ROCK’S NOT DEAD — YOU ARE! MARC DURKEE – “A WAY TO ESCAPE”
It is such a rush when a singer-songwriter-musician nails his colours to prog rock in this day and age! In fact, Durkee is proud to describe his music as “a blend of progressive, metal/rock, doom metal, post-hardcore, and post-rock.” A brave man!
PoP RECOMMENDS | POWER POP ROCK N ROLL : BILL LLOYD – WORKING THE LONG GAME
Bill Lloyd returns with a smart new album that will appeal to the PoP Faithful with its sophisticated take on Power Pop Rock N Roll.
PoP RECOMMENDS : FLEET FOXES – FIRST COLLECTION 2006 – 2009
Lost within the hype, attention and brouhaha over the 50th anniversary re-issue of The Beatles “White Album”, is First Collection 2006 – 2009, a retrospective on the early Fleet Foxes recordings.
ROCK’S NOT DEAD — YOU ARE!!! THE CASTOR TROYS – LEGENDS NEVER DIE (EP)

PoP RECOMMENDS | POP POWER!!! SPIRIT AWARD – MUTED CROWD
Seattle new wave revivalists Spirit Award are back with a new album, Muted Crowd.
REEL TO REAL : MUSIC DRAMA – BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
It’s impossible to be objective about Bohemian Rhapsody as I have been a Queen fan since 1977.
PoP RECOMMENDS | POP POWER!!! SAN MEI – HEAVEN EP
Aussie indie pop starlet San Mei returns with a new EP, Heaven.
PoPTV | THE NEW ROCK N ROLL : THE RACHETS – “DOTARD ON THE DIAL”
The Rachets (Ashbury Park, NJ) sound like a cross between The Clash, The ‘Mats and The Hold Steady. Which is fine with me!
GEEK OUT!!! HORROR : SCREAM ASIA FILM FESTIVAL – HANA | THEY WHO ARE NOT SEEN
On the final night of the inaugural Scream Asia Film Festival, horror fans were treated to the melancholy aspects of supernatural tropes with the short film Hana and feature They Who Are Not Seen.
GEEK OUT!!! HORROR : SCREAM ASIA FILM FESTIVAL – TOKYO LIVING DEAD IDOL
Director Yuki Kumagai combined his love for pop idols, quirky detectives and zombies to come up with his delightful horror-comedy Tokyo Living Dead Idol.
GEEK OUT!!! HORROR : SCREAM ASIA FILM FESTIVAL – THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT
One is never sure about a Lars Von Trier film as the auteur is able to deliver genius and self-indulgence (are they mutually exclusive?), sometimes in the same movie. This certainly applies to Von Trier’s latest opus – the psychological horror that is The House That Jack Built.
