compelling.
You can't quite mellow out with the singing because of the fast uplifting beat that drives the momentum of the songs. It's exciting. While a long, drawn-out soulful singing pleasantly appeals to the senses, a heartening and sustaining beat invigorates the body.

 Rated: R In the spirit of great horror comedies like Army of Darkness, Shaun of
The Dead, and An American Werewolf in London, comes Botched, a film that
takes funny and gore to the next level. This is the story of Ritchie Donovan
(Stephen Dorff) a professional thief whose luck turns from bad to
worse. The only survivor from a heist that goes terribly wrong, Ritchie
is forced to take the rap and is sent to Russia to steal a priceless
antique cross locked in a safe on the penthouse floor of a Moscow
skyscraper.
Unfortunately, his luck runs out yet again and things
rapidly go downhill. During the robbery Ritchie and his Russian
accomplices are trapped by police and are forced to take hostages
seeking refuge on the building's unused 13th Floor... and we all know
how unlucky the number 13 is...
